I just wanted to share our recent outing i had during the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk. The photowalk in our area was held at Laguna Beach on August 23rd, 2008 @ 5pm. Myself and two of my friends attended the Photowalk and not really having any high expectations of the Laguna area. We've shot in the Laguna Beach location before in our own Photowalk group and we were a bit disappointed with our results. We figured we would still attend to see the diverse amount of talent in our area and to take part in an historic event, The Worldwide Photowalk. The best part of whole experience was meeting lot of great photographers in our area who share the same enthusiasm and passion for photography as much as we do.

The photowalk group consisted of 50 people which were later spread into smaller groups of 10 for easier manageability and mobility. I had a great time meeting people and sharing stories and experiences.

Here’s the link to the Worldwide Photowalk:

I was totally surprised I placed 3rd for my picture specially since there were so many great submissions.
