Besides getting to meet other local photographers in person, photowalks are always good for getting the proverbial shot of a photographer, photographing a photographer, photographing something. Here is the photo I liked best from all the shots I took at the 3rd annual Worldwide Photowalk on July 24th. It was very hot out when the walk started at 3:30pm so everyone enjoyed their time photographing in & around the tunnels which run under Rivers Street on Appalachian State University campus. Even though I forgot to register her for the event and contest, I took my daughter along with me. She had a great time taking pictures of flowers and butterflies and even got some cool shots on the little compact digital camera I let her use.

For a look at my other shots from this event, please visit my WWPW 2010 set at Flickr. I do plan to upload my daughters shots to my flickr account when I get a chance so stay tuned.

In the interest of trying to post something here more often, I am going to begin posting at least one shot (maybe two) from each weekly theme for my 365; I am now past two hundred days. I haven’t quite taken a photo every day but I certainly have learned a lot about photography and I hope it shows in my images. This past week the theme was “streets”. Here is a shot I have been wanting to try for awhile now. It is kind of cliche but taking these kind of shots, for me anyway, increases my understanding of how various types of photos are made.
