Awesome Photowalk at Santa Monica

I had a blast at my first Photowalk! Thanks to Thomas Hawk for posting about it and Trevor Carpenter for organizing the event. On top of that, I brought James Corsini with me – and he doesn’t even own a camera! (He borrowed a Casio P&S camera, so that worked out fine.) He was stoked that he came along. We had a great time hanging out with a lot of awesome and enthusiastic photographers.

• You don’t need a DSLR camera – a P&S will work fine. If you can take photos, you’re good to go.
• If you’re taking photos at night, bring a tripod. I was struggling to get steady photos.
• Don’t be scared! It seemed like most of the guys in the group didn’t even know each other until that evening.

P.S. I first heard about the Photowalk through Thomas Hawk at Twitter.

Update: Here’s some links to the other photographers that were there. Thomas Hawk linked to them already, but I’ll do the same for kicks.
