Photo Walk Description
From Chita:
Hi All, Welcome. We plan to meet at 9:45am to take a group photo, and then began at 10am. If the weather is adverse, we will reschedule for the following day. I will keep you posted. Remember, this is Michigan weather, be prepared for anything. 
. Bring water.
Hi Chita,
I live in Ann arbor, so if you need any planning help, just let me know. I’m the Big Ypsilanti football coach from MacGroup. I haven’t been able to attend lately, but I stay up on the discussions.
Charles,
Great!
I will definitely let you know.
You know the 25th anniversary of MacGroup-Detroit
is this month and Steve Wozniak will be attending.
Hi All,
Here is the URL to view my Photowalk of last year at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens.

Hello.. I believe I have registered for the Ann Arbor Walk..
Yes, Maurice,
You are on my list. Welcome, great to have you back this year.
Chita, thanks for inviting me! I am planning to attend. Am I now “registered,” or do I have to do something else? First time for me, so I’m unsure of procedures.
Gordon
Hi Gordon,
The invite was to make you aware.
You now have to offically register for THIS walk.
Chita,
This looks like fun and I can’t wait. Do I need to do anything else, I’m in the same boat as Gordon I have never been before and am unsure of the next step.
Thanks
Debbie
Hi Debbie,
Same message to you, also.
The invite was to make you aware.
You now have to offically register for THIS walk.
Looks like a fun way to start the day.
Definitely!
I’m really looking forward to it.
Hi again, I think I am registered. Please confirm. Thanks! It will be good to see you.
Yes, Kathryn,
You found it.
You are now registered for this walk.
Looking forward to seeing you and catching up!
Hello Chita,
I received two duplicate “you are registered” responses. I didn’t want to take up two slots so I thought I would let you know.
William Riegel
Hi There!!!
Glad to see you on my list. And…
You are only taking up one slot.
Chita,
I registered yesterday and not sure if I was successful. Could let me know if I’m registered?
Thanks
Lou
Hi There Lou!
Sorry for the delay, been away at tennis tournaments.
Yes, you are registered.
Hi Chita! Thanks for the e-mail. I always look forward to seeing one of my favorite people
Thanks Chris!!!
Looking forward to seeing you and catching up as well.
Hi All,
Here is a map of the Nichols Arboretum site:

I would like everyone to meet at the 1610 Washington Heights entrance to the Nichols Arboretum, by 9:45am, so that we may take a group shot.
Washington Heights is a one-way street. There is a parking lot with adequate parking for us on the right as you drive toward the 1610 Washington Heights address, a quaint little house. No permit is needed to park here on weekends. For reference, the Ronald McDonald House is also on this same street.
Chita
I’d like to suggest that after the walk, we meet at:
Moonwinks Cafe, 5151 Plymouth Rd.
Great food for any palette.
It’s about 5 miles from the Nichols Arboretum
http://www.moonwinkscafe.com/
Unless there are other suggestions.
Charles, you live in Ann Arbor, any suggestions to offer?
Hello – I have been trying to decide literally for the past month which walk to join. Alas – I have finally chosen this one. Looking forward to it. This will be my second Photo Walk.
Cheers
Welcome!!!
Glad you decided to join this walk!
Hey Chita, I was having trouble entering my info. At the end, it said that Username already exists…. did I actually get signed in with one of my previous attempts. Looking forward to being there…. Ron Kroll
Hi Ron,
Yes, you are registered here!
Hi Everyone,
Looking forward to Saturday!
The temperatures are expected to be in the mid 50′s, and sunny, so it should be a great day for taking photos.
Also, the areas directly adjacent to the Nichols Arboretum are teaming with city life. The helicopter sitting next to the hospital as I was looking up from the lower Nichols Arboretum entrance was cool. Thus, feel free to add the direct surrounding areas to your shots.
So far Moonwinks Restaurant is the place to meet after the shoot.
I have never done one of these before and I am looking forward to it!
Hi Chita,
This will be my first time going on a photo walk and I’m very excited to be going with your group. How often do these photo walks take place?? I would love to be able to go on more if there is any others throughout the year.
Thanks,
Steve Gonzales
Hi Steve,
Welcome!
The Scott Kelby Photowalk happens only once a year.
Hi All,
I’m keeping up with the weather.
You know Michigan, wait 5 minutes and it will change.
Plan B is to have the walk on the following day, Sunday, if we have inclement weather on Saturday.
Now, with that said, let me say this:
1. As of right now, there is a 40% chance of rain on Saturday.
For me, in Michigan, that means “Don’t cancel plans just yet.”
So we are still scheduled for Saturday.
2. If it is not raining when our walk starts, but starts to rain during our walk, and deemed that we shouldn’t or can’t continue, then we will automatically reschedule for the following day.
Any images taken by walk participants on either day will be allowed into the contest.
3. I will be sending emails about the walk up to the very morning of the walk, if necessary, so keep a lookout.
I don’t think I need to say DRESS Warm!!!
Temp figures to be about 40ยบ
Tomorrow is about the same around this time except sunny.
Figures. So…
See you there!
an hour driving around and I couldn’t find the place!!!
I hope there is a one tomorrow Sunday.
Anmmar,
Sorry you couldn’t find the location.
As for Sunday, the rest of us who walked today may not be there to join you,
but if you go to the Nichols Arboretum and take shots between the hours of
10am-11:30am, I’ll allow them into the contest.
Hi All,
It got warm just in time for lunch today.
That’s Michigan for you.
Thank you for braving the cold with me.
And I look forward to seeing your photos.

Hi Everyone,
Let me first thank everyone once again for being a part of the 4th Annual Scott Kelby Photowalk: Nichols Arboretum leg. Even in spite of the cold weather, it was a pleasure.
Judging was difficult, it always is.
My panel of judges had a lot of great things to say about each image.
And now that you get to see the images, you’ll understand why.
These are all great images.
My congratulations to Eric Steed for being selected as “Best Photo for this Location.”
Eric, good luck going forward.
The People’s Choice Voting is about to start shortly, so please keep a lookout for it and be a part of the voting. I will keep you updated.
