Photo Album and Contest Information

Hi everyone! I want to thank all of you for coming out this morning. It was really great getting to know you and spending the day photographing.

I have created a Picasa album titled Worldwide Photo Walk 2011-Capitola. I have attached the link. What I need you to do is, to send me an email (scenesbythesea@gmail.com) from the gmail account you wish to upload to Picasa from. I will then grant you the permissions necessary for you to begin uploading your photos. Please add a caption to your photos and include your first and last name. For the photo that you want to enter into the best of contest, please add “Best of” into your caption.

You were a really great group and I had a blast! Send me any questions that you have. I will send another update with the “post by” cut off date for the contest.

Thanks again!

Tomorrow is the day!

Tomorrow is the day so how will you recognize me? I will be the short gal in the oversized WWPW Leader sweatshirt. Last year the t-shirts ran small and I did not expect the sweatshirts to be true to size. Oops. =) I will be in front of Zelda’s restaurant by the outdoor patio area.

Do not forget to charge your camera battery, pack an extra flash card or rolls of film, wear comfortable shoes, bring a pad of paper and pen and / or business cards in case someone would like you to email them a photo you have taken. Still no rain in the forecast, but it will be cloudy and cool.

Please contact me if you have any questions and I will see you all tomorrow morning!

Are you ready for Saturday?!?!

The weather is suppose to be pretty good, but recommend wearing layers just in case. Also, do not forget a bottle of water. If you have any questions before Saturday morning, please let me know. If you are unable to make the walk, you will be missed, but please go to the website and remove yourself from the walk.

See you on Saturday!

Walk update and the after the walk meet up location

Hi everyone~
Just a quick update. Our walk will begin at 9 AM, so I recommend that we all meet in front of Zelda’s Restaurant at 8:45. Parking – bring coins for the parking meters. The parking around the esplanade is 2 hours only and then you are required to move you car. There is also a couple pay lots around the esplanade. Parking up the hill is 4 hours.

I thought it would be fun to do a photography scavenger hunt. On the day of the walk, I will provide everyone with a list of photo ideas for us to create and capture. After the walk, we will meet up at Armida Winery Tasting Room for free wine tasting! Please have your photo ID if you plan on tasting.

Let me know if you have any questions. See you all on October 1!
