Photo Walk Description

Welcome to our Photowalk! I participated as a walkee last year and had such a great time, I decide to host a walk this year. I absolutely love seeing the variety of photos you get from a group of photographers all taking photos at the same time and place. I can’t wait to see everyone’s unique perspective.

This is a great chance to meet other photographers, ask questions and share your love of taking pictures. Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend.

We will start at the Smart Park by the train station with a group photo and then set out along a predetermined route. I will have directions for the route available the day of the walk. Sunset is at 6:49 that day and hopefully we will have some sun and be able to take advantage of the beautiful light around sunset. I plan for the walk to take around 2 hours then will have a restaurant or pub where we can go to share stories, photos and get to know each other.

Please check back for updates especially as we get closer to the date. If by chance we have really bad weather that day, I will have an alternate plan.

If you sign up and find that you can’t make it, please update your RSVP so someone else can attend.

Looking forward to seeing everyone and having a great photo day!

  • More walk details

    We will walk around through city streets and a couple of parks. Lots of glass buildings with reflections, old buildings, parks with water. Plan to end up back in the start area before sundown. The top of the parking garage will be great at sundown, or the bridge would be nice as well.
    There isn’t a restaurant in the immediate area, so we’ll picnic/tailgate while we wait for sundown. Bring a bite or you can pick up something from the Subway on the corner nearby.

  • Trouble registering

    There seems to be a slight glitch when registering. Several people have said they are getting “user already exists” messages and picking another name, only to be registered twice. I suggest you try once, give it a few minutes and see if you are registered before trying again. I will also email the organizers to see if this can be fixed.

  2. Betty Jung says:

    Can’t wait. I guess it took my registration afterall. Thanks Karen for leading the walk!

  3. Patricia Mark says:

    It registered me twice, if I leave the walk will it take both of them off or just one? Pat Mark

  4. Nicole Baber says:

    Can’t wait – Hope the weather is decent!

  5. Andrea Gingerich says:

    Thank you for organizing one on Sunday!

    It appears as thought the system may have also registered me twice as well. :/ hmmmm.

    Looking forward to it!

    • Karen Milligan says:

      Andrea,
      For some reason the system is duplicating the emails it sends out, but you are
      only registered once.
      Thanks for joining us.
      Karen

  6. Daniel Hedrick says:

    This will be my first WWPW. Looking forward to it!

  7. Jody Ellis says:

    Karen,
    It’s so great that your doing this! I’ve been on all these walks but never a night one – that’s perfect. I think I signed up as the availables went down to 19 but I’m coming no matter what!

  8. Eric Franz says:

    I just found out about WWPW through another website, and immediately decided to sign up. It sounds like such a great idea. I recently moved back to my native Portland after three years and a lot of photo opportunities in Japan, so I’m really excited to re-explore Portland now that I am so much more into photography. Thanks Karen for hosting and I can’t wait to meet everyone! Best,

    I’m looking forward to this walk and the fun opportunities.
    This will be my second walk.
    See you all at the Union Station. Doug

  10. Betty Jung says:

    OK I know there will be a million questions, or not, but I can’t find where to upload my one picture for the contest? It says the team leader picks “the one”. I know you said there’s a flicker account somewhere too — sorry to be so clueless but could you let me (or us) know if others can’t find where to do that either. Thank you. I enjoyed the day but totally exhausted. Thanks for being the leader of it.

    • Michael Marks says:

      Hi Betty, I was having the same problem, I read on another forum that you need to log in to be able to upload. I just logged in (this page on the upper right corner) and the upload box now shows up. Good luck.
