About This Walk
Little Havana’s Calle Ocho is a showcase of South Florida’s diverse cultures with unusual scenes and characters from the Caribbean with spot samples of live music, dancing, domino and chess games, arts and crafts creations, art galleries, cigar rolling stores, and much more.
Calle Ocho is an excellent location for Street Photography where you’ll be able to document its flavor and out-of-the-ordinary ways with strong wall murals as background, interesting characters, artists / shops, musicians, and the traditional domino / chess players
Through the photowalk I will be available all along for specific tips, technical consultation, and photography information to capture better images and make this a great experience. I am a retired Engineer / High-School Teacher that also taught photography classes for Broward County’s “My Community” School. I have direct field photography workshop groups through my MeetUp site and lead the Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photowalk groups in Calle Ocho in 2017 & 2018.
UPDATE WILL FOLLOW FRIDAY, THE DAY BEFORE – NOTE: There is plenty of (pay-by-app) parking at a reasonable rate along side streets.

Remember to charge your camera battery, check the memory card, and clean your equipment… if you’ll like, bring water but there are many cafeterias in the area and don’t forget sun (UV) protection. BTW -at your discretion, tripods are not advisable due to its impediments with the foot traffic.
