About This Walk
We are excited to be hosting another Worldwide photowalk in downtown Phoenix. We chose Roosevelt Row again as this urban setting is great for street photography. In addition to the interesting personalities we always encounter, there is some amazing street art and some unique buildings. We will meet at The Churchill which is an indoor food court. It has a great vibe to get us excited and ready to walk. If you need to grab a quick drink/snack before we start walking we recommend you get there a little before 4:00. We will plan to start walking about 4:10 (to ensure everyone has time to find a parking spot and find us). We will walk east on Roosevelt Row until we reach about 5th St. We will then cross the street and walk back toward Arizona Wilderness DTPHX to end our walk. Anyone wanting to join us for some social time, dinner and drinks is more than welcome! We will likely be out on the patio in case you get separated from us.
We are so excited to explore Roosevelt Row with our cameras! As a reminder we will be meeting at The Churchill (901 N 1st St, Phoenix, AZ 85004) at 4PM. There is a small parking lot across the street, but it usually fills pretty quick. There is a larger parking garage across Roosevelt Row on 1st St as well as some street parking. We will start walking at 4:10 after we take a group picture. If you are running late we will start our walk on the south side of Roosevelt Row, walking east (in and out of alleys) toward 6th street. We will then walk back on the north side of Roosevelt Row (again in and out of alleys). Please dress comfortable and bring water, as it will be hot…but also know there are plenty of shops/restaurants if you need to dip in somewhere for some quick AC/drink. After the walk we will meet at Arizona Wilderness DTPHX for anyone interested. Food/drinks are ordered from the counter inside and they will bring your food out to you. We will try to get a table together or a couple tables (depending on how many stick around). We will keep an eye out here for any questions, or you can email us at exploretography@gmail.com.
Also as a reminder there is a photo contest tied to this event. On the day of the event/after you’ll come back to this walk page and you will see a submit button to submit your favorite image to the official walk contest. In addition to the official Worldwide Phot walk contest we will also be hosting a contest for a $25 gift certificate to Tempe Camera. To submit to this contest we ask that you an email your favorite image (just 1 image please) from this walk to exploretography@gmail.com by Sat Oct 12. We will create an album on our Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/exploretographers) If you are not already a member of the page, please request access if you would like. You do not need to be on Facebook to join, but it will be voted on by the group members (1 vote each). The image with the most likes will win! We will post the winner on Facebook and notify them through email.
