About This Walk
This year’s Photo Walk is a leisurely stroll through the main streets of Ybor City to photograph the beautiful architecture, people, and happenings in this historic district. Join me and a bunch of your Bay Area neighbors when we meet in Ybor City for a great morning of shooting and learning. This event is about taking pictures, meeting people, and having fun shooting. You don’t have to be an experienced photographer. You don’t even have to have a great camera. Just come out with an open mind and explore the thrill and art of photography. I will help you with your camera settings, explore ideas about different shots, and guide you through some of the more excellent parts of this historic district.
I will be at our start location 30 minutes before the walk to answer questions and have a cup of the delicious Blind Tiger Coffee. Feel free to join me. Afterward, we’ll end back at Blind Tiger for a quick bite and to show and tell about the great photos you shot!
I have been a photography instructor for over 15 years. I bet I know how your camera’s buttons and dials should be set, and I will be happy to show you! Please feel free to ask questions during our walk.

Hi Photographers, I hope you enjoyed taking in and photographing Ybor City today. It was great meeting new people and seeing old friends. As I mentioned, if you want to email me your best shot of the day, I will put up a webpage on my site so everyone can see your work and share their experience as well. Don’t worry if your image doesn’t look prize-winning to you! Just let us see your cool shots and see what you saw. If you have any questions, you may also send me an email. Send your photos here: chip@chipshotz.com. I will email you back with the page link. Thanks again!

Hi Photographers,
We have a fun walk coming up on Saturday. It looks like the weather will cooperate, although it will be warm. I’m looking forward to seeing you all. To participate, you MUST register HERE. We will meet at the Blind Tiger Coffee Shop at 1823 E 7th Ave, Tampa, FL 33605, between 8:45 and 9:00 a.m. and depart on time. If you are unfamiliar with the area, need to find a parking space, or want to come for coffee and to meet and greet, please arrive early. Plenty of street parking should exist, but the Centro Ybor Parking Garage is within blocks. Click the link below for a map, or do a Google Maps search for it. There is a charge for parking in Ybor City. I think it’s $2.50 an hour at the meters on the street and in the garage. And yes, they do ticket!
While we will not run a marathon, we will walk several blocks. Please be prepared with comfortable shoes, layered clothing, and a bottle of water if needed. Bring only the camera equipment you can comfortably carry
I will take some time explaining our route, giving you some challenges (if you want one), and explaining the essential operation of your cameras if needed. I will also discuss composition, lighting, and things to think about in this historic district. We will meet rain or shine. In foul weather, there are plenty of places to take cover and still get some great shots! Above all, let’s be SAFE! We will be walking close to traffic (sidewalks only) and in and around buildings. Please be mindful!
