Worldwide Photo Walk!

The Memory Boutique is excited to be hosting the World Wide Photo Walk in Rockford on Saturday, July 24, 2010 from 9:30a.m. - 11:30a.m. The whole world will be walking again with Scott Kelby (Nationally recognized photographer and Photoshop Guru), in the Third Annual Worldwide Photo Walk™.

This is a free, social, non-training event. You don't have to be a photographer, you just need a camera. Pre-registration is required. To sign up, head on over to The Memory Boutique's Worldwide Photo Walk site. There are PRIZES! See details below.

The Worldwide Photo Walk is the world's largest global social photography event in the history of photography itself and we hope that all our local friends and customers will join in the fun. It takes place on the same day all around the world where photographers of all walks of life and skill levels gather together, to learn new tips from each other and explore their corner of the world through photography.

There are a ton of great special offers for participants and plenty of prizes to win from the Worldwide Photo Walk's sponsors. Plus, the winning photo from the Rockford location gets a copy of Scott Kelby's latest book and prizes from The Memory Boutique.

All ages and stages of photography are welcome to join in the Photo Walk. Jackie and I are bringing our kids - we hope that you will too! Register Now. The Photo Walk is limited to 50 people.

Photo Walk Location:

We will begin at Peppler Memorial Park in Rockford. Peppler Park is located on the Rogue River west of the Rockford Dam and is one of Rockford's most beautiful parks. Meet at the Community Endowment "Recognition Plaza" area. The Park has a new overlook, railings, access ramp, landscaping, flowers and stairs to Bridge Street.

We will then head up and down The Rogue River Nature Trail which is a newly-finished boardwalk along the Rogue River. It begins in Peppler Park, encompasses 4.5 acres, and winds a quarter-mile north along the river bank, offering scenic views of wooded areas, the Rogue River, and downtown Rockford.

From there we will head south up the White Pine Trail towards the bridge at Richardson - Sowerby Park. We will conclude at Frenz Coffee House to share our photos and thoughts from the morning.
So far around the word there are 1,095 Photo Walks Scheduled (including places like India, The Czech Republic, The Netherlands) and a total of 26,187 Photo Walkers. Wow!
