I just saw this posting about a photowalk in Santa Monica, California. It made me think of two things:

1. Man I wish I could go. Santa Monica is about 90 minutes south of Bakersfield (where I live) and I’m still waiting on my new grandbaby. I’m afraid if I leave town that baby will for sure decide to make her entrance…without me. So, I’m sticking close to home.
2. Photowalk!? I didn’t know there was such a thing. If this is just an example, there must surely be more.

So I began searching. First there is a definition of what a Photowalk is. According to Photowalking.org:

Some time back, Robert Scoble, of The ScobleShow, and Thomas Hawk, of Zooomr.com, started photowalking. A genre was born.

Additionally, I discovered that should you find yourself in an unknown town, state, or even country, you can request a photowalk with local residents in order to learn of and photograph some of the more interesting parts of your trip.
