Photowalk at Fort Lauderdale Riverfront
A gentleman by the name of Paulo Jordao has set up a “Photowalk” this Sunday in Fort Lauderdale by Las Olas Riverfront. Paulo says he’d like to invite all Photographers (Professional or Amateur) and all Photography Lovers to join in on this fun and inspirational adventure that is Photowalk.
A photowalk is the act of walking around with your camera and photographing your surroundings. Recently the term has become synonymous with a group of photographers (professional or amateur), with big or smaller cameras, walking in predetermined locations and then sharing their imagery. Alone or with a group, the purpose is still the same and that is to go out and shoot.
We are going to meet around 9:45am at Las Olas Riverfront (300 Southwest 1st Avenue Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312). They have a little outside water-fountain that is going to be our meeting point. Because South Florida’s weather is so unpredictable and most of our summer rain goes away as fast as it comes, I want to assure you that we will be there, no matter what… Sunny or Raining. If it’s raining we will relocate our meeting point to the first floor, close to the escalators. Paulo’s Cell# 954-270-0751
