Worldwide Photowalk: Georgetown Style

Yesterday was Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photowalk. I was fortunate enough to be able to sign up for a walk in the Georgetown district of Washington, DC. Not only is Georgetown an unbelievably interesting neighborhood, but our walk leader is well known photography author and instructor Jeff Revell. Our walk group had an excellent mix of people participating; a few guys who were pro shooters (including a cool food photographer, Michael Palmer), some people with point and shoots, guys like myself who weren’t pros but serious, and even a few kids. In all we had a good time, I got to chat with a lot of people, talk some photography, and just enjoy the heat (which was brutal). 5 of the 6 shots I’ve got up here today are in 4×5 format, I always like trying things a little bit different, and thinking about framing my shots with a different aspect ratio is an easy way to do so. But enough yammering, here are the others from the day.

I’ve got a special bonus shot from this weekend too. On Friday night I went into the city to see Dave Matthews Band play at the Nationals Stadium. The concert was excellent, and I was in some excellent company. Unfortunately, all I had in terms of photo gear was my cell phone so this shot isn’t great, but I like it enough.
