By Guest Blogger Ken Snyder of Unified Photography
On Saturday, October 1, 2011, the world’s largest global social photography event in the history of photography will take place during the “Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk.” The event takes place on the same day around the world where photographers of all walks of life and skill levels gather together, usually in downtown areas to socialize, learn new tips from each other, and explore their corner of the world through photography. This year, Glen Haven, Michigan will be a local host site for one of the 345+ photo walk sites around the world.

Glen Haven, a historic ghost town in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, is a perfect photo walk destination to experience some of Michigan’s most beautiful and magnificent natural wonders. There is no fee to participate but pre-registration is required at Worldwide Photo Walk. Anyone can participate. All you need is a camera. It doesn’t even matter what kind of camera. In the past, people showed up with disposables cameras, had a blast, and left with a new appreciation for photography. Sleeping Bear Dunes is so beautiful that it doesn’t matter what your skill level or camera you bring – you will come away with captivating pictures!

The social aspect of this event has also transcended into the online world of social networks as well. Participants in the Worldwide Photo Walk post updates to Twitter before, during and after the event under the #WWPW hash tag, they share their pictures on Flickr, and get updates from the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) via their Facebook page.

In addition to enjoying a day of photography with other like-minded individuals, participants may also be eligible to win prizes from the Worldwide Photo Walk’s sponsors if their photo is chosen as the best photo of the day by their walk leader. Each winning walk photo is then entered into a global competition where Scott Kelby picks the single “best photo” of the event along with ten runners-up.
