Toronto Photo Walks

If you’d like to help with the organisation of some photo walks, drop me a line. Send me your email address, cell phone number and a guide to which part(s) of Toronto you know well enough to organise a walk.

What does it take to organise a walk? There’s obviously the route but also arranging the lunch and post-walk stops. There’s usually 3 or 4 days between closing the poll (which determines the area for the next walk) and posting the details. (more…)

I was surprised to find out (from some of the people at the High Park walk) that there are still people using LiveJournal – I’ve had an LJ account since mid-2001 but it seems to have gone quiet over the past few months, mostly as people move to Facebook/Twitter. Anyway, due to public demand, there is now a TOPW LiveJournal community @ tophotowalks.

Our regular schedule is to go out every other Saturday:

• Our next scheduled event is on Sunday January 1st – polar bear dip @ Sunnyside [details].
• Information about the first TOPW Group Exhibition is now available!
• The calendar (in the sidebar) uses Google Calendar, so you can import it into your own organiser!

Suggestions for future locations are here; past walks are here; if you’d like to help organise a walk, find out what’s involved.

I was trying to use WP-o-matic to copy comments from the Toronto Photo Walks Flickr group‘s Discussion board into this blog but it seems to copy items multiple times. I’ve excluded these posts from the auto-tweet feature (after accidentally spamming my Twitter followers with 40+ erroneous tweets – sorry!) but it’s still making a mess of this blog, so I’m turning the WP-o-matic plugin off. Their website says a new version is “coming soon” and I might try it out, but I’m wondering if I still want that functionality.

We’re a group of photographers with a wide range of abilities (from accomplished photographers to those just starting out) who get together to take pictures in and around Toronto. There’s no fixed schedule but we aim to meet up at least once a month.

The Toronto Photo Walks group started life as a Facebook group and now it’s also a Flickr group; both were created by and are currently administered by Paul Henman.
