Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk – 100 Cities Across the Globe – August 23, 2008

Scott Kelby, president of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) and the #1 bestselling computer and technology book author, is pleased to announce the first-ever worldwide Photo Walk – 100 cities around the globe – on Saturday, August 23. The event is organized to celebrate the release of Scott Kelby’s latest book – The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers (an update to his earlier best selling Photoshop® Lightroom® book). Sponsors of this global landmark event are NAPP, Adobe, Wacom, CDW, Mpix, Peachpit, Epson, Kelby Training, and Photo Walk Pro.

Registration is free and open to all photographers – amateur to professional – from around the world. Photo Walk groups are limited to 50 participants in each city and advance registration is required. A grand prize, valued at $5000, will be awarded to the single best overall photo of the day taken from all the Photo Walk locations. In addition, the best photo from the day, chosen by each local Photo Walk leader, will receive a copy of Kelby’s Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers. Prize details available at http://www.photoshopuser.com/photowalk/prizes.html.

Kelby’s Photo Walk is a fun, social photography event where photographers get together for two hours, usually in a metropolitan area or a trendy section of a city, to walk around, shoot photos, and generally have fun with other photographers. Each Photo Walk has a local assigned leader that chooses the route of the walk and the ending place (a local restaurant, pub, or café) where participants will look at each other’s photos from the walk and make new photography friends.
