Here at the London Photo Walk we hope that everyone had a great holiday season and a chance to relax with family and friends.
With the new year we are back to walking and photographing, starting in a couple of weeks.
The details of the next walk are as follows:
Date: Saturday January 23, 2010
Time: 3:00pm
Meeting Place: Springbank Park (Storybook Gardens Parking Lot)
Entrance: Off of Commissioners Road
Route: Still to be determined
Map Will Be Posted Soon
We thought that this would be a great opportunity to get out and take some nice winter scene pictures (assuming that the snow is still around). Trees with snow, people all bundled up, perhaps we can build a Snowman or throw a snowball or two, its all an opportunity to get out during the winter season and just have fun.
We hope to return to Springbank Park later in the year and hopefully Storybook Gardens as well, but more news on this as the year passes on.
We hope to see you all out. Remember to dress for the weather, that means remember to wear your electric underwear.
If the weather turns out to be very very bad that day we might have to re-schedule, but we will see what it is like that day.
The eighth installment of the London Photo Walk will be taking place in the East London Industrial area. Under suggestion of one of our participants we will be heading to this area to see what type of interesting photos we can gather.
The details of the walk are as follows:
Date: Saturday, November 21st, 2009
Time: 4pm – 6pm
Location: East London Industrial Area
Meeting Spot & Route: Boyle Community Centre Park (Princess Ave @ Charlotte St.) Free Parking
After: Sam & Bill’s Sports Bar (Dundas Street @ Ashland Ave)

In the future there is no doubt that this area will be slated to undergo a number of development changes and as such this is a great idea to be documenting it now. It currently contains a number of heritage buildings which add character to the area.
We look forward to seeing each and everyone of you out at this walk. Remember, as we move into winter all participants should dress appropriately for the weather.
Museum London along with the London Arts Council have teamed up to offer an unconference centred around social media for the arts to be held Saturday November 14, 2009.
SMArts London will be a free “unconference” that will feature a full-day of sessions and discussions that seeks to connect artists (performing arts (theatre, dance, performance), visual (fine arts, photography, painting, etc.), multimedia (film & video, computer) and academic/curatorial artistic communities), art administrators and art dealers with the social media practitioners and enthusiasts who can help them understand the value, potential and benefits of new media.
