Fifty photo enthusiasts stepped off bright and early Saturday morning from the Canalfront Park in Historic downtown Lewes Delaware.
We started with the Park and from there we walked thru the Lewes Farmers Market, a community-based, producer-only, farmers market located in the Historical Complex off Shipcarpenter Street. This was the highlight of the walk. Numerous photo opps everywhere you turned with your camera. We ended our walk at The Beach House Restaurant where we grabbed a bite, swapped some stories, and did a little chimping (chimping is a term used for reviewing your shots on your LCD screen on the back of your camera, usually accompanied by lots of ooh, oohs and aah, aahs).
The free event (but registration was required), was the brain child of professional photographer and #1 bestselling computer and technology book author Scott Kelby. It's an opportunity for photographers, professional or hobbyist, to shoot photos and compete for prizes and socialize. It is the world’s largest global social photography event in the history of photography itself. It takes place on the same day around the world where over 33,000 photographers of all walks of life and skill levels gather together, to socialize, learn new tips from each other, and explore their corner of the world through photography.
The social aspect of this event has also transcended into the online world of social networks as well. Participants in the Lewes Worldwide Photo Walk are encouraged to post their pictures on the RolfePhotography Flickr site.

In addition to enjoying a day of photography with other like-minded individuals, participants are eligible to win prizes from the Worldwide Photo Walk’s sponsors if their Lewes photo is chosen as the best photo of the day by me, your walk leader. Be sure to submit your one image by July 31st. Each winning walk photo is then entered into a global competition where Scott Kelby picks the single “best photo” of the event along with 10 runners-up. The winners are announced August 14th. Full details are available at: http://worldwidephotowalk.com/
