On Saturday July 18, 2009, thousands of photographers in hundreds of cities and towns around the world will participate in the Second Annual Worldwide Photo Walk. The purpose of the international event is simply to get photographers together for a couple of hours of fun and camaraderie.

Syl Arena is organizing the local event in Paso Robles – “Our Paso Robles Downtown Photo Walk will begin at the historic gazebo in our downtown park (12th Street at Park). We’ll stroll through the nearby Saturday Farmer’s Market – and graze on the delicious summer fruits offered there. As we circumnavigate the park, we’ll visit the gardens at the historic Paso Robles Inn, walk Paso’s downtown alleys (where we’ll find many bits of hidden history), and eventually end up on the doorstep of Studios on the Park – Paso’s brand-new collection of artists’ studios. After the walk, we’ll pile into the Downtown Brewing Co. to compare photos and continue the reverie over lunch.”

The event is free (but limited to the first 50 registrants). It will run from 9:00a to 11:00a. The pace is a leisurely stroll.
