Re: Planning another Instagram photowalk

[Doctor Popular]

Thanks Josh, I'm forwarding your email to the rest of the Instawalk google group list. Laurie's walk in Oakland sounds fun.

And a reminder that the Dolores Park shindig is scheduled for 7 May -- ideas for photowalks starting or ending in the park are most welcome!

Hey Sasha, sorry I never got around to replying to this before, but I wanted to chime in on your idea. One thing that we've talked about during our get togethers is that a lot of us tend to enjoy the walking trips better than the trips where we just hang out in a bar or whatever. But I bet there are some folks on this list or elsewhere that might be into the "meet" part more than the "walk" part. So maybe there could be an event with both.

Perhaps a walk could start somewhere, like in the Castro for instance, and then end up at Dolores Park at a certain time. So some folks could do the walk, some could do the park, and some (hopefully most) could do both parts. If you dig that idea, you could try throwing an idea out for a meeting spot, then ending at the park.

Towards the rest of the group, is May 7th good, or should we do something sooner? Maybe even a thingy this weekend?

I really like the idea of doing a lazy photowalk in Dolores Park. We just set the next worldwide instameet date for Saturday, 7 May. Since photowalks are the theme for this coming worldwide meetup, I thought this might be a good time to organize the shindig in Dolores Park:

Really excited to do a meetup outside of a dark bar ;)

Hi all,

Lana and I had an idea for a lazy photowalk in Dolores Park. We recently met a few people, who bring their dj set up and play great music in the park, pretty much all day long. Once the weather gets sunnier, I suggest we coordinate an instameet with the music crew, for a more fun experience. Instagrammers can set up their picnic blankets, beer coolers and roam around the park taking photos (day time is great for portrature).

One of the coolest things from last Bloodhound Instameet was being able to view the dynamic photo feed once you clicked on the location. Suddenly, I could see the same venue through the eyes of 50 other participants – definitely a very surreal experience. Imagine what can be done during the day light, and with a bigger audience. I think a Sunny Day Dolores Park Instaparty will be a great venue to co create beautiful photography and get the entire park to socialize together.

Let me know if anyone else has interest and we can make something happen soon,

Sasha

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to let you know that we're going to start using meetup.com as a way to organize InstaMeets. The hope is that this will make it easier for users in all different parts of the world to organize their own meetups. We'll post on our blog about this in more detail today or tomorrow, but thought you all might want to take a look now. Let's get another SF photowalk started up!

As always, let me know if you have any questions or ideas for how we can get more Instagrammers together. We're happy to help out!

Thanks,
Josh

Hey everyone, I've set the date for the next walk on Feb 19th. I wrote details here http://www.docpop.org/2011/02/sf-instawalk-saturday-february-19nd/

Feel free to spread the word if you'd like. I've attached an image from our last Instawalk, but feel free to use any other image you'd like when spreading the word. What do you guys think about using #instawalk for our hashtag?

Thanks for all the input on the walk and I'll probably see many of you at the IG drink up next week.

Hey all,
I had a blast on our last photo walk through Privately Owned Publicly Open Spaces, and I wanted to schedule another Instagram themed walk for February. I'm still in the planning stages, but I wanted to run it past you guys first. I know we can't always accommodate everybody's schedule perfectly, but I'd love to hear suggestions/concerns/whatevers. Here is what I'm thinking:

Saturday February 19th. Let's meet up at the Ferry Building at 10:15 am and ride the 10:40 ferry to Sausalito together! Between the shots at the Ferry Building, on the Ferry (which is a fun ride and has booze), passing Alcatraz, and the geographically beautiful but full of tacky tourist shops city of Sausalito this should be perfect Instagram fodder! If you've never done the ferry before, it's a great experience. When we are done, we can stop at a pub in Sausalito before catching our ferry back around 4ish.

That's my idea. I'm hoping you guys are into it too! IG is down to promote it on their bloghole, but I don't think we'll have any official support otherwise.

Glad you emailed. I hadn't seen the May 7th date. Thanks. I plan on attending Laurie's walk this Sunday. I met her on the @joshjohnson BOS instawalk. Looking forward to meeting more IGers. 

On a side note, I'm running bay to breakers - 3rd Sunday in May. Excellent ops for photography! Put it on your calendar. I'd love to see what shows up in the feed that day. Whether you run, watch or party - B2B is a blast!
