Umer and Andoria weren't distracted at all. They were totally focused on each other.




What a cool couple! At only 44 degrees that day, it seems they kept each other warm. :)

The Worldwide Photowalk is just that--worldwide, where amateur and professional photographers alike in cities as far as Tokyo and Berlin participate in the walk by traveling a predesignated route, on foot, and shooting what they see. That's it. Then when we're done, we upload them to Flickr, where some of the photos are chosen for the walk's best photos. But what's really cool is getting to see the photos of other people, who were in the same location as you, at the exact same time, and the variety of images captured. Here are some of the images I captured during our two-hour walk, which began at 10 am.































I can't wait until next year!

Maryland's own, rapper Phil Ade'





Miguel (from California). The crowd went nuts for this guy. NUTS! And for good reason, he puts on a hypnotic show.








London's Tinie Tempah





DMV's Wale. Even though it was Lupe's tour, the crowd chanted for Wale long before his set was due.







And finally, Lupe Fiasco. his show is a real spectacle and he gives off a crazy energy!











What a fantastic show! Can't wait until the next one, I'd see all of these guys again, wherever they perform.

Then we hit the streets. Although the event lasted through the night, stores were still open for shopping and dancing long past normal closing hours.



There was even a free photo booth for fashionable passersby.



And your photo was displayed on the wall above via projector.



Off to Betsey Johnson. WPGC's Free hosted the Betsey Johnson FNO party...

1. It's really hard to take a good self-portrait.

2. It always helps to pose in the mirror first. There is a mirror on the wall just to the left of where I'm standing in this image. I would pose in it and then turn to my right just before the 10 second timer expired. If I didn't do this, I would have twice as many crappy photos to choose from.



3. It helps tremendously to have something in your place to lock focus so that you can take many photos in succession. A lamp, fan, (a 9-foot paper roll), anything will work.

4. It helps to retouch yourself. And to wear makeup. Even if you're a guy.

5. The wireless camera remote I use for my Nikon D80 is useless on my Nikon D700. Since it's a professional camera, wireless remote transmitters are used instead. $20 vs $200.

Now I know. And knowing is half the battle, right?

I think our job, as photographers, is to make what we do look easy. But this was incredibly challenging with one light source.



Ariana did a great job! She's only 11 years old but needed little to no direction!



She is truly a star in the making. If only every child model could be so cooperative and lively!
