Worldwide Photo Walk 2015
Yesterday midmorning found me in the West End for the 2015 edition of Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk. This year, I joined a group led by Brian Anderson, with special guest Ted Forbes* of The Art of Photography podcast/youtube fame.

I’m sometimes a sucker for sale flyers from camera stores, especially when it comes to Lomography’s rather regular new film announcements. I was able to resist for several months, but Lomo sent me a $10 off coupon that was about to expire—I’m a sucker for that stuff too, apparently—and so I jumped on some Kono Kilorit 400 …
