36 Walk Call for walk registration - closing March 3rd

Hi everyone, in order to give the best chance to promote your Meetups the registration of new walks will be closing in seven days on March 3rd. Please get your walk registrations in soon. Its not too late to join.

WE WANT YOU!

As Local Guides we rely on images in Maps every day. When we’re looking for a place, or trying to find out what it looks like inside or perhaps the quality of the meals served or products sold.

When I look on Maps I often see some absolutely amazing images, but I also see a lot of mediocre and even poor images which reflects poorly on Local Guides.

Organiser Paul Pavlinovich

the 36 walk mission is to help people improve their own photography

Photography has become too easy. Most of us have a camera in our pocket and we’ve lost the need to care because making an image costs us nothing.

By constraining ourselves we must take more care with every image because it has to count. This leads to Consider. Compose. Click.

Why 36? In its heyday the most popular film came in 36 shot canisters. Each shot cost real money to develop. There was constraint. For most people this meant quality.

Each year, the 36 walk has grown because Local Guides care about quality and care about their contributions to Maps.

join the mission: lead a walk

Information is provided to make it easy to run a walk. Simply register your 36 Walk Meetup called “36 Walk place” e.g. 36 Walk Melbourne-AU to run March 23rd and post a link to your walk here so I can include it on the MyMap. Information packs are available in English Dutch Hindi Italian, Russian and Spanish and now Ukranian. Read the information pack and if you have any questions ask them on this post. Feel free to use text from the information packs on your post.

join the mission: join a walk, or go solo

After the leaders join the mission the walks will be advertised. Join one of these or go solo. It’s up to you.

Attendee packs are available in English, Dutch, French, Hindi, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Urdu and now Ukranian.

Great iniainitia @PaulPavlinovich . I would have loved to host one of the 36 walk not just because it’s a global movement and I do lots of photo walks in Lagos. But since I already organizers in Lagos and Abuja, I will just join in their walk.

Cheers!

Hey @TimBull @RussKH @deadmanjones @PeteMHW … any chance you guys would be interested in hosting one in the North West? I’m travelling up to Scotland for a birthday party so I can’t host a meetup unfortunately.

I am really enjoying following this 36 walk @PaulPavlinovich , and I see more and more of them.

Congratulations on the succes so far, it is clear that this has taken off like a rocket this year.

I will do my best to check out every single recap, and hopefully we’ll see some great photos.

I think we’ll see some awesome photos @MortenSI I’ve been watching the list grow and while it looks like it will be a smaller set this year there are some seriously top notch Local Guides getting the walks organised.

I have no doubt it will turn out great @PaulPavlinovich !

I don’t know how many walks were organised last year, but I agree with you. I see some very active Local Guides arranging walks and I think we can expect top quality photos.

It’s going to be great to see the final result.

@AdrianLunsong can’t do it sorry for the late response. Anyhoo, it’s everyone else you asked who have proper cameras!

@PaulPavlinovich I see the deadline for registration has already passed. I missed it. Is there any way I can register a walk now?

Any camera is fine @deadmanjones

Do it quick @SaifIS and I will add once your Meetup is approved.
