G’Day Local Guides, I use Google Maps just about every day and rely on your reviews and photos to help me find the good stuff. Local Guides is something I care about quite deeply and to go with that I care about the quality of the photos that we put on Maps. This is why a few years ago I started a bit of a movement towards better quality through the concept of the 36 walk. Most 36 walks are this weekend! #36walk

There are 25 walks this year across 14 countries. You can find a walk near you on the 36 Walk My Map for 2019, if there isn’t one there is no reason you can’t do your own 36 with just you or perhaps a few friends. There’s nothing to it but to enjoy a nice day out challenging yourself to make the best images you can but only 36 of course!!

So what do you do? 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: join a walk, or go solo

Attendee packs are available in English, Dutch, French, Hindi, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Urdu and now Ukranian thanks to my wonderful translators (see credits below).

Hi @PaulPavlinovich !
What a fun initiative, I used to shoot a lot of 35mm film and can really relate to your idea :sweat_smile:.

This weekend in Amsterdam is the Open Tower Day, and like last year I am organizing a Meetup which sadly no one seems able to attend. I guess I will transform it into a solo #36walk! I am excited to share the images with the community!

Do we have to create a separate post or just share it under yours?

That is the spirit @MargotG believe it or not sometimes no one comes to my Meetups too - its just a part of life. To help improve that I promote my Meetups on my social networks and there is nothing wrong with coaxing a friend or two to come along.

@Danish_Raza @DhawalShah @IshantHP_ig @KashifMisidia I look forward to your walk recaps :).
