2019 Annual 36 Photowalk - Call for Leaders/Places

The 36 Walk LogoThe 36 Walk Logo

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, Hindi, Italian, Russian, SpanishUrdu and now Ukranian.

This is great @PaulPavlinovich, we can always use better images on Google Maps.

 

I hope to see a lot of meet-ups in different cities with the "36 walk" titles. 

 

This could become a great theme, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how it will turn out.

Excelente @PaulPavlinovich , como el año pasado quisiera organizar una en Buenos Aires, todavía no tengo escogido el sitio pero estoy seguro que será muy buena, ya veremos.

@PaulPavlinovich What are some of your suggestions for hosting walks? Should they be out in nature? I'm thinking of hosting one!
