Jupiter Inlet

This past week, the 3rd Annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk was announced. Last year, over 32,000 people in over 900 locations around the globe participated all on one day (in July of 2009) and it was definitely a record breaking event. This year, the walks will be held on July 24th and I have registered to lead my very own walk! The reason I'm so excited is that the two walks I did last year (one in Jupiter and one in West Palm Beach) was the inspiration for the PBC Photo Walkers photography group. I must admit I didn't jump right into organizing this group... but I was one of many people who had a ton of fun last year and said "We really should do this more often". During the following month a few new friends from the walk convinced me to do something about it. I'm pretty sure we only had about 4 walkers at our first meetup in August of 2009; now our group has about 180 members!

Since I'm feeling so nostalgic about last year's walk, I decided to post pictures from the Jupiter walk. Our leader Kim chose Jupiter Inlet as the walk location.

This was the first time I ever took pictures with a group of other people and it really was amazing to see so many people getting together for this.

The really cool part was that even though we were all in the same location, we really captured a huge variety of images. The day started before sunrise...

 

As usual, some of the fun images are the ones of other photographers:

  

Our group found a lot of interesting subjects:

My favorite picture from this walk was one of the first shots I took this day. It seems kind of odd that I got up extra early to take pictures of the beautiful colorful sunrise, and then I went and converted the shot to black and white. However, I just love this shot and it is my photo of the week on DPC:
