Due to reason that are because of me (Tony Fleming) and me alone I have to postpone the Mobile Photowalk. Once I get these issues resolved I will try to find a new date for the walk.
The DC Mobile Photo Walk 2010 is drawing near, and we are pretty excited for our first S.A.D. event. At the event, we will be giving away free S.A.D. stuff, including stickers, buttons, water bottles, and shirts. We are very happy that you are able to attend the event, so we want to show our gratitude.
If you are unable to make the event, and want to show your support, please visit our online store today.
There will also be other free giveaways, including memory cards, online photo accounts, etc., so if you are in the DC area, you have nothing to lose by participating.

When? Where? How?
The first official DC Mobile Photowalk will be on October 23, 2010 and it is planned to be a walking tour of the DC monuments and museums. We are still finalizing the details, but we will be putting them out as soon as we know. Please come equipped with your iPhones, Androids, Blackberries, Palms, and any other smartphones I failed to mention. A Flickr group has been created so everyone can upload their photographs in a central location. A Tumblr site was also setup for the same purpose as well.
First and foremost, this is a fun social event where people, who love taking photographs, can meet and have a good time. S.A.D, Inc. will be the featured cause at this event. We are very happy and honored to be in the forefront of an event that is going to grow because of its innovation and sense of community. We will be giving prizes and holding contests leading up to the photowalk and during, so it’s a win-win for all involved.
What is a Photowalk?
The first question I always gets when I tell them about the DC Mobile Photowalk is “Ummm…what is a photowalk?” A photowalk is a very simple concept. You meet at a designated location with other photographers. All of you walk around while you take photographs of anything that grabs you. While you are snapping away, you are having wonderful conversations, tips, and laughs with one another. It’d be great if everyone had a little extra time to sit down to talk after the photowalk. One thing about picture taking is that everyone has a different point of view, so not two photographs will be the same. They will have their unique twist to it. There might even be things that another photographers snaps that you didn’t even pay attention to, and now you are amazed at its beauty.

If you are thinking, well, I’d love to go, but I don’t really have the greatest smartphone, please come. We would love for you to join us with whatever camera you have. It is preferably calling for mobile phones, but it is also a way for avid photographers to meet one another.
