Newport Beach Photowalk, Jan 4
By Brian Auer • January 1st, 2009
Just a quick shout to anybody in the Southern California region, a few of us are getting together on Sunday afternoon at Newport Beach for a little photowalking. Nothing formal, just a chance to get outside and hang out. Anybody is welcome to join us.
MEETING PLACE: Newport Pier, Newport Beach, CA
MEETING TIME: Sunday, January 4, 1pm
Seriously, if you’re in the area, come hang out for a little while and take some photos with us. Everybody is welcome to join. We’ll meet at the base of the pier and start wandering from there — no plans, we’ll just go wherever looks interesting.
Last time we went to Newport Beach, we couldn’t get to this area because it was so crowded (nowhere to park the car), so we ended up down by Balboa Island. But it shouldn’t be as crowded now that it’s January, and we wanted to check things out up by the pier. Here are my photos, Bryan’s photos, and Alex’s photos from the last Newport Beach and Balboa Island photowalk.

A couple of you guys have accounts on Photowalking.org. Ya’ll should post this there too!
If I was in town I would certainly join in. Unfortunately I’m in Stockholm (other side of the globe), so I hope I can join some other time. Have fun!
Wish I could go but I’m post-op from foot surgery, maybe next time…..can’t wait to just get out and walk somewhere. Have lots of fun!
How was the photowalk? We are about to hold another one in Florida in a few weeks. I came across a new iPhone app called HearPlanet that looks like it is going to rock for photowalks. I reviewed it here: http://www.tkrphoto.com/2009/01/hearplanet-application/
If you try it out let us know what you think.
It wasn’t too bad. We just had a few friends show up, so it was fairly relaxed and informal. It turns out that Newport Beach wasn’t the greatest place to photowalk… I guess we get spoiled when we have places like Venice Beach and Hollywood Blvd.
