    Hey Scott - saw the site for a bit and now it’s gone again - can’t wait for the Photowalk! :)

    Great idea! You gotta love the WWW and how everyone across the world can be connected like this. I just hope I have the right lens with me for the photos that I want :).

    Scott,

    Nothing in the NYC area? Can additional sites be added? Lot’s of Kelby fans here in northern NJ and the big apple.

    Hi Gang:
    Lots more cities are being added (we’re updating the site today), and Bob you’ll be happy to know, we already have two different walks for NYC.

    If you want to lead a walk in your area, go to the site and follow the links for info on how you can lead a walk. :)

    Hope you’ll join us!

    Here in Manchester, England it is the Gay Pride Festival that weekend. Could make for some very interesting portraits from the Manchester Photo Walk!

    Great idea Scott, thanks.

    Scott,

    I read the terms and conditions.

    Guess I’ll have to decline the Photowalk, much as I would love to participate. Once again, I note that a photography contest has become a rights grab. I am not among the ranks of professional photographers, but I still decline to give away rights as in “a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive right and license” you ask us to grant you.

    Photowalk has gone from being something fun to do, to several paragraphs of legalese.

    Scott,
    is the site currently being updated?
    I went to link and it was down the few times I checked.

    It worked the first time then when I came back to it, it was gone.

    I’ll keep checking throughout the day, but I did notice nothing in Buffalo was started, so I think I definitely will be starting one here for that.

    And I was all worried about being away on vacation for this date I was suppose to keep opened …

    It just so happens I’ll be in Vancouver and was planning a quick meetup with David Duchemin anyway. Consider myself signed up.

    @ Michael Shaw,

    Hey Michael, I can understand that you are a little bit bummed out about the Submission Rights Clause, but I don’t think that should stop you from joining the walk in your area.

    You can still go out, meet a great group of photographers in your area and enjoy the day and the socializing afterwards. Then if you choose not to, just don’t submit your images. Granted you don’t get to compete for the prizes but you get to have fun anyway!

    I am leading the NYC photowalk. I am still finalizing details, but I am thinking that it will be Chinatown, Little Italy and NoLIta. Look forward to seeing everyone there.

    To all people here in Sweden (mainly southern) who might want to go to the Gothenburg Photowalk (which om the host of). I haven’t decided 100% on where the start point is going to be but we’ll be walking up to Götaplatsen and end at a café nearby. Just finalising the last details, keep posted on the website :)

    The photowalk site seems to be gone again :( I did see it for a min then tried to go to the sign up page and the site went blank. Now the main page is gone too.

    Not sure if it’s a technical glitch, but it looks like http://www.photoshopuser.com/photowalk isn’t working at 8:30AM-CDT/9:30-EDT, I’ve tried it on two computers (both Mac and Windows), just not workin’… nothin’, zip’, zero.

    Excited to try to to get details for Chicago, Illinois!

    Hey Scott,

    Big fan of the blog and photography in general. Love your books! I agree with Bob that a NYC photowalk is a must! Glad to hear your response that there will be multiple walks in NY. Sign me up! Cannot wait.

    Hi Everyone,
    I am leading the Washington DC photowalk but my DC page has not yet been updated with the details. I am actually planning to have the walk in Old Town Alexandria but I don’t have an exact route as of yet. For those of you that are interested in hosting your own walk and want more information on photowalking and how to organize one, you can check out my post on this very subject - http://www.photoshopuser.com/photowalk/city/washington-dc.html

    I look forward to seeing everyone on August 23rd.

    For those in the DC area, interested in a less marketed and more community oriented photowalk, I’m leading one the day before. We’ll be shooting the sunset and the National Mall.

    That photowalk, and many more can be found at http://photowalking.org

    Ok…I thought I would do something different, even though the event looks real fun and all (Really does.. I hope Madison,WI is going to be on the list. Guess I’ll wait and see;) I was thinking, does Matt just like to show off the literature. He does such a “great ;)” job on Photoshop User TV. I’m sure it’s totally random and it just is…but I had to ask.

    I’m not sure why people are complaining about the fine print.
    If you look at any contest,
    whether it be for radio, tv, photography, general art.
    the second you submit your work, you rights to it.

    This isn’t something new, so I’m not exactly sure why people are acting surprised. This is standard contest legal jargon.

    aside from that looking forward to the Buffalo walk

    I did get a confirmation link for signing up for the NYC photowalk but as of 12:24pm whenever I click on this link I only get a blank page. The photowalk page is also blank at this time also.

    I will check back later to see you have been able to correct the blank pages.

    It seems as if a great site that has been working on promoting, organizing and establishing Photowalks should have been part of this somehow.

    http://photowalking.org

    Give homage where its due? Promotion of you books seems like a petty reason to hijack a well established online community. Maybe you should have worked together with them in some way?

    Bryan Pearson on July 28th, 2008 at 2:08 pm

    @Nate Benson, no this isn’t standard contest legal jargon, but unfortunately many contests do try to get away with a rights grab. Any photographer who values their work should refuse to participate in contests with rights grabs and make their reason known to the sponsors. Note that anything you submit is subject to this clause, not just the winning entries. We were successful in banding together in voicing our opposition to NatGeo and getting the rules changed for their “Great Outdoors Photo Contest” to something more palatable (see A Photo Attorney’s post http://www.photoattorney.com/2008_01_01_photoattorney_archive.html).

    We need to continue to fight back against blatant rights grabs. The only people who participate in contests with rights grabs are those who don’t know any better or who don’t value their work.

    Scott:

    All of the links on Photowalk are not working. Either I get a blank page or absolutely nothing happens.

    It is 2:55pm in NYC.

    Please give us all an update. The video is working…but, there is no way to sign up or do anything else but watch your video.

    Maybe we can all send you a post card with our information, and you reply by postcard to each one of us?

    Hey Scott,

    I’m interested in taking part in the photo walk but as your blog states it’s down right now. Is there a photo walk going on in Richmond, VA and also are you ever going to do any seminars or training in the Richmond or Washington D.C. area? I love your blog and your books are great. I am trying to learn as much as I can about photography and anything you can tell me to help I would appreciate. Thanks, so much for everything you do!

    @LoriC

    I worked in radio for 3 1/2 years.
    if you called in for a contest you waived all rights to your name for the station to use.

    You have to understand that NAPP is a MAJOR organization they have to cover all grounds. Does anyone honestly believe they would use more than 10 of the tens of thousands of photo’s that will be submitted? It is a legality. and while yes you are waiving the rights to your work, its a photo from a photo walk, not the lead story for Time we’re talking about. It would be one thing if they’re asking us to set up a shoot on an aircraft carrier, or the top of the empire state building, but its a walk through your downtown. I think we’re jumping the gunn on calling NAPP and CO. the Rockefeller conglomerate

    So far the link is not working still for anything other than the main page and I am very anxious to see if there is anything going on in Macon, GA (my little town)!! If not….heck, I may just go myself and do my own ‘thang’!

    I wanted to address the TOC issue that has been mentioned here a couple of times. I wrote an article about this a couple of days ago and where this differs from many other TOCs is that there is no intent to sell your images as stock photography like so many other contests have done. In order for NAPP to actually post the submitted images on their website you have to give them certain rights otherwise they would be publishing without consent. Also, they want to use the images as promotional tools in the future. I am pretty sure that if they personally called you and said “Hey Bob, would you mind if we used one of your photowalk shots in an issue of PhotoshopUser magazine?” that you would probably have no problem with that at all. And if you are lucky enough to have the grand prize winning shot, wouldn’t you want them to show it off for you? I think the answer is yes. Finally, this contest is not looking to remove your rights from your images. That in itself is a huge deal. The problem is that the wording for all of these permissions has to meet the lawyer test so that there will be no future liability to them down the road. Seriously though, if you have heartburn about the TOC, just don’t submit any images. That in no way means that you can’t attend the photowalk and enjoy the day with other photographers. Trust me when I say that it is a lot of fun!

    Jeff

    PS - Bryan Pearson, there is a photowalk site that is sponsoring this walk and I am sure that Trevor from Photowalking.Org would be happy that photowalking is being promoted in general. He might even be joining me for the photowalk as he will be in town.

    I really do like your blog, just thought I would let you know,I read it every day. It would be great to be involved in a photo walk of some sort but, I live in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and well not much every happens hear, maybe you could try to include this small town or a nearby town sometime for me, or let me know any way how I could get something started hear. Thank you, Keith

    If your ONLY motivation for participation is the “contest” and the “prize” stay home. Otherwise take it for what it is - a worldwide photo walk. Enjoy the simple fact that you can spend a day outside - with people that have a common interest - having fun taking pictures - sharing information and maybe a bite to eat. There are certainly worse ways to spend your Saturday.

    @ Jeff (#55)

    You and others have made good points. After having the remainder of the day to think about this, I have to agree with you.

    So my post (#10)? Not so much. Apologies to all it may have offended. And certainly no diss to Scott and the NAPP folks (who work right down the road from me).

    I have registered for the Photowalk and will enjoy it in the spirit it was conceived. My previous post notwithstanding, I am actually quite excited about it!

    Thanks for all the “attitude adjustments”.

    I have commented, hours ago. But it hasn’t been approved yet.

    I’m not too excited about Scott hijacking the photowalking community to market his new book.

    Yes, it’s cool that photowalking in general is being promoted, but at what cost? I think now I’ll be working hard to disassociate photowalking from being considered a marketing tool.

    I probably won’t be joining Scott’s photowalk.

    @ John (#65)

    Please read the TOC again because you have got it wrong. NAPP will not own rights to your photograph in any way, shape or form. You still own the rights to your image and control it in every way except the following:

    What you are granting them by submitting your image is there ability to use your image for promotion of NAPP, whether it be a tutorial, on there website, in there magazine, etc. They will not be paying you for this right and they will always have this right, but they cannot turn around and sell or give your image to any other organization to use. That right is still exclusively your own.

    And as Jeff Revell and I have said, you don’t have to submit a photo in order to participate in a walk and enjoy the day with your fellow photographic community.

    Hope that helps clarify.

    Scott is saying 100+ cities and right now the site has significantly less than that. Is there any plan on when cities will be rolled out? I don’t want to miss out on getting in on a photowalk with the 50 person limit, but I’m also hoping a closer city is added.

    Hi Scott,

    Awesome Idea, I will certainly be joining the London walk (the tune you were thinking of is “Lambeth walk”).

    Hey i’m no pro, just a guy that enjoys shooting pics, and personally I’d welcome any exposure my images got. I dont get all the fuss over the rights.

    Take some great shots, hand over some winning photos and get exposure aswell as winning some great prizes :) im finding it hard to find the downside.

    Great blog BTW, i read everyday but am not much of a comment writer, in fact this is my first! YAY ME! :)

    We do have similar Photowalks here as well.. except that we are in Singapore!

    Do take a look at my webbie for some of the shots taken during the walkarounds…

    One interesting event we have here is Photohunt. A set of photos were pre-shot, and distributed among participants, they would need to find these shots and re-shoot them (hopefully exactly). This really help in improving the photographic skills and the work on the “eye”.

    Hi Scott,

    I have requested to lead in walk in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada, but when I filled out the request form, I did not realize I had to list any qualifications or experience.

    Will this prohibit me from leading a walk? Can I update my profile with the necessary info?

    This is an awesome idea. I have wanted to do this for a long time, but now we have the backing, support and motivation from the biggest names in the industry.

    Thanks

    How about listing the cities in alphabetaclical order by continent? That would make it easier to sort through. Also might want to differentiate between Portland, Maine and Oregon on the pulldown list! Wouldn’t want folks to sign up for the wrong one!

    I had the same issue, just reported it to the website team (via contact).

    http://temp.amenthes.de/photowalk_error.jpg is a screenshot of the error. I can’t really pinpoint the error from here. I tried several times with different files.

    I’m registered for the SF walk. I’m looking forward to it. Heck, if there are 49 others out shooting, I’m bound to meet someone cool! Given that I’ve been shooting with a DSLR for less than 6 months, I’m looking forward to having a blast and learning a thing or twelve.

    I guess some of the more established folks will be fretting about rights, and that’s fine. I agree with the other comments about going, having fun, and not entering the contest if you don’t like the rules. It doesn’t have to be a big deal… If you don’t like the rules, don’t play the game.

    Me… I’d love some free passes to PS World or even a free book. I’m entering!

    @ Shawn from Madison

    Shawn,
    You should sign up to be a leader in Madison. I’m about an hour away and would try my hardest to get there if it was on the list. If not, it looks like Chicago is the closest.

    Hi Scott!

    I popped in on the 28th to sign up to lead a walk in Prescott, AZ. The idea sounds great and I’ve already gotten a good response through my blog, so I hope Prescott gets on the map!

    I also wanted to say, the Photoshop Lightroom 2 book sounds great….but….. I just got used to my workflow in Lightroom! :) Looks like I’ll be downloading the update today, and I’ll be placing my order for book #2!

    Thanks for the great publications! Every person I tell about the Digital Photography book loves it, and like me, ends up piling a collection of Kelby books in their homes!

    Hi Scott,
    Great idea, looks like fun. I’d like to sign up. Unfortunately, even though it looks like the Terms & Conditions have been modified on the basis of the complaints above, they still prevent me from participating. I have an exclusive contract with iStockphoto to distribute royalty-free imagery, and they have confirmed that your Terms & Conditions would violate that contract.

    Given iStockphoto is a major sponsor of some of your other projects, like Photoshop User TV, it seems a pity that you couldn’t work out Terms & Conditions that would provide what you need, while not violating their exclusive contributor contracts. I am sure between you and the smart people at iStock licensing you could work out something appropriate (e.g. the right for you to have a Rights Managed license for a limited time and specified, if broad, uses, with no fee to the photographer, for those images that won the best image in each city, for instance). That’d be a great step forward…
