Wow!
To say that this was a fantastic event with a great turn out, dynamic people, great food and diverse photographic opportunities is an understatement.
When Carla first emailed me about the Scott Kelby Photo Walk event, I thought it was great. Plus, when the date of the photo walk lined up with the planned date of my next “Hidden LA” photo walk (what can I say, I’m a planner), it was like the stars in the heavens aligned for a very obvious “Duh.”
I took a deep breath, submitted my application and bio to the national site for a proposed photo walk of Silver Lake, California. The next day, I was accepted as a photo walk leader. And on July 18th, I led one of my the best photo walks to date.

Originally named “Ivanhoe” after the 1819 Sir Walter Scott novel of the same name and the site of one of the first of Walt Disney’s studios, the Los Angeles neighborhood now known as Silver Lake is home to diverse art, a thriving independent music scene, fantastic coffee and bistros and great photography opportunities.
The next Hidden LA themed photo walk, Hidden LA: Eclectic Silverlake, will now be incorporated with Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk on July 18th, 2009.
This event will be cross posted with the Los Angeles Hiking and Photography Meetup as “Hidden LA: Eclectic Silverlake” – or whatever clever and descriptive phrasing I can come up with before I meet a friend for late lunch.
