LEICA PHOTOWALK
Think color, think spirited, think
unconventional and artsy...you must be thinking Wynwood, Miami's vibrant art
district that pulses with energy and creativity, day and night. Wynwood is the
soul of Miami's urban renaissance. It can be sophisticated or it can be
eccentric. It can be teaming with life, or it can be a calm Sunday stroll. With
its street art, galleries, restaurants, and throngs of diversity, it is the
place to be in Miami, and a truly desirable place for any street photographer
in search of "the moment".
Come join us on Saturday, December 7,
at 11:00 a.m., as we use the streets of Wynwood as our palette for this year's
photo walk. Participants will have the option to test Leica cameras throughout
the morning's activity. What could be better than enjoying one of the world's
premier art districts with a Leica in hand?!
This guided event is free to the
public and all levels of experience are welcome. Bring your own camera or
borrow a Leica. Participants will gather on the sidewalk adjacent to Trendy
Studios at 196 NW 24th Street. Members of the Miami Street Photography Club
will be on hand to serve as guides and answer questions.
Let us know that you're coming by
sending an email to: info@miamistreetphotographyfestival.org.
