Well folks, were are just two short weeks from the epic 2009 Worldwide Photowalk.  I know that everyone has been a little curious about how the photo uploading will be accomplished after the walk is done.  And while the exact process is not quite ready for prime-time, some of the details are now available.  To help get you prepared, watch the video below from my buddy RC so can be ready to roll when the big day comes.

Speaking of photowalks, I got some bad news today from one of my registered photowalkers, Danny Douglas.  It seems that the one of the major Chinatown landmarks and the starting point for my photowalk, the Friendship Archway, has been completely covered up as part of a renovation project that won’t be complete until sometime in August.  Figures!  I’ll still start the photowalk from this location but it is a little disappointing to have this great landmark removed from the shooting menu.

I’ll be heading down to DC sometime this weekend to make sure there aren’t any other surprises in store for us before we get together in a couple of weeks.  This also means that I should have the final route for everyone by next week.  Make sure you check out the city page sometime before the 18th to get all the details.

Finally today, I would like to thank everyone for participating in yesterday’s poll.  I am going to leave it open for voting for the next few days so if you haven’t gotten a chance, head to yesterday’s post and let your preference be known.  By the way, I was given a heads-up that the poll is not visible inside of RSS readers like Google Reader.  In fact all you will see is the html code for the poll interface.  I’m not sure how to work that out yet but I will be looking for a solution.  In the meantime, if you read my blog via RSS feed, and there are about 3200 of you that do, simply head to the actual webpage if you would like to cast your vote.

That’s it for today.  If you are going to be celebrating the 4th of July this weekend, make it a safe and fun day and don’t forget to take your camera and tripod out to your local fireworks display and capture the fun (try using the bulb setting so you can capture just the bursts that you want).  See you next week.
