About PDX Photowalk

This is a group of photograhers that enjoy the concepts of "The Photowalk". This group meets and walks around the Portland, Oregon area taking pictures and then sharing those photo's with others on this Flickr site. Everyone is welcomed to join a walk, all you need is a camera.

While not exclusive to digital photography, in practice digital photography makes Photowalking more realistic as a hobby due to its experimental nature, the number of pictures typically taken in the process, and the possibility of post-processing afterward.

While closely related to Street photography, photowalking is differentiated by the main impetus being to photograph things of interest rather than people specifically. It is also often done as a method to practice and improve one's own photography skills rather than a with specific focus on documentary photography.

Photowalking is also a form of exercise as it can take the photographer over the course of several miles as they wander a particular site or neighborhood.

Photowalking is also often associated with on-line photo sharing.
