Sorry I'm such a slacker. Meant to get the ball rolling sooner, and now that it's getting so nice out I have no excuse. So I'm proposing a couple of spots:

Uptown or Lyn-Lake
Minneapolis Farmer's Market
Harriet Island/Wabasha Street Caves
downtown Stillwater

Dates are trickier for me, with Geek Prom coming up on the 22nd, and a friend's wedding on the 29th. Sunday the 23rd or Sunday the 30th could work.

Votes?

I vote for the 30th, as I'm out of town on the 23rd.

The 30th works better for me as well. As far as location, any of those sound interesting.

I had fun at the farmer's market last summer. I haven't been since then -- is there as much to photograph this early in the spring? Either way, I'm up for any of the above.

I'm totally new to this and would like to go. Can someone give me a quick explanation of what you do on a photowalk and what I should bring? I'm assuming I just bring myself and my camera? Thanks!

massdistraction is a group administrator massdistraction  Pro User  says:

Hey there and welcome. And yep, that's pretty much it! This time around we need to figure out an exact location to meet up...but we generally find each other, then wander around together for a couple of hours, snapping off photos of eye-catching subjects. Afterwards food and/or beverages might be shared somewhere.

we definitely must come up with a specific meeting spot. my suggestion is the lawn in front of paper depot on 3rd, between border & lyndale. other suggestions are, of course, welcome.

not at all. here's a map, just picture the red marker a little to the left, on 3rd ave itself. paper depot is the only business/building on 3rd, so you can't really miss it. just don't try to park in paper depot's lot ;).

Hey! You're not thinking of stealing my Flickr button, are you?

Also: I didn't even know there was another Farmer's Market—this is not the one on Nicollet Mall!

I spread the good word at the Art Crawl, hopefully we'll have some new members joining us.

doodledave says:

just an fyi - i was at the market last weekend and there isn't a whole lot going on down there just yet. flowers and olives and baked goods, but also lots and lots of empty stalls. i'm sure it'll still be a great time, but don't expect a mid-summer frenzy or anything. bonus upside: parking is a breeze.

The empty stalls can provide refuge from the occasional showers ;)

Sunday
Occasional showers. Highs around 55. East winds 15 to 20 mph
