Ah, the weather’s getting warm, evenings looking a bit stabler, and there’s an itching in our shutter fingers to fire these cameras back up. Which can only mean it’s time to boot the infamous Nick and Derek’s Photo Walkabout’s back up.

So, for those of you who missed them last year, here’s the skinny:

Roughly one day a week Nick and I pick somewhere public to show up with cameras. We ask and encourage any and all of you who can make it to show up there as well. We then spend an hour or two, puttering around, taking pictures, giving advice, talking equipment, trading stories, telling off-color jokes– you know, photographer stuff. We believe in a chill, personable atmosphere, so everyone of any skill level or camera type is welcome, ’cause it’s all about getting out there, scoping a new area out and seeing what you can get from it. You know, experience, practice, and maybe a little fun.

We generally keep these events free, unless you have to buy parking. But, we don’t charge any money. If people want models, Nick and I have a few connections and we’ll gladly run a pool to give them something to come out and make our photos that much more interesting. The last model we had out was wonderful, despite the shiver-inducing sub-40 weather. Brr.

So! The first Walkabout of oh-ten is going to be next Monday evening, let’s call it 6:30 so Nick and I can grab a bite to eat, up in Carmel at Coxhall Park. That’s a good week’s notice, so it should give you time to plan. It also gives us time to arrange a model, so if people want in on that let us know in the comments, on Facebook, or at dmartin@robertsimaging.com today or tomorrow and I can get ahold of some people.

Also, if you get there and we’re not thre yet, don’t scurry off. While of course supernaturally handsome, witty, and charming as any Roberts employees, we’re still subject to the same awful Indy traffic and occasionally run a little late. We try, but, well, that’s how it goes.

So, Monday April 5th. 6:30pm. Coxhall Park, Carmel, IN. We’re open to working on different days, times, etc… as needs be to best suit the most of you, but we’ll start there.
