Brownwood Bulletin 3
BAA Photo Group looking for photographers for Photo Walk
SPECIAL TO THE BULLETIN
news@ brownwoodbu lletin.com
The Brownwood Art Association
Photo Group is pleased to announce it
will once again be participating in the
Scott Kelby, National Association of
Photoshop Professionals Worldwide
Photo Walk on Oct. 5, 2013.
The location for the local shoot
will be the Brown County Museum
of History, which is located at 212 N.
Broadway. The photo shoot will start
at 9:30 a.m.. During this shoot, the
group will also be taking photos for
two upcoming shows for the Brown
County Museum of History and The
Turtle Restaurant, which will be held
during October and November.
The Photo Walk is open to anybody
an interest in photography and would
like to participate.
“The
event is
free to par-
ticipate...
just bring
your cam-
era,” said
BAA Photo
Group
member
Fred Spen-
cer.
Photographers interested in sign-
ing up for the walk can do so on-
line at www.worldwidephotowalk.
com. Once at the website, search for
“Brownwood,TX” in the search bar and
then select “Join this Photo Walk.”
Last year the Worldwide Photo Walk
had nearly 30,000 photographers from
nearly 1,300 cities/locations across the
world. Our local Photo Group had 10
participants and used the Brownwood
Municipal Airport for our photo-
graphic backdrop. The photo shoot
at the airport produced some great
photos and at the same time it allowed
the Photo Group to share images of
Brownwood with the World.
The group currently has an ongoing
exhibit at the BAA entitled Black and
White. The exhibit will be open from
6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesdays, 1 p.m. to 4
p.m. Wednesdays, 6 to 8 p.m. Thurs-
day and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays
until Sept. 5.
The photo group meets at 6:30 p.m.
the first Thursday of each month at
the Brownwood Art Association’s Art
Center, located at 215 Fisk Ave.
