FREE PHOTO WALK #24 : ★ ZOMBIE WALK 2014 ★

If you like walking, taking pictures and meeting other people, this event is for you! : )

This is a PHOTOGRAPHY EVENT with a theme. And for its 24th edition, the theme will be ZOMBIES :)

On Saturday November 8th occurs the annual Zombie Walk of Paris! And I propose that we walk with the zombies and try to take some crazy and scary pictures! The zombies will have terrifying costumes, awful make-up and dreadful behaviors, so this is not an event for the faint-hearted! Still motivated? :D

Before the zombie walk (from 14:00 to 15:30) there will be several entertainments and shows at Place de la Republique : zombie make-up stands / zombie runs / zombie dancing / fire eaters & juggling / …

The zombie walk starts at 15:30 from Place de la République. Everyone can join, however kindly note that during this event humans are considered as FOOD, so if you choose to not come disguised as a zombie: BE CAREFUL!!! The zombies will run after you to EAT YOU!!!

I will come disguised and I highly recommend you to come disguised as well, as it will allow you to take pictures more easily (= you won’t have to defend yourself against hungry zombies…). You are of course free to come as a human, but that is at your own risk!

Our meeting point will be at 14:00. We will wait 15 minutes (maximum) for everyone, then we will attend the shows and entertainments together, starting with checking out the make-up stands to watch the horrifying transformations of humans into zombies :)

SOME PRINCIPLES/RULES

As we will be a group : we will have to cooperate in order to avoid being in each other’s way. Therefore I would like to kindly ask you to keep in mind these simple principles during the shootings:

• Be patient & respectful to the others
• Be aware of what the others are doing, trying to take pictures of… (so you don’t stand in the way or shove anyone accidentally)
• And please give each other space to think, adjust settings, take pictures… :)

During the FREE PHOTO WALKS it is everyone’s responsibility to stay with the group (or not too far from the group). During this event it will be quite difficult to stay together but at least let’s try :D

RECOMMENDATIONS

I highly recommend you to come disguised as a zombie.

• There are plenty of specialized shops in Paris where you can easily find a costume and some make-up
• There are also plenty of websites, such as www.deguisetoi.fr (http://www.deguisetoi.fr/) which I have used several times (the prices are reasonable, the order is quickly confirmed and prepared, and the expedition is ultra-fast!)

And as usual: please bring a bottle of WATER and wear GOOD SHOES.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
LIMITS

As the Free Photo Walks are NOT guided tours nor photography classes:

• I will not make any comments about Paris or anything else along the walk. However, any Free Photo Walker can share any knowledge he/she might have about Paris. That’s up to each of you :)

• Please do not expect to get any photography lessons and please do not talk to someone just to get advices. Of course, any Free Photo Walker can give advices to another Free Photo Walker if he/she wish to do so. That’s up to each of you on an interpersonal basis :)

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
AIM REMINDER

Please remember that the aims of this Free Photo Walk are WALKING, SHOOTING and MEETING NEW PEOPLE :) This will allow us all (Beginners, Intermediate, Advanced and Expert photographers) to spend a wonderful day together :)
