What we’re about
At least once a month at HoustonPhotowalks.com, we drum up some crazy idea for a place to photograph and practice our photo techniques. We're a fun bunch, no pressure, no stress. Come ready to learn and share what you know among other photographers.
Check out our Member Discounts, Sponsors and other cool stuff on our Good Stuff page:
This group is perfect for new camera owners, novice hobby photographers, and old dogs that have been shooting photos for a long time.
Our group has 3 main principles that guide our way:
• Fun and Safe (we want you to have a great time, and not die).
• Honor the amateur photography clubs that came before us. Their enthusiastic interest in photography paved the way for the technology evolution that allows us to capture light today.
• Education, of ourselves, each other and the community. We learn our best techniques from each other, and we teach the community that photographers aren't jerks, criminals or terrorists.

See all- Photowalk: 9th Annual Abandoned Houston on ChristmasMarket Square Park, Houston, TX$2.00
Downtown Houston will be pretty much abandoned on Christmas Day. It’s a great day to get middle-of-the-street shots without (hopefully) getting run over. If you’re looking for something to do on Christmas day, join us for the Abandoned Downtown Photowalk!
We will start at Market Street Square Park under the shelter by the restaurant, photographing the art installations, murals, and historic buildings. Then we will make our way along the road downtown.
WHY A PHOTOWALK ON CHRISTMAS DAY?
Christmas day is a great day to get together with friends and fellow photographers. It’s a chance to see Downtown while it’s completely (almost) empty. You will also have a chance to play with any new camera toys that Santa brought you. 🙂 And, it’s an excuse to get out of the house for folks that don’t want to be at home alone on Christmas day.
DESCRIPTION
We will start near Market Square Park and shoot some of the historic buildings in the area. Then we’ll make our way through downtown, passing several historic buildings, new construction, and points of interest. We will pass many completely empty buildings that are usually full of people.
If we are lucky, we may find a parking structure or two that are unoccupied, allowing us to get up high and shoot some abandoned-looking downtown streets.
THE MAP

I suggest parking near Market Square Park. Since this is a holiday, it should be pretty easy to find free/cheap parking spots nearby.
