๐๏ธ Miami Photo Walks Visit: Opa-Locka Architecture & Museum
Details
Join us in exploring Opa Locka, a city founded almost 100 years ago uniquely defined by its architecture. Think: whimsical Arabian Nights + Moorish-Revival architecture, with street names like Ali Baba Avenue and Sharazad Boulevard. As the city works to restore and reimagine its historic spaces, this walk invites photographers to notice what is worth preserving. This could span from aging details throughout the architecture, to the everyday life (people, nature, etc) that keeps the neighborhood alive.
You could by a hobbyist, seasoned photographer or just love the experience of capturing images on your phone. All levels are welcome. Come ready to explore + connect with fellow creatives.
