The Far-West Uptown Photo Walk

Our next Meetup is an uptown meetup in the Hamilton Heights, West Harlem and Manhattanville neighborhoods.

Date and Time. Saturday February 21st at 2:30 pm
Meeting place Montefiore Square at 138th and Broadway
Nearest subway station; the 1 train > “137th street - City College”
Four blocks away, the A train > 135th Street at St. Nicholas Avenue

As we explore this new area, we will walk down 138th Street to Riverside Drive, and then to 12th Avenue where we will walk a good distance under the 12th Avenue Viaduct in an interesting and quite photogenic industrial type area.

Eventually we will emerge again, passing the famous but now defunct “Cotton Club,” and climb a few steps to Riverside Park, with Grant’s Tomb and Riverside Church right there posing for us.

We will leave this area via 122nd Street and attempt to photograph subways trains heading down the open tracks and vanishing into the tunnel beneath us at 122nd & Broadway.

We can attempt to find a bite to eat and refreshment as we get to 125th Street close to a 1 train Station.

Don't forget your charged batteries and empty memory cards.
Tripods are not needed on this photo walk. All-purpose zoom lenses are suggested but any and all cameras are welcome as are all users from novice to expert.

Please be on time! The NYC Subway System is a hellscape of unimaginable delays that will wreak havoc on your mind, body, schedule, and soul. Plan your trip with some extra time!

Details of this event may be added or changed at any time, so please check in periodically on this page. Cellular phone numbers are private and will not be provided. If you have questions, please leave them in the comments below before the event begins.
