TOPIC IN BRIEF
People photography starts at 14th St. meeting point and eventually arrives at Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village, covering the interesting classic blocks in between. Washington Square Park alone is a mecca for people photography.

RAIN DATE
Stay tuned for weather updates closer to the event day.
We generally lean towards going with light rain. Great Rain photos are possible in the rain - see cover photo.

ALL WELCOME
Beginners to Professionals
All with Digital Cameras, Smartphone Cameras, Video Cams,

RESTROOMS
Barnes & Noble's Union Square store, located on 17th Street, and Whole Foods, situated on 14th Street, both have facilities.
Grand Central Terminal has plenty of facilities if you are coming through there.

PLAN
On this walk, we will attempt to capture people being themselves. They can be anyone walking, running, standing still, laughing, smiling, crying, frowning, pointing, waving, lecturing, and more.
Before we begin our walk, I will discuss some precautions.

We'll walk south of 14th St, onto 4th Ave., and cover many of the blocks on our way to Washington Square Park.
