Columbus Lunch Walks – Facebook Mobile Photo Group

by at

A fellow artist and good friend, Matt Yoho, started taking photos with his mobile phone while strolling on his lunch break. Recently, I have been inspired by his photos and decided to join him. Now the concept has quickly blossomed into a facebook group called Columbus Lunch Walks. The idea is that you take a healthy walk during your lunch break or daily break (not necessarily lunch), you take photos with a mobile device (tablet or phone), make any photo corrections in your phone, post it to the group page and tag the photo in the comments with #‎mobile‬ ‪#‎photography‬ ‪#‎lunchwalk‬. By posting to the group you are helping create a mobile photo gallery and by tagging the photos you are linking your photos to members in the group and any facebook user who might use those tags. Every Friday Curator, Matt Yoho will choose an image from the group to award the best of the week by making it the cover photo for the group. Below I have added some of my recent mobile pics I took with my Nokia 920 smart phone.

New Photo Tumblr site called Tubby Likes Walls

by at

So, to keep myself in a mode of creativity, I like to find new ways to take photographs whenever possible. My newest adventure has combined my need for more exercise, walking my dog, and taking pictures. Tubby Likes Walls is a new Tubmlr site devoted to my Shepard/Samoyed/Lab mix 11 year old male dog named Tubby. For the past 10 years Tubby and his sister Precious always loved to walk on walls and jump over obstacles on their walks. Last year we lost Precious to Cushing’s Disease making Tubby a only dog for the first time ever. To help provide him more attention and help me lose some weight we now take very long walks with one goal in mind, find a cool wall or object to take a picture of Tubby on or around. Here are a few Photos (mostly taken with my phone) from the tumblr site. If you want to see more feel free to check out the original site Tubby Likes Walls.
