The seventeenth Chennai PhotoWalk
Update: Err…I went back and counted. Can’t believe I goofed up. More importantly, cannot truly believe we’ve already done 17 Photowalks in Madras. Woah!
Update 2: Due to multiple, and repeated requests, I have decided to change the date and time of the 17th Chennai Photowalk.
The new date: Sunday, 22nd February, 2009. Time: 9 AM.
Hello folks and volks and yolks.
It’s been a long wait, I know. But here’s the announcement you’ve all been waiting for. The 16th Chennai Photowalk will be held on the 28th of February, 2009 (A Saturday. We’re breaking our cardinal rule, but we hope you all come anyway.). We will walk one of Chennai’s oldest localities – Poonamallee High Road beginning at Dasaprakash Hotel and ending at the Rippon Building intersection.
The route promises loads of interesting street photo ops, including great architecture – The Dasaprakash is a beautiful art-deco, Wesley church and St. Andrew’s Kirk, loads of beautiful, crumbling old buildings and some hideous new ones. And then, at the intersection of Poonamallee High Road and Periamet is a rare sight in Madras – horse drawn tongas.
In all, I think this is a great route to walk and hope all you people come.
To recap: Saturday, 28th February 2009, 9 AM. Starting point: Dasaprakash Hotel, Poonamallee High Road.

Hey.. That’s awesome, that its been advanced to Saturday…
I hate to sound like a jerk, but I can’t make it in the morning – have got my morning packed already.. I was looking for something around 4..
I will just keep track of the event, and see when I can make it..
I am glad though your decision was more out of a collective conscious – makes me feel less guilty..
Have a great time..
Ciao
