The twentieth Chennai Photowalk and two more announcements
I know this is extremely short notice but this Sunday, the 19th July, is the 20th Chennai Photowalk. I’ve had a lot of things to catch up with, finish or otherwise deal with that I haven’t really planned a cool route or anything. Well, not a new one at least. the 5th Chennai Photowalk is a classic walk. Not just because I say so but because it was one of the first walks that saw 20+ people, a lot of fun and the first time on a photowalk I was flat on the ground in the middle of traffic.
So, here’s the plan.
On Sunday, at 7 AM, we begin the walk at Egmore station, walk down the road, meet Pantheon Road near the Albert Theatre junction, go past the Police Commissioner’s office, into the thick of Pantheon road, and end the walk at the Musuem and the Art Gallery (which is the Pantheon that gave its name to the road).
The route’s peppered with interesting buildings, great history and loads of photo-ops.
And yes, there are poor, homeless people living on the streets, but hey, you don’t have to photograph them. Not if you want to.
(There, sensitisation over)
Recap: Sunday, 19th July 2009 at 7:AM, Egmore Station.
So here are two more announcements.
August 16 to 23rd, 2009 is Madras Week. Like last year, it promises loads of interesting, fun events. I have quite a few photowalk ideas in mind. One of which is a walk inside the Chennai Port.
But, as you can imagine, the port is a highly sensitive area and has many defense and critical installations. Which means, I need to get sufficient permission from the Chennai Port Trust to conduct the walk inside. Additionally, I need to acquire passes for all walkers at-least 2 weeks before the walk. If you can mail me at chandrachoodan@gmail.com confirming you will attend the Port photowalk, I can make the necessary arrangements.

Congrats bro,

Congratulations on the M.A. Acceptance.
Will certainly try to be at the photowalk. (yes, I know that I’ve been saying this only for the last 15 or more walks, but now the possibility is greater… I have to be in egmore this sunday, anyway… so it fits in perfectly)
Nice to hear about the port walk possibility. Do count me in. It’s been a good 15 years or more since I’ve last been to the RMYC in the port, and it will be nice to walk down the coal-black quays.
Note to anyone thinking of attending the port photowalk: DO NOT WEAR WHITE.

Congrats and all the very best for your studies. Guess you are taking it full-time and so, it’s a year-long break for Chennai Photowalk?
Too bad, am already an absentee. But I will be present at the port; anyday on August.

I don’t know the concept of Photowalk…Is that a gathering of people with cameras that they go around and shoot photos?
