The Madras Week Photowalks – Updates
Since my previous post, and in the last week, a few things have happened. Changes for the better. The Chennai Corporation/Ripon Buildings have agreed to let us do a photowalk in the building, and so have Southern Railways and Central station. Also, the Freemasons have given us the go-ahead to do a walk inside the 1925-built Freemason’s hall.
Which means, I have to slicha change plans. Here is the revised schedule.
1) Ripon Building + Victoria Hall + Central + Southern Railway HQ, Saturday August 22, 2009, between 7 AM and 11:30 AM. Come prepared to take loads of photos, and come with water, and possible a mask/large kerchief to cover face with – the Central Station is especially crowded, and potential carriers of the disease will be around.
2) Mint street + Armenian street, Saturday, August 22, 2009 between 3:30 PM and 6 PM (tentative). Meeting point: Jain Temple, Minit Street.
3) Freemason’s Hall, Egmore on Sunday, August 23, 2009 between 4:30 PM and 6 PM
The previously scheduled Markets of Yore walk will be pushed to a different weekend for intelligent/informed people tell me that the markets are rather desolate in the evenings.
Please take note of changed schedule, and come to walks.

Looks like I will miss out on the Mint Street walk… yet again. Why on a Saturday?! Will make it to the other 2. Now to go and find a new memory card. 2GB card I have can take only 128 pics, and the 1st walk definitely begs for more!
