I had a great time at the photo walk last night. Thanks to everyone that came for a great turnout. And to anyone that got sick (4 of you), blew a tire, had their wife break an ankle, or couldn’t get away from the family, we will see you at the next one. As the messages came in yesterday it reminded me of one of my favorite movie scenes.

I enjoy shooting with all of these great photographers at the photo walks, but my favorite part always ends up being the drinks. I mean, the drinking company. After seeing all of your images online, I enjoy getting to know you guys a bit better.

At the bar last night, the general consensus was that we should be using our Google+ community to share images from the walk and to interact in the future. So join us at the Out Of Chicago Google+ Community. I invite you to share one to three images. If you would like to share more, put them together in an album and share the album. Or link to your work at your site. And while you’re at the community, introduce yourself to the group in the “Introduce Yourself” area and link to your sites there as well.

If you would like to submit any of your shots for the challenges last night, tag them with #OutOfChicagoBean or #OutOfChicagoHoliday and post them by Christmas Eve Night. I will feature some of my favorites on my site. If you have a shot that you took in the past that works for the theme, you may use it. Let us know in the comments that it was not from the walk.
