sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p> <p><strong>You see, for me the photowalk is a wonderful opportunity to escape from most, if not all, of civilisation and retreat somewhere quiet.</strong></p> <p>Somewhere I don’t have to make conversation or interact, just slip into my own solitary, personal photographic flow.</p> <p><strong>If I was with other people, it wouldn’t offer that same quality of experience.</strong></p> <p>Their constant presence would prevent me from finding that silence and rhythm.</p> <p>I love to ramble at my own pace, which varies depending on my mood, the weather, the camera I’m using, and the variety of (or lack of) photographic opportunities.</p> <p><strong>If I was with other people, there’d be a compromise of this pace.</strong></p> <p>Someone might be too fast for me, I might be too slow for them, or vice versa. They might want to venture down one path, I might want to head off along the other.</p> <p><strong>Then, from what I’ve read, even worse, these kinds of photographers then go somewhere for a drink and chat afterwards, to discuss and compare their gear. </strong></p> <p>I’m not all that chatty in person, and greatly dislike pointless small talk. And I’ve done enough discussing and comparing of gear to last the rest of my life.</p> <p><strong>No thank you, these days, I just want to get out and enjoy the kit I have to its fullest.</strong></p> <p>On my own.</p> <p><strong>As you can tell, a group photowalk to me sounds like an absolutely terrible idea.</strong></p> <p>But perhaps that’s just me…</p> <p><strong>What about you?

I’m not into photography particularly, however I can relate to this on a ‘writing level’. I want to be alone. Isn’t that what Greta Garbo used to say? Well that’s me. I can be the social butterfly, the hostess extraordinaire and person who can be relied upon to keep conversation easy and flowing and guests happy …. and yet, it exhausts me, utterly and completely exhausts me. I need time then to ‘recover’ for want of a better word. When I am writing my book, I can’t do it with family members breathing down my neck, asking questions and wanting my attention. I need to escape from the house and be able to be surrounded by only my own thoughts. In truth, this is driving me mad at the moment. My husband is off work for a few weeks and I’ve lost my solitude. I should be delighted but my routine is lost, my writing has stopped and I’m feeling tetchy because of this. I’m not really into star signs, but he is very typical of a Leo; the big alpha male of the pride of lions and constantly demanding of attention. Crikey, sorry I’m having a rant. But yes, suffice to say I can completely understand your need for solitude whilst taking photographs. </p> </div> </article> <ol class="children"> <li id="comment-6090" class="comment byuser comment-author-iamdanjames bypostauthor odd alt depth-2"> <article id="div-comment-6090" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-metadata"> <span class="comment-author vcard"> <img alt='' src='https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=54&d=identicon&r=G' srcset='https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=54&d=identicon&r=G 1x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=81&d=identicon&r=G 1.5x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=108&d=identicon&r=G 2x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=162&d=identicon&r=G 3x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=216&d=identicon&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-54' height='54' width='54' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> <b class="fn"><a href="https://35hunter.wordpress.com" class="url" rel="ugc external nofollow">Dan James</a></b> </span> <a href="https://35hunter.blog/2018/12/15/group-photowalks-and-why-ive-never-taken-part/#comment-6090"> <time datetime="2018-12-15T16:28:07+00:00"> <span class="comment-date">December 15, 2018</span><span class="comment-time screen-reader-text">4:28 pm</span> </time> </a> <span class="reply"><a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://35hunter.blog/2018/12/15/group-photowalks-and-why-ive-never-taken-part/?replytocom=6090#respond" data-commentid="6090" data-postid="15963" data-belowelement="div-comment-6090" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to Dan James" aria-label="Reply to Dan James">Reply</a></span> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Yeh I know exactly what you mean Katie.

So it is nice to join a group just so I don’t feel like I am a crazy camera lady. Plus they often introduce me to new locations or themes I can try by myself another day.</p> </div> </article> <ol class="children"> <li id="comment-6091" class="comment byuser comment-author-iamdanjames bypostauthor odd alt depth-2"> <article id="div-comment-6091" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-metadata"> <span class="comment-author vcard"> <img alt='' src='https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=54&d=identicon&r=G' srcset='https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=54&d=identicon&r=G 1x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=81&d=identicon&r=G 1.5x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=108&d=identicon&r=G 2x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=162&d=identicon&r=G 3x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=216&d=identicon&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-54' height='54' width='54' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> <b class="fn"><a href="https://35hunter.wordpress.com" class="url" rel="ugc external nofollow">Dan James</a></b> </span> <a href="https://35hunter.blog/2018/12/15/group-photowalks-and-why-ive-never-taken-part/#comment-6091"> <time datetime="2018-12-15T16:29:39+00:00"> <span class="comment-date">December 15, 2018</span><span class="comment-time screen-reader-text">4:29 pm</span> </time> </a> <span class="reply"><a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://35hunter.blog/2018/12/15/group-photowalks-and-why-ive-never-taken-part/?replytocom=6091#respond" data-commentid="6091" data-postid="15963" data-belowelement="div-comment-6091" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to Dan James" aria-label="Reply to Dan James">Reply</a></span> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Ha, I think I’d quite like to be known as a crazy camera lady! </p> <p>Good points about themes and locations, but I’d just rather do the research and exploration for that for myself.

Photography is an escape for me as well 🙂 and especially if I’m having one of my “pain days” (I get quite bad lower back pain, sciatica, and arm/hand/wrist pain), the last thing I want to do is put up with other people. When I focus (pun intended) on an image, the pain briefly goes away.

I do not enjoy small talk either.</p> </div> </article> <ol class="children"> <li id="comment-6112" class="comment byuser comment-author-iamdanjames bypostauthor odd alt depth-2"> <article id="div-comment-6112" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-metadata"> <span class="comment-author vcard"> <img alt='' src='https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=54&d=identicon&r=G' srcset='https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=54&d=identicon&r=G 1x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=81&d=identicon&r=G 1.5x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=108&d=identicon&r=G 2x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=162&d=identicon&r=G 3x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=216&d=identicon&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-54' height='54' width='54' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> <b class="fn"><a href="https://35hunter.wordpress.com" class="url" rel="ugc external nofollow">Dan James</a></b> </span> <a href="https://35hunter.blog/2018/12/15/group-photowalks-and-why-ive-never-taken-part/#comment-6112"> <time datetime="2018-12-16T19:26:13+00:00"> <span class="comment-date">December 16, 2018</span><span class="comment-time screen-reader-text">7:26 pm</span> </time> </a> <span class="reply"><a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://35hunter.blog/2018/12/15/group-photowalks-and-why-ive-never-taken-part/?replytocom=6112#respond" data-commentid="6112" data-postid="15963" data-belowelement="div-comment-6112" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to Dan James" aria-label="Reply to Dan James">Reply</a></span> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Yes, I enjoy a deeper and more meaningful conversation, and appreciate that sometimes with someone new we have to start with small talk to get any deeper.

Even now I have vivid memories of the photos I took and many of them were of the people in the group doing their thing. so yes I would go on a photo walk with a select few others xoxo susanJOY</p> </div> </article> <ol class="children"> <li id="comment-6113" class="comment byuser comment-author-iamdanjames bypostauthor odd alt depth-2"> <article id="div-comment-6113" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-metadata"> <span class="comment-author vcard"> <img alt='' src='https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=54&d=identicon&r=G' srcset='https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=54&d=identicon&r=G 1x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=81&d=identicon&r=G 1.5x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=108&d=identicon&r=G 2x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=162&d=identicon&r=G 3x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=216&d=identicon&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-54' height='54' width='54' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> <b class="fn"><a href="https://35hunter.wordpress.com" class="url" rel="ugc external nofollow">Dan James</a></b> </span> <a href="https://35hunter.blog/2018/12/15/group-photowalks-and-why-ive-never-taken-part/#comment-6113"> <time datetime="2018-12-16T19:27:41+00:00"> <span class="comment-date">December 16, 2018</span><span class="comment-time screen-reader-text">7:27 pm</span> </time> </a> <span class="reply"><a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://35hunter.blog/2018/12/15/group-photowalks-and-why-ive-never-taken-part/?replytocom=6113#respond" data-commentid="6113" data-postid="15963" data-belowelement="div-comment-6113" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to Dan James" aria-label="Reply to Dan James">Reply</a></span> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Susan, thanks for that, sounds like it couldn’t have gone better! </p> <p>I expect there might be some groups I could join and enjoy them, but for now I’m too immersed in my solo walks to want to try it. </p> </div> </article> </li> </ol> </li> <li id="comment-6101" class="comment byuser comment-author-jerseydoug even thread-even depth-1 parent"> <article id="div-comment-6101" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-metadata"> <span class="comment-author vcard"> <img alt='' src='https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/ecf32077a74696a9072863b235f71c46b112ec59d4d1ff2e06d37a11bc01524b?s=54&d=identicon&r=G' srcset='https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/ecf32077a74696a9072863b235f71c46b112ec59d4d1ff2e06d37a11bc01524b?s=54&d=identicon&r=G 1x, https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/ecf32077a74696a9072863b235f71c46b112ec59d4d1ff2e06d37a11bc01524b?s=81&d=identicon&r=G 1.5x, https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/ecf32077a74696a9072863b235f71c46b112ec59d4d1ff2e06d37a11bc01524b?s=108&d=identicon&r=G 2x, https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/ecf32077a74696a9072863b235f71c46b112ec59d4d1ff2e06d37a11bc01524b?s=162&d=identicon&r=G 3x, https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/ecf32077a74696a9072863b235f71c46b112ec59d4d1ff2e06d37a11bc01524b?s=216&d=identicon&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-54' height='54' width='54' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> <b class="fn"><a href="http://merefilmphoto.com" class="url" rel="ugc external nofollow">Doug Anderson</a></b> </span> <a href="https://35hunter.blog/2018/12/15/group-photowalks-and-why-ive-never-taken-part/#comment-6101"> <time datetime="2018-12-16T02:10:48+00:00"> <span class="comment-date">December 16, 2018</span><span class="comment-time screen-reader-text">2:10 am</span> </time> </a> <span class="reply"><a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://35hunter.blog/2018/12/15/group-photowalks-and-why-ive-never-taken-part/?replytocom=6101#respond" data-commentid="6101" data-postid="15963" data-belowelement="div-comment-6101" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to Doug Anderson" aria-label="Reply to Doug Anderson">Reply</a></span> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>I went on just one group photowalk, years ago in Central Park in NYC.

With that there is very limited joy to be found dancing alone, however much one might enjoy the music. The partnership, and how two of you plus the music and the motion can transcend the sum of its parts, is essential. </p> <p>We were also involved in rueda, which is multiple couples dancing in a circle and continuously swapping partners. Learning to not only dance rueda, but to be able to call it to (ie lead and call out the moves) was a whole other kind of experience and pleasure, and at its peak, could transcend even the best couple dance, for me. </p> <p>So strangely this was an act where you’re creating and sharing simultaneously, to the others you’re dancing with, and anyone watching. </p> <p>And with salsa, for me the music didn’t mean much on its own, it was almost entirely just a vehicle for us to travel upon, or a stage to dance upon, the real joy came from the act of dancing itself. </p> </div> </article> <ol class="children"> <li id="comment-6130" class="comment odd alt depth-3 parent"> <article id="div-comment-6130" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-metadata"> <span class="comment-author vcard"> <img alt='' src='https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/428a5a9f98531e06ba91b4fce72fdd149db81b585217f9cfe0713a36d2d9fb81?s=54&d=identicon&r=G' srcset='https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/428a5a9f98531e06ba91b4fce72fdd149db81b585217f9cfe0713a36d2d9fb81?s=54&d=identicon&r=G 1x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/428a5a9f98531e06ba91b4fce72fdd149db81b585217f9cfe0713a36d2d9fb81?s=81&d=identicon&r=G 1.5x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/428a5a9f98531e06ba91b4fce72fdd149db81b585217f9cfe0713a36d2d9fb81?s=108&d=identicon&r=G 2x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/428a5a9f98531e06ba91b4fce72fdd149db81b585217f9cfe0713a36d2d9fb81?s=162&d=identicon&r=G 3x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/428a5a9f98531e06ba91b4fce72fdd149db81b585217f9cfe0713a36d2d9fb81?s=216&d=identicon&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-54' height='54' width='54' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> <b class="fn">William</b> </span> <a href="https://35hunter.blog/2018/12/15/group-photowalks-and-why-ive-never-taken-part/#comment-6130"> <time datetime="2018-12-17T15:11:25+00:00"> <span class="comment-date">December 17, 2018</span><span class="comment-time screen-reader-text">3:11 pm</span> </time> </a> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Oh, yeah.

My most rewarding photographic moments tend to be when I’m on my own – those fleeting feelings when you’re in the zone, and just blending with the scene. But I would miss the company if I never went on group photowalks. They push me out of my comfort zone, which spurs me to take my photography in new directions.</p> <p>My most recent photowalk was extremely rewarding. Very mixed abilities, I found myself able to mentor some of the beginners, and I certainly learned from the most experienced photographers. And I took one of my best photos of the year. I’d never have been in a position to take that particular shot if I hadn’t been out with a group of people.</p> <p>But at the end of the photowalk, I enjoyed sitting in a coffee shop by myself, reviewing the photos on my camera screen.</p> </div> </article> <ol class="children"> <li id="comment-6238" class="comment byuser comment-author-iamdanjames bypostauthor odd alt depth-2"> <article id="div-comment-6238" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-metadata"> <span class="comment-author vcard"> <img alt='' src='https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=54&d=identicon&r=G' srcset='https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=54&d=identicon&r=G 1x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=81&d=identicon&r=G 1.5x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=108&d=identicon&r=G 2x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=162&d=identicon&r=G 3x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/779eefd8d222a3bbe39d4b72f160489197652af04f2432f261d5dd2f03880f65?s=216&d=identicon&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-54' height='54' width='54' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> <b class="fn"><a href="https://35hunter.wordpress.com" class="url" rel="ugc external nofollow">Dan James</a></b> </span> <a href="https://35hunter.blog/2018/12/15/group-photowalks-and-why-ive-never-taken-part/#comment-6238"> <time datetime="2018-12-28T22:29:48+00:00"> <span class="comment-date">December 28, 2018</span><span class="comment-time screen-reader-text">10:29 pm</span> </time> </a> <span class="reply"><a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://35hunter.blog/2018/12/15/group-photowalks-and-why-ive-never-taken-part/?replytocom=6238#respond" data-commentid="6238" data-postid="15963" data-belowelement="div-comment-6238" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to Dan James" aria-label="Reply to Dan James">Reply</a></span> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Alex this is an excellent example in a few paragraphs of the benefits of shooting in a group, and alone.</p> <p>Whilst I completely understand the benefits you talk about, somehow for me they are outweighed by the compromises I feel I would be making by not being on my own.
