Four Venues in South Korea During the 2013 Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk

Saturday, 5 October 2013, is the date for the 2013 Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk.

Last year there were three separate photo walks in South Korea; however, at the time of this posting there are four walks scheduled for this year.  Two new comers to this international event will be hosting walks in Seoul,  while two returning veterans will again host their walks in different cities in the southern part of the country.

There is still plenty of time to join the walks, but a photographer must register to participate and to receive the perks and prizes offered this year.  Here is a list of the walk leaders and their locations:

1)  Zelri Coetzee is new to the Scott Kelby photo walk scene in Korea.  She will be leading her walk in Seoul.  To contact Zelri and to register for her walk, visit the photo walk site here.

2)  Another new comer is Matthew Theron, and he also will be leading a walk in Seoul.  To register for his walk, click on the link here.

3)  As he did in 2012, Joe Wabe will be leading a walk in Gwangju in Jeollanam-do.  Sign up for his event here.

4)  Also returning to lead a walk is Jason Teale.  His event will be held in Ulsan.  Walk with Jason by registering here.

Good luck to the walk leaders and to the participants!

Edit:  Joe Wabe has published the first issue of PIK (Photographers in Korea).  He was kind enough to include the above article about the photo walk on the opening pages of this wonderful magazine.  Take a look at PIK here.

Three Venues in South Korea During the 2012 Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk

October 13th, 2012 is when Scott Kelby's 5th annual worldwide photo walk will be held.  Mr. Kelby has put the worldwide web to excellent use by working hard to make this event a truly global event.  

Photographers in South Korea are getting involved in this event, too.  According to the Scott Kelby website, there are expected to be three different photo walks in South Korea on Saturday, October 13th.  All three walks will be led by foreign residents in South Korea.  Though I conducted a search using the Korean language, no results appeared that would indicate any photo walks being led by Korean citizens at this time.  If any of my readers know differently, please contact me so that I can spread the word.

First, Ilze Louw is leading a walk in Seoul.  See some of here photography on her photo blog here.  The information Ilze provides on her photo walk page states that her walk will begin at 9:45 a.m. in 탑골공원.  Those who wish to join Ilze Louw's photo walk, and to learn more details about it, can visit her walk page here.

Second, Jason Teale is leading his photo walk in Ulsan.  This past August 2012, I featured Jason and his amazing work in an article on this blog that can be read here.  Those who wish to participate in Jason's walk can sign-up on his walk page here.

Third, Joe Wabe is leading his first photo walk in Gwangju-si, Jeollanam-do, South Korea.  He invited me to be a jurist at his event.  Joe Wabe is the founder of Art Elemento, which is an art magazine based in Gwangju.  His photography is very well done.  In fact, just yesterday afternoon I sat with Joe, his delightful and talented daughter, and another friend at his booth at the art auction held on the art walk in Gwangju where he sold 20 of his photographs.  Those who wish to participate in Joe's photo walk can learn more information here.
