NEW PROJECT - FREE PHOTO GUIDES
Washington Park Arboretum, Seattle, WA
I wanted to let everyone know about a new project I’ve become part of that aims to build a community database of photography guides for locations around the world. Free Photo Guides was organized and put together by Brent Pearson from Australia. He’s put in a lot of work on it already and still seems to have time to produce some amazing photography!
I’m sure many of you have used sites like Trip Advisor and have benefited from people posting their own travel experiences to different locations. This is the same concept but targeted at photographers. Photographers with intimate knowledge of an area are invited to contribute guides to the project and if you’re up for up to it you can volunteer to become and administrator for your state or region. Remember, it’s a community run project so it’s all free and the more people that contribute to it the better it will be.
The USA site recently launched and I am the administrator for the Washington and Oregon sites. I posted the first guide for Washington which covers the Washington Park Arboretum and Foster Island in Seattle.
The contributors guide is available on the project home page so if you’re ready to contribute - it takes about an hour to put a guide together and it’s actually really fun - please download the guide and get started.
Feel free to email me at brianechapman@gmail.com or use the contact form if you’ve got any questions about how to contribute or if you want to become an administrator for your state.
I know there are a lot of great photographers in Washington and Oregon so hopefully we can get some guides up quickly!
