Leesburg, VA (September 21, 2011) – On Saturday, October 1, 2011, local photographer David

participants will gather at Fireworks Pizza (201 Harrison Street SE, in Market Station) to share

The Leesburg photo walk is part of the 4th Annual Worldwide Photo Walk, organized by Scott
Kelby, president of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals. This year, the
Worldwide Photo Walk will take place on October 1-2, 2011 at over 1,000 locations around the
globe. Last year, more than 30,000 photographers participated in the 3rd Annual Worldwide
Photo Walk and took an estimated 6 million images. For more information about the
Worldwide Photo Walk, please visit www.worldwidephotowalk.com.
This year is the second time that David Crooks has led a downtown Leesburg photo walk as part
of the annual worldwide event.
“A photo walk is great way for photographers to meet other photographers in an informal
setting, and share our work with each other,” explained Crooks. “We had about 45 photo-
graphers participate in last year’s downtown Leesburg photo walk. The feedback from that
event was so positive; I am really looking forward to this year’s walk. It should be great fun.”
