Just a reminder of the KWPC & Scott Kelby World Wide Photo Walk at the Ismaili Center

What: The Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk

Where: At The Ismaili Center

When: Saturday, October 3rd

Time: meet up at 7am at the church, head home after lunch at the Tapestry Cafe on premises.

Every year since 2008 on the first Saturday in October the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk has taken place. It's a call out for all photographers from beginners to pros to get out and meet up for a photo walk somewhere in their city.

This year I will lead a walk in and around The Ismaili Center which is part of a distinguished network of Ismaili Centers around the world, each offering a place for spiritual reflection, cultural exchange, and public dialogue.

Surrounded by expansive green spaces, the five-story tripartite structure integrates Islamic design influences with contemporary architectural technology. Three volumes are connected elevated verandas rooted in Persian architectural tradition. Mashrabiya inspired concrete screens in the atrium and walls crafted like tapestry in stone offer modern reinterpretations of Persian and Islamic architectural traditions, reduce artificial lighting, and reinforce a sense of openness and fluidity.

We will meet up at Kingwood First Baptist Church to carpool down to the center near Montrose and Allen Parkway. The center opens at 8 am so our goal is to be there a bit before they open to have good light and avoid crowds as much as possible. We will meet outside at the south side of the property at the reflecting pool to photograph the pool, building and gardens and then work around the center to the north side views. From there, we will move indoors to capture the beautiful interior with geometric designs, vaulted ceilings and gathering spaces and atriums.

If all goes as planned we can meet at the Tapestry Cafe for some refreshments, they serve snacks, as well as tempting breakfast and lunch items

Please RSVP so we know who will be attending and let us know if you will meet up at the location if that is easier for you than the church.
