Stay outdoors for the entire day

A fun challenge for you:

Don’t spend any time inside your home today.

Only go inside public places like coffee shops, malls, shops, etc. But from sunrise until sunset, stay outside. Bring your camera, iPad, or a book if you want to do creative work, reading, and bring along anything you need to NOT go back home. Use public restrooms and water fountains. Stay in the zone of making photos and enjoying the walk for the entirety of the day. This to me, is bliss- being in a constant state of movement, production, and walking endlessly. I walk to become more.

If you have a beach, river, lake, park or trail nearby, spend at least 1-2 hours walking the path during sunrise or sunset. Find balance between nature and the urban chaos of city life. Philadelphia is street photography paradise because it is the most walkable city in the country. Not only do we have the gritty, urban life in center city, but we have a variety of neighborhoods and parks just waiting to become explored only a short walk away.

Also, bring a way to document video along your walk like a GoPro, 360 camera, or iPhone. One of my favorite ways to create these days has been recording random videos throughout my walks, weather I film something I see on the street, make a video podcast, or simply document a walk through a park or places I frequent like the Fairmount Waterworks.
