Google+ Venice Skate Park Photo Walk

Sep 9, 2011 08:09 PM

The Google+ Venice Skate Park photo walk was a lot of fun. We got to hang out with +Brian Rose, +Dave Cohen, +Vincent Mo, and many other Googlers and photographers, taking pictures, learning all about Venice and its colorful history.

A group of people gathered outdoors with one person holding a skateboard and a camera.

I admit to feeling a little bit intimidated by all the DSLRs around me. These photographers were very intense, and serious about getting their shots. I accidentally left my Canon point-and-shoot's battery at the office, so I ended up taking pictures with my Samsung Infuse smartphone camera. I have to say, I'm pretty pleased with most of the results.
