Photowalk RSVP
Join Tyler and other Calgary photographers for a casual street photowalk through downtown Calgary. Open to photographers of all skill and experience levels. The exact date, time, and meeting place will be communicated to RSVP’d participants a week before the walk, to best account for weather and light.
This is guided/lead photowalk: an opportunity to rub elbows with other photographers interested in street photography in Calgary, to ask questions, and to make some street photographs with the support of the group. Please read on for information about the expected code of conduct for this walk, as well as more information about participation.
Code of Conduct:
RSVPing for this walk / participation in this walk implies agreement with the following code of conduct - those whose behaviour on the walk is not deemed to be in congruence with this code of conduct will respectfully be asked to leave the group and will not be welcome back at future photowalks. If you wish to adhere to your own artistic/ethical principles that do not align with this code of conduct, please do not RSVP, as they are in place for the enjoyment of a diverse group of potential participants - you are welcome to do as you please on your own photowalk.
Respect must be shown to all participants as well as passersby we encounter on the streets at all times. No prejudice of any kind, towards participants or passersby, will be tolerated. No unwanted comments, criticisms, or advances will be tolerated. Please err on the side of caution when it comes to the comfort of other participants and passersby.
2. We will not photograph any one who appears unhoused, in distress, having a bad time, or who appears or communicates being unhappy about potentially being photographed. Please err on the side of caution.
3. In the unlikely scenario that there is conflict between participants or between participants and passersby, the walk host/leader will work to de-escalate and resolve the issue. If conflict arises, please grab the host/leader immediately. If the host/leader asks you to leave, please do so - the comfort and security of the group will be the highest priority at all times on the walk.
Acceptance of Risk:
RSVPing for this walk / participation in this walk implies an acceptance of risk inherent to any photowalk in a busy urban centre. While efforts will be made to ensure a safe and respectful environment, ultimately participants fully (through their participation) accept responsibility for their own safety and security whilst participating in the walk and while in-transit to and from the walk. Participants (through their participation) agree to hold the host, leader, and organizer completely free from any and all legal responsibilities and indemnities in the case of participant injury, offence, or death. The participant is wholly and solely responsible for their conduct and behaviour while participating in this walk and agrees to hold the host, leader, and organizer completely free from responsibility should their actions contravene laws and/or should they face legal repercussions for their actions on the walk.
