Mark Down Saturday, July 18th as MARTIN COX and SARA JANE BOYERS co-lead one of Scott Kelby's 2nd Annual Worldwide Photo Walks, taking 50 photographers through Echo Park and Angeleno Heights. Details at http://worldwidephotowalk.com/los-angeles-echo-park-ca-usa/.
Of course many of our LALOP photographers photographed Echo Park for our 2007 exhibition, WITHOUT A PADDLE. Along with others, many of them might attend to contribute their hints about photographing this historic area as well.
