[/caption]I was asked recently to work with 10 boys to help them earn their photography merit badge. I've always looked up to the boy scout program, I received my Eagle on my 13th birthday and am grateful for that opportunity. After spending about 40 minutes with the scouts about the techniques of photography they chose a project and off they went. About a week later I caught up with two of the boys and found they hadn't worked on their project. I invited them to go on a photowalk with me to the Ogden Utah Union Station.
They had such a great time they are wanting to do another photowalk. My first photowalk was with Thomas Hawk in San Francisco. I really like getting out for photowalks, it's a great way to improve your skills and just have fun. I've included a few of my favorites from the walk, check out the full gallery here

How awesome is that! Instead of criticizing them for procrastinating, you shared the love and opened a door for them. Even if they never take another photo, what a great life lesson. It's amazing all the ways we can help people with photography, if we are willing.
Great stuff, man. Always nice to see the work of a peer. You should add buttons to the bottom of your posts to digg, stumble, etc your content.-Tom
