Lovely post, it's true, I've gained a lot and learned a lot by going on photo-walks with a few strangers! Curious what groups you have joined for London photo walks? Love that shot of the clouds in sky & glass :)
I’ve been to the disorganized photowalk, that was very chilled and I talked a lot with many interesting humans. I went to one organized Vintage Camera Hut that was also nice (a lot of people, I talked less this time) and my very first one was with Lomography!
Great piece and awesome photos, my friend. My additional advice that I find works for me when I start to catastrophise is ask what could go right? And make a list of all the good things that could come from something and 9 times out of 10 it will outweigh the bad. The bad typically are things that would never happen in the real world haha.
I've organized and lead probably well over 300 photo walks and rock climbing meetups in the last 5-10 years. Everyone has been a different opportunity to learn, engage and make friends. It's been amazing, and I don't consider myself particulary extroverted, but the truth of these events from what I've seen is most participants are there to LEARN ABOUT YOU AND WHAT YOU DO - too. they are curious, they want connection - otherwise, they'd be those loner youtubers that always talk about loving and being alone.
