On June 20 I held the first Fort Smith Photowalk and had about 25 photographers show up for a fun day of shooting in historic downtown Fort Smith Arkansas. Bedford Camera and Video in Fort Smith was kind enough to sponsor prizes for the event.
One of the interesting things to come from a Photowalk is to be able to see what other photographers found to photograph on the same route. All participants were encouraged to upload photos from the day to the Flicker Group set up for the event.

As the organizer and leader of the Photo Walk one of my responsibilities is to judge the entries and pick 3 of the best photos as the winners. This is the hardest part of the entire event, there were many great photos submitted and I had to choose.
And the winners are:
Prizes:
1st place $50.00 Bedford’s Gift Certificate
Theresa Anderson
2nd place $30.00 Bedford’s Gift Certificate
Debbie Mathews
3rd place $20.00 Bedford’s Gift Certificate
Jerry Houston
Great Places for Great Photos
Let me help you to find a great location for your next photography adventure. I will list many lesser-known destinations, as well as the famous "Icon Locations" for photography. I will provide photos (Lots of Photos), location information, consisting of what there is to photograph as well as other information about the destination. I will give costs, maps, directions, contact information, and other essential information for a successful photo trip. I will only post for locations that I have personally photographed to ensure a quality guide to great locations for photography. If you know of great places that are not posted, please send me the details, I may just decide that is a place I need to go!
Greg Disch is a freelance photographer located in Arkansas. Greg specializes in nature, scenic, wildlife, and other outdoor subjects in Arkansas and other areas of the country. Most of the images on this site are available for sale as prints, personal use, or rights managed stock photos.
Greg offers both classroom instruction and in the field hands on photographic workshops. Classroom sessions are normally held in Fort Smith Arkansas, but arrangements can be made to bring a class to your group.
All classes and workshops have small class sizes designed to provide an optimum student to instructor ratio, where you can get the personal attention, you need. Most classes and workshops are limited to a maximum of six participants and will be held with a minimum of only two.
If you are looking for a wonderful opportunity to get personal individual instruction, I do private workshops and classes at a location of your choice, whether doing a location photo shoot, coming to your home or business, traveling across the country on a road trip, or at my classroom. This is a fantastic way to learn digital workflow and be sure that your computer equipment is properly configured for optimum performance.
