What are Photo Walks?
Join retired photojournalist and Newcomers Club member Rob  for a monthly gathering of newcomers who love photography for a photo walk during which we will explore a variety of locations in and around New Bern.
Rob will point out good photo opportunities and help other members with technique and feedback when they request it. This activity is open to members with any type cameras (including cell phones.) Please email Rob at newbernphotowalk@gmail.com with any questions or suggestions for future walks or if you would like to be added to the Photo Walks mailing list.
This activity is a great way to see new places in your new community while meeting other newcomers. Currently there are no walks scheduled over the summer but if that changes we will announce it here and email everyone who has signed up. Look for our next regularly scheduled Photo Walk to take place in either late September 2024 or early October!
Look below to check out photos from some of our past walks during the 2023-24 Newcomers Year.
