Okay, everyone! So here’s the deal: it’s just been way too nice not to meet, even if it is close to Christmas. So we’re doing a west-side, beachy, late-afternoon-to-sunset photo walk and subsequent meetup at a fairly new spot we haven’t hit up yet: The Dude’s Brewing Company.

Meet us first this Saturday the 22nd at Bluestone Lane in Santa Monica at 2:30 PM for coffee (park for free in the neighborhood a block away). Then, walk around with us through Third Street Promenade, Ocean Ave., the beach, and the Santa Monica Pier if we have time before heading to The Dude’s Brewing Company’s Santa Monica location around 5-5:30 PM for what we do best: taking photos of beer (*cough* *cough*). The 8 PM ending is a soft ending. Stay as long as you want! No one is closing until quite a bit later.

Brings some film or some cleared off memory cards and shoot something awesome before your family photo extravaganzas steal your camera’s attention away. See you there.
