Wow, I never thought of that but I could totally see it happening.

By TPMG you are referring to the Toronto Paparazzi Meet-up Group and not this TPMG group… Right? :lol:


They are not the same? :).

In all honesty, a lot of the zombies do love having their photos taken and they have given me some great photos. But some are camera shy or annoyed with the paparazzi and it is always polite to ask first, even if it's just with a smile and a gesture with the camera before you shove it in someone's face. Ppl who don't want their pictures taken will turn away, those who do will usually give a nod or small smile.


I think the clear solution is to dress up as a zombie yourself, that way you blend in and they dont notice!

Ok zombie freaks,

I'm thinking we should pick a spot to shoot from, that will hopefully give us some nice opportunities. Because in the past there have been other photography groups watching our forum and copying our events/locations I will be keeping our actual shoot location secret (oh the suspense!!!). I will pick a nearby coffee place for us to meet and we'll head over to my chosen location at that time. Stay tuned for the meet up point and time.

Jordan

Good idea ... I guess we can wonder around on our own as well. Waiting for the location!

Most people want their pictures taken, just use common sense and don't crowd people or other photographers. On the other hand, some zombies can get a little aggressive. Don't get tackled. That fake blood can be nasty right Ions?

Where am I to find even details? My family wants to meet me at some point but I want to make sure I connect with all of you and spend some time together before I have to move on.

Ah okay ... went and checked thanks! So you're all assembling right before the walk. Hmmm that means I may not be able to go with you because of the family. Can't ditch them or it will cause no end of issues for the rest of my life haha. Will see what happens.

Slight change in meeting time!!!!

We will now meet at 1:30 (well that's the leave time - so be there earlier) at Tim's and then head over to Nathan Phillips Square to photogaph the zombies as they organize and warm up. We will then head over to my designated shoot area (location to be provided at Tim's) at about 2:30pm to setup and get ready for the zombies.

So what happens in the pouring rain? Do you reschedule or keep going? Pretty hard to have a zombie walk with everyone's make up coming off. My first so I'm curious.

Zombies know not of rain, the walk on. It makes for moody shots. Take care of your gears and have fun. Über jealous. So jealous that its half German apparently.

Hey guys! I'm probably not gonna make it for the beginning of the event, but I'd like to still catch up with you guys. I know I had a few numbers of people on the forum but my phone broke so I lost those. Could someone please inbox me their number so that I can meet up with the mob? :)

Thank you Jordan for taking over. I'm super jealous I missed it.

If people enjoyed this event the Hamilton zombie walk is coming soon. It should be an interesting comparison and fun to do.

Thanks to all who came out. For this of you who came down, but could not connect with us I hope you still had a great shoot. Lots of zombies and photo ops where to be had. I was amazed at the quality of some of the outfits many zombies had. If I wasn't going to be out of the province I would definitely hit up the Hamilton walk as well.

I'm so jealous I missed this one but priorities and all that. Jealousy aside I'm looking forward to becoming more jealous with the shots you guys post.

I see the back eyed chick returned. Did she play it up well this year? She was great at the 2010 Walk. I can't decide which blood treatment around her mouth I like better... Good stuff. Hopefully she shows up in Hamilton next week.

Thanks Jordan for the organization. My first outing with TPMG and although I lost track of guys with the start of procession but I enjoyed it thoroughly. Hope to join for more and will post pics soon.
And loved your flickr album Jordan. looking for more from others.

I did make it but could not find anyone at the beginning. I did run into Yeshwanth for a bit and then lost him again too. Thank you for organizing, Jordon, I'll catch up with you at another event! :P

I kind of "crashed the party" and met up with Yeshwanth and a few others. Had a blast. Enjoyed some brains.
