According to Wikipedia, "Photowalking is the act of walking with a camera for the main purpose of taking pictures of things that the photographer may find interesting. It is often a communal activity organised by camera clubs, online forums or commercial organisations, sometimes in the form of a walking tour. Often the aim is to practice and improve one's own photography skills rather than a specific focus on documentary photography."
For this challenge, do your own Photowalk, and you can even do more than one if you want. You can also invite friends or family along if you like ... maybe you can even get them to enter something in this challenge!
Just don't over-think this challenge. If you have time to go somewhere and take a walk around and shoot some photos ... that's great. But if you don't have the time (or inclination), just take some photos of people or things in or around your house, on your way to work (keep both hands on the steering wheel), or anywhere you happen to be. Shoot whatever catches your eye. Then enter your best three images in the challenge.
As for the Exhibition Gallery, you can enter something that you have shot in the past just because you found it interesting (that covers just about everything, doesn't it!) Or you can do another Photowalk for the Exhibition Gallery, if you want.
Again from Wikipedia: "Photowalking is differentiated (from street photography) by its impetus to photograph things of interest rather than people specifically." But, that doesn't mean you can't shoot people, too.
Photography guru Scott Kelby has promoted a Worldwide Photowalk for the past 7 years, with the latest held on Saturday, Oct. 11, 2014. For some inspiration, photos from that event can be seen at https://www.flickr.com/groups/wwpw2014.
Get walking, people! But, most important of all for this challenge is to take some photos and have fun!
