#Walkingtoworktoday Project
#Walkingtowork today is an ongoing photo documentation project open to anyone.
The guidelines are pretty simple.
1.Take an image while walking to work.
2. Post that image to flickr and tag the image with walkingtoworktoday (all one word).
3. Tweet the title of the image with the hash tag #walkingtoworktoday along with a link to the image on flickr.
But wait, you don't think you walk to work? You have to walk to your car to drive, or walk from your mode of transportation to the front door of where you work—so it is possible to make the stroll interesting for yourself. For more info on the idea visit the #walkingtoworktoday page
You can also view the aggregated collection at walkingtoworktoday.designnotes.info/ from contributors around the world.
