Jordan Bontke, a reporter/anchor for Phoenix’s ABC15, asked me a series of questions in a recent interview that I couldn’t answer off the cuff. Best place I’ve ever been to? Best small town? Best ice cream? Etc.
I was a little flustered, but as he wasn’t the only person who’s asked about the best place ever, so I decided to take his questions and add to them with other categories as well for a Photowalks episode.
The results: the first edition of the “Walkies” awards, based on the 120 locations we’ve covered so far for Photowalks, the best of the best.
