This event is CANCELED due to inclement weather. Love taking pictures? Want to explore San Francisco at a relaxed pace? Join AASCEND for its first photo walk! This will be on October 25, NOT our usual 3rd Saturday of the month. We’re organizing an easy social walk from the Ferry Building to China Basin Park, and we’d love to have you join us. We’ll meet at 10am directly in front of the Ferry Building clock tower on the street side. (See map below.) We encourage you to take public transportation, but if you insist there is expensive parking nearby. Check your GPS for it.
Whether you’re an amateur with a smartphone camera or you’ve got your fancy DSLR slung around your neck, everyone’s welcome here—this is all about having fun and capturing the beauty of the Bay in the warm company of the AASCEND community.

Here are the details: We’ll stroll together at a leisurely pace, stopping whenever something catches your eye. That stunning waterfront view? Light hitting the buildings just right? A cute detail on a bridge? Stop, snap, and share the moment with the group. No pressure, no judgment—just good company and great photo ops. Once we reach China Basin Park, or perhaps sooner, we’ll kick back and enjoy the views together. We encourage you to bring a lunch and relax in this beautiful spot with fellow walkers and photographers.
What to bring:
- Your camera (phone, tablet, or camera—whatever you’ve got!)
- Comfortable walking shoes and clothing for SF weather
- A lunch or snacks to enjoy at the park
- Your smile and enthusiasm!
This is an easy walk with plenty of opportunities to pause and appreciate the scenery. Whether you’re looking to level up your photography skills or just spend time with like-minded folks exploring the city, we can’t wait to see you there. It’s okay if you just want to walk, and just let us know if you don’t want to be photographed.

Who: Adults on the spectrum, family, professionals and friends all welcome!
