it's sad, but the fact is canon photo marathon is not a "street photography" competition,
it's a competition that allowed people to do anything to get answer for the theme, and get good photo in 3 hours time ( or more
)
so can't blame in how people do it, because there is no rules for no posed shot from the first place..
Last week was my 3rd photo marathon, i still enjoyed it, gather with old friends, fooling around while shooting, laughing hard while seeing the slideshow, practically having fun for a whoile day... and i will still looking forward to join the 2009 one
i've submitted 10 photos for canon photo marathon ( 4 at 2006, 3 at 2007, 3 at 2008 ) i can say half of my shot are posed, but my personal favourite is still the unposed one, the 2007 "playtime" ( and as we can guess, i didn't win anything with this photo lol )
random useless thought ( don't read it with serious mind lol )
"it's hard to be a so called "street photographer", normal people see they said it's random shot, submit salon kena reject, send to photo competition cannot win, then got event that we thought an event for street photographer, still lost by studio shot, aiyo.. next time wake morning take sunrise photoshop the sky until pink color, then can already lah"
