Had the pleasure of attending the Bunbury / Setagaya sister cities photographic comp night last night and got to meet some very interesting people including a japanese doctor who had been over in Japan helping with the disaster that happened not that long ago, it was very deep and saddening to hear of what has been going on there, and still goes on there to this day. I was able to check out a lot of very cool images as well, both from here and Japan. There was two categories for the comp, one being the "Student" category and the other, the "Open" category. Third and second place went to one photographer, we all thought he had taken out all three prizes/places, but I was very taken back when they announced first place, to which my name was mentioned! . Felt like I was dreaming and all seemed very surreal!, I couldn't believe I had taken out 1st place with this above image , all three judges were very impressed with the photo and came and spoke to me after i had my pic taken for the local paper. First place saw me walk away with a nice cheque for $1000!, humbled, I was .
