Canon Photomarathon 2008 Malaysia, photography + slightly marathon.

Organized by Canon. Participants need to submit 3 photos of each themes at the end of the event.

The themes for this year were,

1) Indulge Metropolitan
2) Mess in Rules
3) Goes in Green

my entries,

1)

Indulge, the guy is enjoying taking a photo of a car that is shown on the main entrance of the complex.
That’s the best i can get from this theme.

2)

Rules, they are actually few rules set inside the photo,

i) Red shirts vs 1 small blue shirt child
ii) Red shirts photographers, blue shirt child is the subject

the messiness, one of the red shirt lying down and the subject wonder what happened, the others red shirts were laughing.

however, from the winning photo, looks like i got the them interpreted completed different, which i lol’ed.

3)

My blood is green and my hand grows a vegetable,
that’s it goes green. lol.

seriously, it is way too subjective.. but after looking at the winning photos of these 3 themes, i still lol’ed.

Of course i will update with the Winning Photos selected by the judges. You guys will be the judges then.

Will join again next year ??

Of course, but i will just get a point and shoot canon camera and grab the freebies.. then go back home blow air-cond.
