Worldwide Photowalk Winners Announced

Wow its been a while since I’ve posted. I’ve been afflicted with summer laziness, I can’t seem to get myself to do anything. In any case here you can find the ten finalists and the grand prize winner of this year’s worldwide photowalk. The winning photo was taken in Amphawa – Thailand and is magnificient. I noted it when I was going over the (>1000) many photos submitted for final judgement.

I do think the winning image I selected for our walk in Tel-Aviv is a very interesting portrait with a lot of emotion. I think the softness of the photo and the blurriness around the edges enhances it quite nicely.

Worldwide Photowalk Results

Well, its been a hectic week! On Saturday I led my first photographers group ever, under the umbrella of Scott Kelby’s 2nd Annual Worldwide Photowalk. Then from Sunday to Tuesday I taught a pretty intense course of OpenGL shading language for a company called VizRT. But lets focus on the photowalk shall we? I think it was a success, over 30 people turned up, and although only about 15 survived to the end, they were all really nice people. I enjoyed taking photos but more than that, meeting new people and talking about photography was really nice. It was insanely hot of course (Tel-Aviv in July), and we finished the day feeling like depleted zombies.
In any case here is a Flickr group containing photos from Saturday, some really good shots I think

Tel-aviv Marathon 2009

My legs are so sore. Ouch. As you can surmise from the title, I ran in the Tel-aviv marathon this morning. I only did the 10k run, but it sounds better if I omit that tiny little fact and just say ‘Marathon’, doesn’t it?

Fellow runners included Tomer, Eitan, LiorG, Oshri, Udi&Guy and about a bazillion other people whom I don’t know. At the starting line right next to me though, was this girl in very fashionable running clothes, with full make-up and earrings, weirder and weirder…
