PDN's 30 and Sony World Photography Awards
i'm so slow and lazy...at least when it comes to putting new awards and nominations online.
additional to that is my little son vasco keeping me quite busy and i just love to be distracted by him.
dragged away from this mac and writing millions of emails, trying to build contacts and some kind of career which future-direction i currently just can't see.
i feel more like a photonerd, unable to climb out of the photographic box, with all my concentration, time and energy going into this passion.
don't get me wrong, i LOVE photography, but it's definetly a time- and energy-sucking profession
in which it is very hard to earn your money and keep your friendships outside the photographic world alive...
especially the latter one can be a source of big frustration...
another story...
just recently, due to a storm over germany, my train was late about two hours and while most people around me were pretty pissed,
i was happy as i finally found the time to continue reading a book from Ryszard Kapuściński,
a polish journalist who spent a lot of his time in africa and latinamerica and always carried a book from the ancient greek author herodot with him.
it's an interesating read, recommended ;-)
anyways, for those of you who are still reading this lines, i just wanted to leave a note that i'm happy (really!) to announce i'm again shortlisted for the
Sony World Photography Awards in the Contemporary Issues Section
as well as being one of the PDN Emerging 30's.
Concerning the Sony Awards i'm still woindering if i've entered the right category, as marcus bleasdale's story about kashmir is in the "current affairs" section. i don't get the difference between "current affairs" and "contemporary issues"...is "current affairs" more newsy than "contemporary issues" ?
it nearly one o clock now, vasco will wak me up in five hours, so cheers and hope to see some of you at the
Lumix Festival in Hannover or in Perpignan later this year.
