For Good Luck
This is the image I submitted for the second segment of the Canon PhotoMarathon last month. The theme announced was Kyosei or 共生 in Kanji, meaning “spirit of cooperation”. It was not exactly an easy theme to accomplish in the allocated three hours but I thought the story in my picture might have been suitable.

Around Together

Around Together
After years of wanting to take part (in the previous years, I have either been away or was busy with work), I finally took part in my very first Canon PhotoMarathon which took place yesterday. Three photo themes were announced at three-hourly intervals with photographers going around trying to capture a photograph that matched the theme announced. The second theme announced was a Japanese term called Kyosei which was translated as “Living and Working Together For the Common Good”. The above photograph was one that I shortlisted (but ultimately did not choose) for submission for this theme. Ignoring the themes, this one one of favourites from the day that I was pretty pleased with.
