Well the finalists have been named:

And no, I'm not one of them.

I'm kinda pissy about that. Especially since one of the finalists of the portraiture section is the crappiest picture ever. The judge must not have had glasses on when he looked at it. It looks like a spur of the moment shot in the photographers attic with no thought to composition at all.

So the journal skin I'm using kinda sums up what I'd like to send to the judges over at Canon. All I need is a willing assassin. Maybe I should see what I can find on google...

The only good that has come out of this competition is that I've learnt to try different techniques and to experiment using props.

So once I'm out of this anti-photography funk, I'll probably look at taking more photos.

Till then...
