“Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas, it is a creative art”
Such a famous quote from the great photographer, Ansell Adams. Similar quotes were posted all around the place at the World Press Photo Expo at the NSW State Library. This is the third year in a row that I have gone and it’s just growing larger and larger. Each photo is so powerful, but more importantly full of inspiration.
The expo is pretty much about showing of the worlds best photo journalists. Covering all different areas like feature storeys to sport to coverage of civil wars. Its some of the best work you will ever lay your eyes on.
The main reason I go every year is to see the sports shots. There just simply amazing!
Like how pimp is that shot? a bomber flying over a stadium most likely taken from a remote camera.
Highlight for me was Elizabeth Kreutz feature story on Lance Armstrong’s return to the 2009 Tour De France. They also had a interview with Elizabeth and I just sat down and watched. It was quite inspirational and will form the basis of what I hope to capture at the World 24Hr solo mtb race later this year.
