Our second theme was "Human in Yangon." It was just about sunset so I presented the idea of going down to the jetty. I wanted to hire one of the small boats to take me to the middle of the river so I could get a picture of Yangon from afar but when I got there they said that it was illegal for them to transport foreigners. I didn't want to take the ferry over so I just settled for some jetty pictures from land.
Returning to the Royal Rose where we started the marathon, we each took turns uploading our cards to the group computer and selecting our favorite two photographs for each theme. The hardest part of the whole marathon was submitting UNEDITED photos. Not that I do a lot of editing to my photographs but it is like seeing someone who always wears makeup with just their bare skin. On the bright side at least I know that all of the contestants had the same expectations so we will all be on the same playing field.
I know this was A LOT of writing without any photographs but here they are, my submissions for the 2014 FotoMarathon Yangon.
