Received a call from Straits Times / Canon that I was shortlisted to join the Straits Times team to shoot the SEA Games in Laos during December. This was a happy and sad news. I was happy that my 2 shots had won the favour of the judging team to win myself a Canon EOS 50D with 18-200mm lens, as well as a free trip to Laos to shoot the SEA games. I was sad as this will disrupt my vacation plan with my family.
Should I forgo my prize and once in a life opportunity to shoot with the press or to spend time with my family? Or arrange to have a family vacation in Laos?
I shot both pics during the Great Eastern Women 10k run last Sunday with the Olympus E-P1 with Lumix 7-14mm and 14-45mm lenses.
Another sad news was that my entries in the Vivocity Photo Contest didn't win me any prize.

Why don't you bring your family along with you? Heh.
ReplyDeleteThe whole Asean is flying into Laos. No flight and seats are available. And I have to spend one whole day to fly in. I doubt I can arrive in time for the open ceremony. And the return flight is going to take more than 12 hours.
