And the Winner is ... Controversy

(Leica D-Lux 5) Seldom has it been that winning works cherry-picked for a competition are free of controversy, surely save ourselves being the winner. How many times we have seen the winning works in a photo contest too amateurish, off the mark or exceedingly post-processed is anybody’s guess. Now, there are two new fodders for the photography community to carry on the relay of mockery. This guy and this guy won the inaugural WYNG Masters Award for Photography on the theme of poverty for a prize of HK$125,000 each or, in a common international photography language, roughly two Leica M Monochroms (Well I wonder if the "s" can be suffixed this way).

To tie in with the event is a series of – let me check – hmmmm, yes, FREE talks on the topics of poverty, art and photography.  Registration is required as seats are limited. Go here .
