Stranger

"Iceman" from the 2009 Vancouver Polar Bear Swim

Please head over to the wonderful La Pura Vida where some of my photographs were featured as part of the strange.rs launch on 01.2010. One of my photos was also recently selected for LPV Gallery’s November 2009 monthly show: Four Walls and Adobe Slabs.

Thanks to Bryan Formhals, the creator of La Pura Vida.

Regency - Waxy Contest

I’m giving away one free print. Yup. FREE! But in exchange, I need your help, both desperately and quickly.

Memelabs and Parklane Homes  are sponsoring a contest to be the next Fred Herzog, an icon of Vancouver Street Photography. Please visit the three links below and vote for my photographs. Unfortunately you will need to register but hopefully with the opportunity to win a print you can overlook that small detail!

Once you’ve voted, make sure to leave a comment here saying so, or email me at contests (at) waxyphotography.com, to tell me you’ve voted. Remember, to win you must say “I Voted.” This is by the honor system, so please, be kind to your neighbors and vote. On Monday June 1, 2009,  I will choose one name by random drawing [Memelabs has extended to voting period. To be fair, I have done the same. The winner of the free print will be notified at the close of voting, around June 8, 2009. Thanks!]. That person will receive an 8 x 10″ C-print from my portfolio.

Thanks for your help!
Waxy

P.S. The reason I entered the contest at the midnight hour is that I have been wrestling with the organizers to make fairer rules for photographers (see here). They have done that. Thus, by voting you are supporting an organization that supports photographers rights. Furthermore, they have asked to meet with me following the close of the contest.  If you would like to share your constructive ideas on how they can better support photographers rights, I would be pleased to forward them to the organization. Thanks!
