Lockdown re-visited
Craig Rogers; Welcome to Auckland; Times have changed
FOTOMUSEO – National Museum of Photography in Bogota, Colombia has the pleasure to inform you about the opening registration to the International photography contest IX FOTOMARATÓN 2020.
FOTOMARATÓN is the one of a kind contest, where participants will have two days (September 12 to 13) to complete a PhotoRoute or Fotoruta, a guide that contains 20 themes to photograph (one image per theme). The PhotoRoute will be revealed 2 days before the starting day of FOTOMARATÓN 2020.
All groups, clubs and individual photographers can register their own participation. Fun challenge with photography and themes. In 2020, like the rest of the world, Colombia had to face the difficulties of confinement. This current situation is what inspired FotoMuseo to extend the participation of FOTOMARATÓN to the rest of the world, by creating a contest that will be 100% online. Everyone can participate without any restrictions. The photo route has been designed to take place inside the participant's home. This new edition will give you the opportunity to re-discover your personal territory. Your home.
Walk, Cycle, Skate - Street exhibitions
An outdoor display of Nikon Auckland Photo Day winners and selected entries are shown on construction hoardings along Hopetoun Street near K Road and on Nikau Street in Mt Eden as part of the partnership with the Link Alliance, which is delivering the main stations and tunnels contract for the City Rail Link. Walk, skate, cycle or jog by. Bus or drive to K Road or Mt Eden Road, alight at the stop nearest to Pitt St or Ponsonby Road or Galbraiths Ale House for Nikau St, or park on AT carpark next to it and head down Nikau Street on foot.
Support local as part of your visit. Street parking is very limited on Nikau Street and there's none on Hopetoun St so do try to use public transport or park nearby and walk. Or get on your bike or skateboard! Open now through 2020.
