Faces, MBC

I took this piece during the Canon Digital Life Photo Marathon. The theme of the hour was faces and, instead of taking pictures of old people or children, or clocks and idols and statues, I figured the main emphasis of the work should be on the amateur photographers, on those nameless and faceless individuals who were trying to make their mark by winning something of this sort. Like the works of anti-artists from the Dada movement of the 1920s, it was also meant to satirize the entire process, to poke fun at established norms of good photography, and the thread was a common one throughout the photos I shot on that occasion.
