If you are into photography this sounds like a cool event; plus it will benefit Pediatric Cancer Patients here in Puerto Rico.
Fotomission will be hosting the very first San Juan Photo Marathon on Sunday April 21, 2013. The event is open to everyone and will take place around the streets of Old San Juan.
Being a marathon the event will take place over 6 hours during which time participants will be assigned 6 topics to photograph around the streets of Old San Juan. For each topic you must capture 2 photographs so that you will have a total of 12 photographs by the end of the event.
The topics to photograph will be handed out during the day and will allow participants plenty of scope in the photographs that they take.
The best three photos for each topic will be awarded a cash prize and winners will be exhibited at Fotomission’s Gallery during the month of June.
This is a fundraiser event for Fotomission Kids a photography program for pediatric cancer patients in Puerto Rico.
