Ask the average zombie, "why?" and the answer will be something along the lines of "for fun." Thousands of people will spend hours preparing and then give over more hours to the walking/shambling for apparently "no reason" and the this absolutely baffles the uninvolved. But there is an underlying, deeper, unspoken reality to events like Zombie Walk.

There are so many genres of photography and these days everyone is a photographer. It is not an arcane craft requiring special knowledge and difficult to attain materials and equipment as it was a century ago. The challenge in an overcrowded field is differentiating oneself. The real work is not that one nice shot that holds someone's attention for a few minutes anymore, but creating a body of work that stands apart.

Apparently the Urban Culture Conference and Awards is having slower ticket sales than they expected. How do I know this? Because they have trotted out the 'Vancouver sucks' card, and I quote, "Vancouver has had an historic reputation for lacking the community spirit necessary for a festival like the one we planned." Really?
