Re: Sustenance - on line.

I am with Bo, Caroling and Pau on this one, definitively.
I think it is time for some to rethink the true purpose of WWP. Go back to
the roots and spur of thoughts creating this unique event to sustain it.
Some of you are just plain overthinkers, think too long and too hard about
it in a way that they either freeze up and can not do anything about it,
or do it and then loose interest along the way and let their ego come into
play.
Its simple to me. Its a showcase for VR Photography to show the world in
360 to the world and make this media public. It is not about the theme.
The theme is a comon denominator, so is the time frame. The themes are to
be taken what they are and all of them have meanings that can be read up
in the dictionary. In the english dictionary that is. I am not native
english, meaning that i tend to try to translate the word. Which I know,
is not the way to truly understand the meaning of the word. I keep
reminding me of this fact. I admit that the theme sustenance was
irritating at first. I dont use it in my vocabulary often, I think I never
did until now. Once studied it becomes a broad therm. It applies to many
things in life. In fact it applies for all living things. Once you realize
that it is opening up the possibilities to interpret in VR.
Just the fact that it becomes so basic once understood is no reason not to
shoot for it or even omit an already shot submission because of its
banality. That is just failing the assignment given.
Partisipate if you can for VR Photography sake. The work I have seen so
far on this event is outstanding. Congratulations.
To the WWP team, sponsors and moral supporters: Another great job, well
done. I appreciate your hard and dedicated work very much.
Cheers, Milko
