Capturing the world

The World Press Photo travelling exhibition is always highly anticipated at the State Library of NSW and combined with the SMH Photos 1440 makes it one of the must see exhibitions in Sydney at the moment. It's free and only on until 24 July 2011 so don't miss out. Canon are one of the major sponsors who have branded the events under the Canon EOS Festival of Photography. The well-attended opening event at the State Library of NSW was catered by Laissez-faire Catering which served plenty of tasty canapes. The Prawn canape was my favourite using large, fully peeled and properly deveined prawns. They could have perhaps had a bit more seasoning and flavour but were very easy to eat and satisfying — I think I had to stop myself at six. The Haloumi canape looked good but was very salty and not as moist and juicy as one would hope. The parsley and lemon dressing on top was a good match. The bite-sized Chicken goujons were popular and the Mini Lamb Burgers were flavoursome and moist.

SNAPSHOT REVIEW:
PROS: Free exhibition, Amazing and thought-provoking photography
CONS: Only on for a limited time, Some horrific scenes of death which can be very upsetting to see
MUST TRY: Learning the art of photography from the experts
