Today the Chinese New Year was celebrated and I was assigned to cover the event. I was pretty excited about it, shooting photos of the big dragons and stuff like that.I arrive like 5 minutes before the event was scheduled to start (according to the journalist) and see the city square completely empty. There’s a guy with a video camera and a couple of photographers.So I’m asking if this is where the event is, and I get the response “They just finished.”I’m like what the fuck!!The journalist gave me a wrong time, so I was forced to only shoot the speeches and other indoor activity. This is unfortunately not a first. I have experienced arriving at an appointed destination only to walk again minutes later because I was given a wrong time or date. Or it was cancelled and I wasn’t told. I guess it’s part of the job.I did get my dragon shot though!Today in Frederiksberg City Hall, the Chinese New Year was celebrated, with visits from various ambassadors and other important people.(Photo: Brian Poulsen)(Canon EOS-1D Mark II n, 17-40mm @ 17mm, 1/60sec, f/4, ISO800, flash fired)
