In cinematic terms, there isn’t that much magic anywhere in the universe.
This movie does not win.

You see, I’m a crap photographer.
And I knew that Anthony Tan and his crew from Image Foundation were taking photo and video of the event, and that eventually it would get posted on Bad Boy Ben’s blog and/or Conemaster’s Facebook page.
