The World Architecture Festival (WAF), the largest international gathering of architects, has announced its judges for 2016. The annual event, consisting of awards, a conference, and an exhibition, recognizes outstanding projects in a variety of categories, and is attended by over 2,000 visitors from 65 countries. This year’s festival will be held from November 16-18, 2016 at Arena Berlin in Germany.
The festival grants awards in 31 categories broken into three sections: Completed Buildings, Future Projects, and Landscape. All submissions are placed in the WAF archive, the World Building Directory Online Database, where projects can be searched by section, country, year, award, and keyword.

When we arrived at the beach i had been shooting for few hours and I discovered to my horror that my battery had run out and my thee extra batteries were empty! I shomehow assumed the were full and did not check them before driving off.
We spent about an hour there and I was able to squeeze five exposures out of my camera by warming a battery (put it inside my parka) for 10-15 minutes and then quickly turn the camera on an shoot and the the exposure finished before the battery. Pretty nerve wrecking and frustrating but most of the frames actually are good. 🙂 http://flic.kr/p/AtWGnp
