The jury has spoken and the winners of the 3Dimerce Competition 2009: Silly Snapshot are known!
It was a very close call for Rogé and Roel, but they managed to pull it off for the first time in company history. As of now they are the keepers of the official 3Dimerce Challenge Cup for a whole year long.
Roel: “It’s a real honor and we’re happy to have finally won! About the winning photograph: “Early this year during our 3Dimerce UK customer tour we drove past Crewe and visited it because of the world famous Bentley factory.
During the visit of a couple of hours, we saw the abundance of ‘Secret Bunker’ signs and thought it would be a great Silly Snapshot! Because we’d forgotten a photo camera, so we bought one in Crewe. By the time we found a decent camera, we had to leave Crewe in order to catch the ferry to Ireland.
The next day we would drive back to London via Crewe, so we thought ‘we’ll take the snapshot than’. On the return journey with the ferry, our recently bought camera fell out of my hands and was broken in this event… Pushful men as we are, we desperately searched for a new camera in Wales. But by the time we had our second camera, it was pitch dark when we reached Crewe and we couldn’t find the damn bunker anymore, nor any signs! After at least 2 hours of searching, we found a road sign again! We drove up to the secret bunker, a bit rainy, dark and nobody around… It really felt like genuine espionage! The “Truth is out there / X-Files” kind of feel we had when we were there, was captured from the hood of Rogé’s car and added with some Photoshop road signs we’ve took on the way.”
