Reddit, we could really use your help, my good friend / roommate is a Canadian photographer who was entered into a major photography competition (the winner is shooting for W and considered for a Hugo Boss campaign). One of the judging criteria is voting. This is where I need some assistance, it only allows one vote per person, and he was entered about half way through the competition voting period with this image.
He has since made it to second place, the current first place photo suspiciously gained a large lead (in a 15 minute span from not even being present in the top 5 to number 1 - we think purchased votes & bots) and with less than 10 hour remaining there's some hope in pushing Koby’s photo to first.
You can go to [www.wmagazine.com/the-shot](http:// www.wmagazine.com/the-shot) to vote.
A little backstory about Koby and why I am asking for this help, something I wouldn’t typically do.
He is an Israeli immigrant who came to Toronto many years ago with his family to get away from the increasing violence within Israel. Since then he has used photography as an outlet to express himself and cope with the stress created by both the violence and his move. He eventually made photography into his career which has spanned the last 10 years.
In the 4 years I’ve known him I have never seen someone so committed and passionate about what they do. There have been many times I have seen him spend way more time and effort on projects and jobs than necessary, and go way above what is expected. His goal is always the quality of art he produces. It’s this passion that he extends to everything, he’s saved my butt a number of times and I would like to return the favor. If there is anyone who deserves to win this competition and the opportunity it gives - its him.

TL;DR My good friend is an Israeli immigrant entered into a major photography competition in NY I am asking Reddit’s help with voting. btw this is my favorite photo he has ever taken what is the funniest photo you have ever taken?
