Meridian Junior College Photographers Visits Zoo
by Ng Jun Sen / Alumni
Just a mere week after the gathering at Mr Cheng's house, Meridian Junior College student photographers were once again on the field covering another assignment. This time, the Singapore Red Cross has requested for the help of four photographers from the MJC Photography Club to cover the World Blood Donor Day on the 14th of June, 2008.
A team of five photographers from the Club was assembled for this event, comprising of Victoria, Mumtaz, Humairah, Aida and Chin Chye. In addition, the force was augmented by three Alumni members, Kingston, Chee Howe and Jun Sen, who were present to provide support for the above operation.
The event commenced at 8:30am, and as the Singapore Red Cross busied themselves with the preparations, the photographers proceeded to recce the ground. With a carnival to cover and a shoot-and-print booth to man, there was much to do for this day. Photographer Jun Sen had this to say, "Wah lao sure damn sian one! I think I'll go take pictures of the animals instead."
The photo booth was placed at the entrance of the zoo, with printing services provided by Hewlett Packard. Visitors to the Zoo could have their pictures taken with the Red Cross Mascot, Blood Buddy, and have them printed free-of-charge. Photographer Chin Chye said this, "Blood Buddy? No, its pronounced Bloody!"
After a quick briefing and crash course, the event started proper and the Meridian JC photographers carried on with their various taskings. Eventually, the photographers found themselves taking pictures of Pygmy Hippos rather than guest-of-honours.
"Aiyer! So cute!", said Photographer Victoria, referring to the African elephants in one of the displays.
The photographers visited the gibbons, white tigers, kangaroos and more. The crowd turnout was spectacular. There were the regular tourists, invited guests of the World Donor Day celebrations as well as volunteers for the event. Scientists gave a rough estimate that at one point of time there were 13 million people in the zoo.
Photographer Vicky fooling around.
The carnival ended at 6pm. Some of the photographers got lost and some who wore slippers stepped on what scientists believe was mud. Eventually, everything came to a close and went home happy.
