A Photo A Week

In case u haven notice, there is a button on the top of our blog called A Photo a Week. Its is a forum thread which was started on Nov 1 2008, 02:06 PM by Eunice Chan on suggestion by Angeline. Now that you people have ended your Mid-Years, u will have more time to shoot already right ? What do u do to your shots after u have taken them ? Do you post it online or keep it secretly in some random hardisk? Or do you post it on facebook where some random friends who know nuts about photography comment ooh ahh which in actual fact all they care is whether their faces are on the pics or not ? ( I post also lah, sometimes the ooh ahh quite nice to hear also...)

Now you have another place to exibit your works where viewers are no other than your peers and wonderful Alumni who can give you invaluable comments on how you can improve your pictures. Thats the A Photo a Week forum thread ! Last check on the ph
