Farewell...

Hi guys,

Today is the last time that I'm attending a Photog Club meeting.

It has been 7 long years. Thank you for the many wonderful memories.

Every year I have to fill up this form to indicate whether I would like a change of CCA or to take up new responsibility. There wasn't the option of reducing responsibility but yet staying in the same CCA.

Well being the unconventional me, I created my own option on the form, last year. ie to step down as in-charge but still want to stay in Photog.

Why am I telling you this story?

Because I want you guys to know that I am not leaving Photog for another CCA.

I am leaving Photog because I am leaving MJ.

I loved being in Photog because it is the platform for me to talk about things that are close to my heart. Inner life issues such as self-worth, pride, relationships, identity etc...

As much as I would like to stay on to mentor you guys and be a part of your journey, and you guys know how much I enjoyed talking about life with you all, but my most important mentees are still my sons.

I am not ashamed to say that I do not have the capacity to do what I envision myself to do, without sacrificing my family time.

I am moving on so that I can do what I am called to do and be an involved dad in my sons' lives.

Always remember the fundamentals of life and make sure the fundamentals are right.

Farewell...

Le Automatic Photo Studio aka MJC Open House '13

Hihi J1s (if you're reading this space), you don't know me, and I don't you (yet), but if you swung by MJC's Open House, you'd have noticed a self-declared "Automatic Photo Studio" that supposedly tracks your movement and takes your photo as you walk past the camera *sweatdrops*

Anyway, here's a "blast from the past" with the pics if you missed it! (Yes, it's already mid-March but sorry la, film photography takes a longer time to reach the realm of the Internet.. finishing the roll and developing and scanning and all :X) 

Anyway, exco alumni whoever post something leh, I feel like I'm talking to myself .__.

Much Love,
SQUIRREL <3

Public Service Announcement

Portraiture is fun, creativity is good, but not in the wrong places! Check out this link, the title says it all:

And not forgetting this (ok, I forgot the photographer's name and had to google weird stuff like "disastrous Olympic photos" but you get the idea)

Btw, Happy CNY everyone! Huat ah!

Behind Your Lens

Beautiful, beautiful behind-the-scenes video of your lenses being made.

The Stars in China

Have you ever seen this many stars in Singapore? I bet you haven't. The stars my mates and I saw on one night during a week's long photography trip to Fujian, China were literally countless. It was definitely an eye-opening experience for me. I even saw a shooting star for the very first time!
