Overwhelming response to Photo Workshops

No sooner was the SMS blast made, were the places already taken up with responses at furious speed. Because of the constraints of the meeting room in Food-from-the-Heart Office, the most we could accommodate is 45 people at each time.

So, if you have received another SMS confirmation from FFTH Office, do remember to bookmark the date and time. The location is FFTH Office at Goldhill Centre 161B, Thomson Rd (Opposite to United Square) Singapore 397614. Tel: 6259 7176

Workshop #1: Fri 11 Jan 2008, 7pm  

Workship #2: Sat 12 Jan 2008, 3pm

To those who missed this time, we will try to organise more workshops. If you are interested, drop an email to victor@foodheart.org, and we will keep you posted.

Photo Workshops

We have lined up two workshops, bringing in various photographers with different experiences to share with you their experiences. We hope that these workshops will inspire you to look at the “Human Heart” from various perspectives.

On Fri 11 Jan 2008, from 7pm to 9pm, we have invited Hermie Vanlaar to share with you her experiences of Singapore. See how a Dutch lady looks at the daily Singapore life. She has published a photography book entitled, A slice of Singapore.

On Sat 12 Jan 2008, from 3pm to 5.30pm, we have a lineup of four photographers. They are Eugene Tang of the singaporesights.com fame. You will get to hear how Eugene makes a business out of the new media. Patrick Leong has published a book dedicated to the “Bodhi Tree and Leaves” in honour of Jin Long Shi. But his interests is in underwater photography. Billy, as many of you might have met him, being the volunteer photographer with FFTH, he will talk about his experiences as a commercial photographer. And there’s Gilles Massot, a localised French who has lived in Singapore for the past 25 years. He is the guru of photography, teaching in LaSalle. He has published a number of books.

We hope  they sharing their experiences will enrich you with ideas on how to capture that moment onto a photo, something that anyone and everyone can!

We will let you know the place once we have confirmed it. We are hoping to find a place nearer to town. Watch out for updates!
