Fruitful
16 April, 2007 by malcolm-
It has been a tiring week. A long week. A fruitful week. Just my third week into the job, I had something to cover everyday. It was from interviews to visits, from courtesy calls to static displays. The highlight of the week got to be the NS40 launch.
This year we celebrate 40 years of NS. To commemorate this meaningful event, an exhibition was launched and held over the weekends at Ngee Ann City. It was the first time I had the taste of Full Media Coverage . In simple terms, everybody from the media were there. Ranging from CNA to Straits Times, from Pioneer to Air Force News. It was kind of a chaotic to me initially. Just had to simply fight for space to find a good angle to shoot. In school, I had the comfort of shooting with just me alone or at most one more. But here, we have say at least a dozen of us trying to get the shot. The greatest challenge was not to cross the path of the video cameras (or you will see your head on tv later in the night).
Another exciting thing was I actually got to see fighters take off infront of me! They were just a couple of hundred meters away as they zoomed down the runway and lifting off into the sky. At first, there were only 2 and that got me quite excited. The boom from the take-off is certainly deafening. It's even louder than thunder. So for that couple of seconds, you just have to press your eye shut. Everybody in the shed does that, so you aren't alone.
However, soon enough, they were followed by 10 more. Okie, LDMU settling in. Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility that is. Too much of a good thing at one single go is just boring. Hahaz. Go on and say I'm hard to please.
Anyway this week will be back to articles and just a couple of events to cover. Did I mention that my articles are in the 101th issue of Air Force News! Yeay! One month into the job and my articles are going to be up. Will show it to you people when its all published and distributed.
By the way, come next week there'll be a photo exhibition at Objectifs School of Photography. It's near Bugis. Nothing really much. It's just a mini exhibition of some works of the students there. Needless to say, I'm one as well. Judging from what my instructor said, it's going to be a little different than just having one A4 pic on the wall. Our works will be printed in large format to cover the entire wall. The wonders of Conceptual Photography. Will be sending out invites to those interested!
Here's one to keep you want to see more.
It's suppose to be Conceptual Art. So the hidden meaning behind it is up to you to interpret.
