Simplicity is Bliss

The early morning breaks through the fog and warm the land. a lonely figure led his cow for a morning bath at the river. No rush for the morning bus or train, no dealine to meet, no boss to jump on you next. There is a "take it easy" pace of the “与世无争“feel about the whole scene. Time slipped past at a painful streak. But no rush, no urgency, no stress.

Circle of Light Fellowship

Rain can't kill the undying B&W spirit

It was an inspiring day at Epsite Gallery despite all the rain. The Circle of Light Fellowship for B&W photo enthusiasts kick off with its 1st gathering on 2 Jan 05 at Epsite Gallery. Though it rained heavily the entire afternoon, I saw many B&W fellows braving the wet weather and turn up with their B&W prints. It shows the undyingspirit of the hardcore B&W aficionadoes.!!!



Really had to thank Mr Tan Haur at Epsite for believing in us. In the age where digital is taking the photo community by storm and popularity, getting a B&W movement to go on was no mean an easy task. The act of people making an attempt to attend despite the heavy rain shows that kind of fervour that the B&W communbity had. From the group, many perceive it as a gathering for only traditional darkroom people. But this is not. We also welcome digital media so long as it is featuring a monochrome rendition of an picture.

The session went bvery well with many members showing prints of high quality. Kex, PNChong, Oszzy, Greg, & all others made the session a wonderful learning experience. Seems B&W is still putting up a resistance to its extinction. Well, the turn out was a little disappointing with 18 person turn out although near 40 person sign up to come. Probably, the heavy rain had shaken up some of the people's determination to come for the session. Hope to see them in the next session.

Onwards......B&W will ive on...!!!! Until the next gathering. Adios!
