Initially, it was difficult for us as a group to finalise our theme. Firstly, it was on the Public Display of Affection (PDA). Here, we wanted to portray an alternative viewpoint, that instead of capturing images that are the norm, our focus is on our personal take on affection — how ppl show affection towards their family members, religion or even their own hobby.
However, the problem with this theme is that after piecing all the images together, each picture seems to be standing on their own. It doesn’t feel as though there is a common link between all 30 images.
We tried changing the theme to suit the pictures instead but of course, this didn’t work out as well.
Hence, it was back to the drawing board for all 10 of us. Yes, it may be quite frustrating, thinking about how the final sequence would look like. But thankfully, all of us were pretty keen on this exhibition and finally, we came up with the theme of Moments — To share and to Live For.
For me, I was interested in how people spend their moments at the beach. It was the perfect setting to snap some pictures as there were people from all walks of life doing whatever they do best. It was fun, yet after reviewing all the pictures i took, it all seemed to have a mellow feel to it.

The pictures above were just alternatives to the theme, but it was the final 3 pieces (in the earlier post) that made the cut. =)
So to my dear groupmates,
It has really been great working with all 10 of you! Thanks for spending time to come down for meetings in school, for being very cooperative amidst the madness during this study break.
Thanks also for taking time off to send da pix for printing, matting, cracking the brains for the new theme and captions, doing up the brochure, and helping me with the blog too.
It’s been one helluva ride~
Good luck for da exams! =)
with warm regards,
Liyana
