Junior Photographers' Workshops

A series of Junior Photographers' Workshops for kids age 8 to 12 years was conducted by Kim Boon, Chief Facilitator and Trainer of PhotoVacationClub in collaboration with The Picture Company and Gardens Club, Pavilion Junior Club and Lara's Place over the last few weeks during the school holidays.

At these workshops the kids were introduced to the art of photography and had the opportunity to get familiarised with their cameras, learned on using (and also when not to use) the basic and preset functions of the camera, had lots of fun during the practical outdoor and indoor sessions, and also learned to make their own personalised greeting cards with the images they captured themselves!

The next workshop is in collaboration with National Geographic KL Store at Lot 10 on the 28th of January 2012 (Saturday).

My Tibetan Trip

One of the most challenging trip ever for me and wife. Travelling across China from Chengdu to Ganzi took us 2 days 1 night, passing through Kang Ting the place made famous by the classic song, "The Love Song of Kang Ting"

The journey is full of memorable experience though, one being have to use the open air toilet, literally means no toilet la!, have to hie behind rocks or bushes for our natural business! Next was overheated engine of one of the 4x4 we travelled in and having to fill up water every now and then.

Of course, all these are well worth it, when we finally arrived at 4000 meters above sea level at our Sifu's home cum hospital.
