Here's the email sent out to everyone tdy. Just in case you did not receive/read.

Here are the updates for the week:

We submitted zero poplens for the whole of work-year 07/08. Not something very desirable, although this can be attributed partly to the lack of publishing space. We have pledged to produce 3 this year.

To members unaware of what POPlens is about, it is essentially a section in 联合早报 Popcorn section in which we get to publish our own photo essays. Which means a set of photographs on the same theme, with a little description on what is it about. Topics can be wide ranging, from a collection of lamp-posts to pictures on HDB flats. Photos can come from an individual, or together as a group.

Right now we already have 3 topics approved, but may/may not be ideal topics. So we are still sourcing for more. Join in the discussion over at the FORUM. Any queries regarding this can also be brought up there.

The Moon cake moment is here again! I'm sure everyone would have at least bought a set or 2. Before you start devouring the delicacy, spend some time appreciating the intricate designs with your camera. Yes, I mean take photos! The 哈哈镜 section for the upcoming Huixun will be featuring moon-cakes, so do send me some photos of those sweet little delicacies you get to eat.

In addition, do spare some effort observing and photographing the activities pertaining to Mid autumn festival, like playing with candles/sparkles, strolling with lanterns etc.

That's all for now. Enjoy your week ahead, and do visit and post on the blog and forum frequently!

Regards,

Wangwei
