...and Now, Moving Forward with an account of the FT Weekend 1, 2011 and a new MLYC !


Here's what happened through the lenses of Mark Low:

Formation Team Weekend 1(FT Weekend 1) had just came and gone. It was a totally new and different experience for many of us. This FT Weekend 1’s theme was 'The Art and Science of Photography'. Photographs can express many things because it gives an individual a perception in just about anything and having good photography skills could come in handy anytime in the future. In addition to that, this FT Weekend 1 was also the 4th appointment of the Malaysian Lasallian Youth Commissioners.

Like every other gathering, no matter whether it is a FT Weekend or not, we enjoy the company of our friends as some of us have not seen each other in awhile. FT Weekend 1 did teach us about the trick and trade of photography, however, I felt the most important part was having a gathering with all our friends there to enjoy, have fun and unwind for the weekend.

Brother Matt conducted the sessions as he has a rich background and experience in photography that he could share with us. We found it very helpful as before this, we never knew how to operate such sophisticated cameras. After that, we had games before moving into the more serious part of the FT Weekend, that is the elections of the Malaysian Lasallian Youth Commission and the amendments of the Constitution.

It was an enjoying weekend for many of us, a break from the reality of our daily lives, away from all the unnecessary stress. We really learnt how to use the camera to capture a perfect picture so that we could keep memories and not forget them. FT Weekend 1 was certainly one of the weekends that we will remember for a long time.

The sessions on photography ended with an outdoor assignment - to choose a theme and to capture photos that reflect the theme. Here are Jeremy and Pui Yi's photographs from the outdoor adventure. They're still not sure if these are good photos or not. Care to guess the theme?
