Fotocology's Photography for The MDA Singapore Media Fusion Gallery - Built by PICO Art.

This is the fruit of the labour of the project I was pretty busy with a few months back. Fotocology was commissioned by PICO Art to photograph various genres of media in Singapore. This involves going about to various publications, media houses, games and animation companies for photo shoots. The photos were intended to tell a story of Singapore's media history and relevance via an exhibition in the gallery.

Today, the gallery is finally completed and thanks to Weetz, I was one of the few that managed to catch a glimpse of it first! We had lunch (thanks for the great ramen lunch Weetz!) at Fusionpolis itself before proceeding to the gallery which is on the 26th floor. The gallery occupied the entire floor and boasts a great sky terrace with a great view. We had some time to look at the gallery and I felt a wave of goosebumps run through me for a short while. With the knowledge that my work will be in the gallery for quite some time to come, is really amazing. It feels good. And knowing, these are the pics invited guests from local or overseas will view when they are brought around the gallery - touches me. I had a great time just basking in it for a while in complete serenity and privacy and in the great company of Weetz. Took some snapshots and also managed to play around with the gadgets a little! The featured table-based PC seems like a great island table in the kitchen!

Once again, a shout out and thank you to Mel, Sharon and Gimz from PICO Art for the wonderful working opportunity. It was a pleasure meeting so many different people in the course of doing this project. It has also opened great doors for Fotocology as well. Also to Alexis, my designer, whom spent a grea deal of time helping me to sort out the visuals and carrying out first phase of photo editing.

The job wasn't easy but I definitely relished every single bit of it!
