Lol, too bad our hols are not entirely the same as you guys. All the best man! Wonder if you could bring your cams as a good luck charm. haha :bsmilie:

:bsmilie: Then don't need study liao hohoho. And then after happy taking A levels without study, you can forget about your 1D MarkIII haha. Most likely teacher won't give back cause they wanna rip something off you. Lol.

 

[JoshSiao]

come on lah. even the most expensive and usable lenses are like 1+k, which is cheap relative to the cost of other CCAs. why dun i see school funded equipment on the run? or too many bodies chasing too little lenses?

In SAJC, photog is seen as a service society only. Its not seen as a CCA that will be winning lots of SYF Golds unlike say the Military Band or Dance. Hence the management sees the "returns" not as great, so why put in so much financial investment. Though, I have heard rumours that some JC's dark rooms are so well stocked that they can't keep up track with the equipment loans:bigeyes:. We are on a need to buy basis, all big ticket purchases have to be requested for and a ready fund of only S$200 +/- is avaliable for stuff like batteries, CD-Rs, and other disposables.

AJC, has a nice photog. 3 departments if I remember correctly from their annual photog seminar that I attended in 2006. Studio, photoshop and dark room (old fashion dark room with chemicals)

Let me share another experience of SAJC photog. When SAJC moved from its Malan Road Campus to potong pasir, the members who did the moving in, though it was going to be much better, (the old darkroom in Malan Road was actually a biology lab storeroom squashed in between the bio labs and the bio prep room. When the moved in, they saw a nice plaque on the door that said DARK ROOM. Whee nice! Open the door, and then fumbled for the light switch... Erm, theres no light switch, and theres no light. A literal dark room.:sweatsm: The contractors apprently thought it was supposed to be a DARK room and hence didn't put in a light. So the members had to operate from an old table lamp, for 3 months before they put in a light all the while avoiding dripping water leaking from the toilet upstairs.:sweat:

One more thing, A levels starts in end October and should end by mid-November, for the standard H2 papers. Not sure for the H3 papers though. So those who are planning outing etc can take this into account.

AJ has 4 departments~ Last one deals with sports and nature called the outdoors grp

And they do have a psuedo department that deals with events coverage la~

Actually, whether the teachers fight for the cca also determines the fate of the cca la...

Well... have you brought this up to your teacher I/C or the principal; in other words take action? If they feel that 'returns' are not there, then its most probably because they are not aware of it. There are alot of returns to have a full fledge photog club in sch. Think about what kind of returns you can offer them and convince them of the benifits. Show them what you are capable of, thrash your entire portfolio into their faces; of cos make sure the pics are wow... haha then throw them your statement of demand, "We can do this, if only... if only we had he money...."

It is also important to have a teacher I/C that is willing to fight for your cause. If your teacher is like.. couldn't really be bothered, they u shud just pray that a new teacher will come in. If your teacher is on your side, half the battle is already won.

Alternatively, if funding is a problem, there are many way to earn from the student population. Sometimes it's better to stand on your own two feet than whine and beg for funding from school. School funding is often than not, miserable, especially if its a not a 'recognized' CCA. Hence the need for supplementary funding from an external source is crucial for the club to expand.

Lastly, you have to fix up your members. They have to be willing to work hard and rooted for the cause because funding is only going to flow in when they start producing the quality work.

Hmmm, i guess those who're 'free' could start thinking of ideas for our first outing? At least by the time the J2 shooters are done, we could start organising already.
