Kampar, 25 March – Feelings
change and people fade, but the memories, they last. As the saying goes, a good
snapshot is always the best way to stop the moment from slipping away. A
photograph taken today is a lifetime of yesterdays.
In
order to provide a great platform for students to stage and develop their
photography skills, UTAR Perak Campus Photography Society proudly returns to present
to you the grand annual event, Trail of Memories Photo Exhibition 2013.
Five-consecutive-days of exhibition, was held at Heritage
Hall (Block A) from 11a.m. to 4p.m. to students and staffs.
Ms Kavitha a/p Manickam who is the advisor of Photography
Society, said “We can see how powerful the camera is nowadays as it is always
the best medium to tell a story”, during the opening ceremony.

The
main attraction of the event is the locomotive train which is made out of
pieces of bamboos tied together. This mascot symbolizes the meaning of
traveling through time to relive the visitors’ memories.

The locomotive train model
successfully attracted a lot of attention from visitors.
|
The exhibition area was divided into seven zones such as architectural photography, love and family portraits, people in general, street photography, animals photography, abstract photography and high contrast photography.

UTAR Model, Gan Tsai Wee was
one of the models in the Photography Exhibition 2013.

Besides
having an exhibition, the Trail of Memories Photo Exhibition also featured a theater
coach and photo shooting booth. Moreover, there is a corner titled Faces of

a/p Jayaraman, a Foundation student who visited this exhibition said that the
event was meaningful as he was deeply amazed by the various photography
exhibited.
“I
enjoyed the exhibition very much especially the pet photography zone. In my
opinion, pet photography is the most difficult field to get into as the animals
that you want to photograph are not that easy to get access to,” said a first
year marketing student, Lim See Ying.
In
conjunction with this exhibition, there will be a photography skill talk on 27th
March at 2p.m. The speaker for the talk is Steve Tan, a famous photographer who
specializes in Tailor-made wedding photography. Also, there will be a workshop
to provide an opportunity for students to learn basic photography skills. The
entrance is free for everyone, however, there are limited seat available, so it
will be on a first come first serve basis.
The
event is jointly sponsored by Ayam Brand, Bubblean’s, Danish House, Miaow Miaow
Food Production Sdn Bhd, L&G Lights Gallery Sdn Bhd and Happy Valley
Seafood Retaurant.
