Pinoy in Singapore

Here’s something all you photographers and enthusiasts (like myself) would likely be interested in:

PEMSEA and HP Philippines present the East Asian Seas Congress Regional Photo Contest with the theme, “The Coast, The Ocean, My Community.”

Contest entries should demonstrate local actions/implementation and good practices in sustainable coastal and ocean protection, development and management. Entries can show local and national initiatives that address natural and man-made hazard prevention and management; habitat protection, restoration and management; water use and supply management; food security and livelihood management and pollution reduction and waste management.The contest is open to nationals of the East Asian region, and is divided into three (3) categories:

• Youth category - for amateur practitioners who are college students or young professionals, between 18 and 25 years of age.
• Hobbyist/Amateur category - for amateur practitioners, beyond 25 years of age, who pursue photography outside of his/her regular occupation, engaged primarily for personal fulfillment.
• Professional category - professional practitioners who derive income from the sale of photographs and/or provision of photographic services.

I just sold my dSLR, need to get my new one fast!

I know for one that there’s a group in Singapore that does coastal clean ups.  One of the things I like about Singapore best is its environmental consciousness.  I guess it comes out of being a small country with hardly any natural resources.  Most of the time, only when the resources are/become scarce that people truly appreciate its value.
