BBC Photo Competition

Am thinking of taking part in this. The theme is 'spaces'.

mmmh.

6 entries per person, and I'm thinking of sending in a mix of photos, from Soho, SOAS, Koh Phi Phi, Manchester, Newport and Trafalgar Square.

Have got to write descriptive texts for them. Will post the texts later. Photos, I doubt it. Blogger on this computer doesn't seem to be very comfy with posting big piccies.

Dear Sir,

My name is Weijie Ng.

Attached are my entries for the above-mentioned competition.

There are six photographs.

The first is titled Big Brother. It was taken during a midnight stroll at Trafalgar Square with the boyfriend last year. We were just about the only people there, and had loads of space to ourselves, albeit with 'someone' watching. :p In the photograph, Nelson's Column is at the left hand side, while one of the fountains is in the foreground.

The second is Koh Phi Phi. This was taken in April, a few months after the tsunami. The place was still devastated, with big gaping holes where buildings used to be. However, there was also serenity, beauty and hope.

The third, Reflection, was taken in Manchester. The reflectiveness of the building's surface is certainly eye-catching and helped to make the city centre more attractive as well as to appear more spacious.

The fourth, Bike Stand, was taken at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. The fifth, Chairs, was taken outside one of the coffee places in Soho. Both show interesting shapes of spaces demarcated by the legs of chairs, the bars of the the bicycle stand, etc.

The last photograph, Wire Man, was taken on holiday in Providence, Rhodes Island, USA. Look closely, and you'll see a man emerging out of the water and empty space.

Hope you like the selection of photographs. :)

Regards,
Wei.
