I am sure there are also many Singaporeans who have many old pictures of our country decades ago but not many people are so generous as our British friend who is willing to give up his precious collection for the benefits of Singaporeans. Perhaps, you may want to organise a small gathering, limited to a number of people, for viewing of these precious pictures.Redstormnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-23365451795627738382010-02-15T12:14:59.093+08:002010-02-15T12:14:59.093+08:00Thank you very much Derek for your kind offer to u...Thank you very much Derek for your kind offer to use your photographs. There's one on pg 110 of a man removing the cocnut husk. I would certainly like to use that one to illustrate a prcess that took place in front of our house about 2, 3 times a year. We had many coconut trees and we sold the coconuts to some contractors who sent their workers to do this husk removal.<br /><br />Now that I've got to know so many like-minded friends, I think I would not have much difficulty to get help from people like Unk Dicko and Philip Chew who have a wealth of high quality black and white photos. I might be able to get some support from NHB (National Heritage Board) as well.Lam Chun Seehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01762020157703342970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-72936189539886635372010-02-15T10:49:03.413+08:002010-02-15T10:49:03.413+08:00Keeping photo albums around proved to be very usef...Keeping photo albums around proved to be very useful especially for family gatherings or even for friends who visit us. All we need to do is to show them those old photos and a lively conversation would ensue. For chun see if his blog loses steam, he should throw in a few old photos, followed by a descriptive narration, and his blog would spring into life.Zenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07489706873295639555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-64225674622655494922010-02-15T03:55:17.781+08:002010-02-15T03:55:17.781+08:00Hi Chun See,

I think your blogs gathered together will make a great book and would be very popular. I think an ideal publisher would be Monsoon Books in Singapore. I think I read somewhere that Select Books publish also.<br />If you ever want any photos to illustrate you blogs or book, I have plenty and you're welcome to use them. I've just started a 'Sampans, Banyans and Rambutans' Facebook page where I hope people will leave their photos and memories. It's at:<br />http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=318117058080&ref=mf<br />if anyone wants to check it out.<br />Happy Chinese New Year!<br />Thanks and best wishes,<br />Derek.derek taithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06420179495782939026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-53300129858737033512010-02-14T04:44:03.572+08:002010-02-14T04:44:03.572+08:00It's indeed very heartening to hear all this g...It's indeed very heartening to hear all this good news Chun See. Old and original photos are very hard to come by. Those captured by the media and archived are under strict control. The pics are often unclear as in the digitalised papers and only for viewing...not reproduction.<br />Can't wait to see them!<br />I add my thanks to all your generous friends from UK and elsewhere.Unk Dickohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07050766265321887439noreply@blogger.com
