Student's photographic skills recognised by the University of Hong Kong










Congratulations need to be extended to Annie Lye (12F) who has achieved great success in a recent prestigious photography competition entitled "Celebrations”. This was organized by the HKU Museum Society to commemorate the university’s centenary. Both amateur and professional photographers were invited to submit their best shots on several themes. Out of 733 submissions the best 100 were selected for exhibition. This selection process was blind so the Judges had no idea who the photographers were.

Four of Annie photographs were selected for the exhibition which was opened by the Vice Chancellor of HKU, Professor Tsui Lap Chee and his wife, Mrs Ellen Tsui, on October 11, 2011. To see Annie’s work framed next to with other wonderfully composed photographs was visually stunning. The tall exhibition space was decorated by a large art/ikibana installation by the famous artist, Masayo Mizukami. Annie also aided on the construction of this piece.

Annie says “I am thrilled to have been involved in this event.
It has been a very encouraging and educational experience for me to see my work displayed against the work of established photographic experts. It was also really inspiring to be able to meet with them and talk to them. I look forward to continuing to develop my photography skills”.

Annie’s winning pieces are attached for your viewing. They were shot in Baiwan on last year’s CAS week Trip and in Portugal during her summer holiday.

Fleming House staff love the dominant red colour of “Day of Fury” so much, (the subject is spent firecrackers after a celebration), that they have asked Annie to donate us a framed copy for the Fleming House office wall. Well, we are the red house after all.

Well done Annie.

Mrs. Worthington and Mr. Tudor – Senior Head and Head of Fleming House
