The story of Crossing Bridges began in 2004 when Singapore and Indonesia's largest photography forums decided that it was about time we started making friends with forums from around Asia
It was a humble beginning birthed in Jogjakarta when Clubsnap and Fotografer.net both sent delegations for a joint meet-up and shoot in this historic city and home to Borobodur and the Javanese heartlands
Young Willy Foo discussing with Photo Editor of Kompas newspaper (Indonesia's largest circulating) Arbain Remby
Food was simple, accomodations were simple but friendships created were so warm and so lasting
This first edition of Crossing Bridges also set the tone for future editions of Crossing Bridges ..... intense shooting, intense friend-making, catching up on sleep while on the move .... such was and is the intensity of Crossing Bridges every year regardless of which country it was held in
Already even in 2004.... personalities that shape Singapore photography today started with young humble ideals
Can you spot them ?
Gwen Lee , a young lass then , today the Chairperson of International Photography Festival and Director of 2902 Gallery
Willy Foo, a strapping young lad then, today a multiple award winner, top Imaging technopreneur and the boss of Willy Foo LiveStudios
Crossing Bridges through the years continue to change the lives of participants with many turning professional , creating their own personal bridges regionally, dedicating their lives to worthy causes and spreading the love for story-telling through photography
