Due to business commitments over the past few years, I haven’t been doing as much as I would have like for my heritage, history, preservation and conservation fields, I would take this #OurSGHeritage Photography Contest to work on my Intangible Cultural Heritage segments, to kickstart a new long term personal photography project. Do visit my Flickr photographs collection and check out my personal #OurSGHeritage documentation over the years!
