The Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall, by Siew Bee Lim
The Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall is a performing arts center in the central area of Singapore. The Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall first began as the Town Hall in 1862. In the early 1900s a second public hall was built next to it joined by a clock tower to form a larger complex. It was designed by architectural firm Swan & McLaren, and built between 1902 and 1905 as a memorial hall in honour of Queen Victoria. The complex’s two buildings and a clock tower were joined together by a common corridor, completed in 1909. The complex has since undergone a number of renovations and refurbishment.

Born in 1965 in Singapore, photography was one of the old hobbies of Siew Bee Lim. Now she would like to learn it formally via Light & Composition platform as she believes it’s not too late. Since primary school she is not good in drawing; she doesn’t have artistic hand that some of her classmates have. Nonetheless, she likes reading since young, and would try to appreciate Chinese paintings. Few years after she started working as a Programmer, she took up photography as a hobby. She attended a short course which included a session in the darkroom. In those days, good photographs were dependent on good darkroom skills. It was unlikely that she spent much time in the darkroom. Hence the hobby didn’t last long then. She believes that the present learning experience has a longer way to go.
