First, I have to learn some photography. Anyways, it looks like this may be a good place to start. Heard there was a photography course earlier but there was no news about it here.
This Photo Bazaar is a very good innitiative. Not just to sell photos but to get together and socialize among photographers. Keep up the good work.
Cheers

Well we do appreciate it as a beginning for a brighter tomorrow. The thing is still we don’t have rights to perform our intelligence with our shooting machine in Maldives or in other places. Please find us the rights to do this.
We all are behind you to perform what is needed to do this.

This sounds like a great event. How can photographers participate in this event and in this Association? I’m eager to know if there are any Maldivian Photographers involved in this association.
Also could you let us know who the board members of this NGO is, and if possible links to their photographic works and education (where available). Or is this only for hobbyists? I’m sorry for the comment, but I couldn’t find that on the about page, and before a Ministry endorses a group of people as photographers I think they would have considered something. I hope this association can and will value photography as an art and help “promote and develop the art and profession of photography”.

Hope this works out.
Much better idea than the “main event” imo…
