UpperOne

 
As heard from a forum that UpperOne will be closed next month, I ask my schoolmate to go there for dinner without hesitation.

As my secondary school is nearby, sometimes we went there for lunch during those old days.

When I was a kid, parents brought me to this restaurant for big meals too.

It is sad to learn about this sad news.


Seems many people attracted by this news.

You need to put incense cones inside his body.

The good thing is, it is made in Germany.

I love German products.

You can find them by making a search on keyword "German smoker".

I don't have the mood and time to cook recently.

Cooked this snack tonight.

Cuttlefish in black bean and chilli sauce.

Could you distinguish cuttlefish and squid properly?






Open your mouth!
 
   

Stream

 
You can only see this stream when there is heavy rain.

I somehow like heavy rain, it saves my time to wash my car.

New York Times

 
Once again, my naughty thing was being published in New York Times.

"By most accounts, the first successful MuVo-to-camera transplant was performed in early January by an amateur photographer in Hong Kong, Andy Mack, who documented the straightforward procedure at his Web site. His example was widely disseminated online, and enthusiastically followed."

Squid fishing

 
Thanks Sharon for inviting me to squid fishing.

Squid fishing is one of the popular activities in Hong Kong from May to July.

You don't need bate for fishing squids, what you need are hook, fishing line, drinking straw(to glow in the dark when attached to the hook) and a strong light.

You can only fish squids at night. They will come when they see strong lights.




Muimui and her boyfriend.




One of them is caught by me, that's the only one I caught.


Yummy!


This kid is so cute, if you ask him why his hand is shaking, he will say he is adding energy to himself. He is overdosed on cartoons. :-P
 
   

Dumpling

 
Go to this place if you like dumplings.

It is opened by my friend's mom.


at Chuang's Hunghom Plaza, Wuhu Street.
 
   

Garfield

Maybe I like weaving. :-P

Del Gesu

 
In my hands is one of the finest and most expensive violins in the world.

It is a 1732 Guarneri Del Gesu "Ex-Ferni" which is worth for 5 million US Dollars.

My playing is an insult to the instrument. (joker)

Generous

 
Jeff Foster, the author of many photoshop and digital video books sent me a copy of his latest book.

After Effects and Photoshop: Animation and Production Effects for DV and Film

Well organized with clearly illustrated examples. I will finish reading it soon as I want to learn After Effects at this time being.





Thanks!

Mood

 
Ever tried capturing portraits in complete darkness?

Unlike using flash light, the nightshot function in Sony digital cameras can well preseve the mood.

However, you need to have a pair of steady hands. These photos are hand-held for 1 sec.





 
   

Advertisement

 
There were two photographers that day and I was one of them. My friend Steve said those photos were taken by me.

I don't mind my photos being used in an ad without being paid. As it was my friend's decision.

Thanks Benna for the scan.
 
   

Cold cuts

 
Sometimes I like to buy cold cuts for dinner.

 
   

Offend

 
Saif suggested me to remove some photos from my new Dubai album as he thinks those photos disrespect Muslims, particularly people from his country. Those photos are showing faces of Muslims women.

I struggled for a while. One thing I like my website is that I can do whatever I want with it. That's my right! Plus I didn't mean to disrespect. I just show what I saw during my trip.

However, of course my website doesn't mean to offend anyone, therefore I decided to remove them finally.

It is nice to have wedding photos here in Stanley.

Smart decision.

Camel ride

 
Added a Camel Ride album.

A happy day.

 
   

Dubai

 
Added a Dubai album.

I stayed in Dubai for half day only. It is a shopping country, not many places for sight-seeing. One day is enough.

Fancl House

 
Last year, I helped my friend to take wedding photos.

Someone told me that those photos were being used in a Fancl House ad months ago.

If you have some outdated Hong Kong magazines (those several months ago), please check whether my photos appeared in Fancl ad. I want a copy!


Not exactly this photo, but should be related to this couple.

Portraits

 
Though many requested thoughout the years, I rarely do portraits for girls.

I don't know why, I am not too interested. I'd rather take pictures of insects. (joker)

Benna once told me why and I agreed.

Portraits of pretty girls are lack of content.

The other reason is I think many people can take better portraits than me, I am not too good at that. Maybe I don't really know how to pose a model properly.

Here are what I did ten years ago when I was 19.

Protest

 
Today is the hottest day of the year, and it is the hottest 1-Jul in 66 years.

The protest is more subtle this year, though the number of people joined is about the same as last year. Which is half a million.

I was just a passerby for two seconds, however, the world is so small, I saw my friend Joyce in the crowd.



 
   

Report

 
Saif wants to know the condition of the ecosphere I bought in Jan.

After about five months, the biggest of the three shrimps died and decomposed. The other two are fine.
