Hong Kong 2005

I am back in Hong Kong again - it is always nice to be home.

No one picks us up from the airport this time - I think most people are used to the fact that I don’t live here anymore and it becomes a routine for me to come and go every year.

It was good to see my mum again - it was in May when we last saw each other. It was even longer when I last saw my friends. We had dinner with my mum, Millie and Inni at a restaurant called ‘Ka Kee’ before we left for LKF for a drink.

I like LKF - I always do. It’s so vibrant and always busy. I guess that’s why lonely people like to hang out there - they can always be surrounded by people, who are like themselves.

Of course, there are people like us (me and the girls), who used to spend a fair bit of time there and would love to be back once in a while to pick up the lost memories. We met up with Niki just before we headed home.

I can’t believe I will have to get up so early tomorrow morning to go to the border of China.

Second Photo on File

Picture of the Copenhagen airport
Some time in September, my ‘Copenhagen Airport’ photo was chosen by FILE Magazine. I was gutted to miss the opportunity to see my photo on the front page of the well-respected online photography magazine, but was pleased to see my photo chosen by the editorial team for the second time.

It’s my pleasure to be a contributor for this magazine.

Looking for green space in London

Sunday, September 18th, 2005

Picture of the Lomo LC-A
The first Lomo event I’ve ever been to - The Greenspace Lomography Project in London.

We weren’t sure what it would be like when we saw the invitation, but decided that we should give it a go. It turned out to be a fun day. To my surprise, Brad also borrowed a coloursplash camera and participated in this group execrise.

We picked up the borrowed cameras at the Big Chill Bar in Brick Lane and signed-off our rights to the photos we were going to take. Our journey began there at mid-day and we followed the route set by the organisers: Amira from the lomgraphic society and two friendly helpers, Linda and Karen from their PR company.

Colombia flower market was our second stop after Brick Lane. Docklands was also one the list - we spent some time in Canary Wharf, Mudchute Zoo and Greenwhich before we headed back to the South Bank. We were then asked to take photos of one of the bridges: Waterloo Bridge, London Bridge, Tower Bridge, Southwark Bridge, Blackfriars Bridge and the Millenium Bridge.

We stopped by Piccadilly Circus to complete the last task before heading back to the Big Chill Bar for free Heineken at around 7pm. It was quite a long day, but definitely good fun. I enjoyed meeting other lomo fans (or lomographers).

It was good to see Simon (Black Carrot) again after our brief meeting the day before; we were out taking photos of St.Paul’s Catherdal on Saturday when we were stopped by Simon as he spotted my LC-A camera.
