365.2.207 - 6 September
So Luke's desk was a bit tired and he thought maybe an upgrade. So he carefully measured out the dimensions that would fit the spare room and got his very talented grandfather to make him a new desk. Unfortunately there seems to have been a slight problem with measuring implements that day because the desk has arrived and it is approximately the size of Belgium. I have never seen anything like it! Cheeky sod.
Number 2 is more in an Oriental style, following the techniques of the great contemporary artist, Gao Xingjian, whom I admire greatly.
Original is 8x11 inches.
Kowloon, Hong Kong
The Queen Mary 2 prepares to dock at the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, Hong Kong. Tough shot this one. We knew she was scheduled to dock at 0700 but with first light at 0645 and a deceptively fast moving subject we knew that getting any kind of shot with decent brightness and sharpness was going to be a challenge. She was a bit ahead of schedule and we arrived on the scene just as QM2 was being turned to be pulled into the pier. The sun was just starting to rise, casting some much needed light on the port side facing. We literally had a couple of fleeting minutes to get these shots, so we felt pretty lucky. But after taking all things into account, sometimes you make your own luck.
