Not mine. I was just photographing Nicolai Howalt's gigantic print at the Silverstein Gallery. It's also not the complete frame of his work because I was shooting with my 24-70 f2.8L and it's not wide enough.
In any case, it's obvious that I dig these studies!

Bruce Silverstein presents Car Crash Studies, a thought provoking photographic study of cars that have been involved in severe and potentially fatal accidents. The series moves between documentation and abstraction. While the car crash studies are typographical in nature, seeming in some instances to be closer to sterile accident report photographs, the subject matter most obviously begs the viewer to confront the human fear of trauma and death.
Although Car Crash Studies is specifically based on cars that have been involved in accidents, Howalt's works rather attempt to portray an abstract, mental state, namely the duality we feel in relation to accidents or catastrophes when experienced from a distance - as spectators. The exhibition at Bruce Silverstein Gallery thus approaches classical themes, but in contemporary interpretation.

13th annual D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® (Sept 25 to Sept 27, 2009)
www.dumboartfestival.org/press_release.html
The three-day multi-site neighborhood-wide event is a one-of-a-kind art happening: where serendipity meets the haphazard and where the unpredictable, spontaneous and downright weird thrive. The now teenage D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® presents touchable, accessible, and interactive art, on a scale that makes it the nation's largest urban forum for experimental art.
Art Under the Bridge is an opportunity for young artists to use any medium imaginable to create temporary projects on-the-spot everywhere and anywhere, completely transforming the Dumbo section of Brooklyn, New York, into a vibrant platform for self-expression. In addition to the 80+ projects throughout the historical post-industrial waterfront span, visitors can tour local artists' studios or check out the indoor video_dumbo, a non-stop program of cutting-edge video art from New York City and around the world.
The Dumbo Arts Center (DAC) has been the exclusive producer of the D.U.M.B.O Art Under the Bridge Festival® since 1997. DAC is a big impact, small non-profit, that in addition to its year-round gallery exhibitions, is committed to preserving Dumbo as a site in New York City where emerging visual artists can experiment in the public domain, while having unprecedented freedom and access to normally off-limit locations.

Buses in Hong Kong serve an important function—it transports people traveling long distances between remote areas and downtown. Although the metro (MTR) is fast, it is also very crowdy. The last thing you want after a day of work is stand inside a compressed train being pushed around.
Pictured is a bus terminal located in Central, the financial district in Hong Kong. It is situated at the ground level of Exchange Square, the building which also houses the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. A time lapse video of this area can be seen earlier in the stream [1].
This 360-degree panorama was stitched together using 15 captures on the 6D + 17-40 f/4L mounted on the Manfrotto 303SPH. Many people walked by as I was photographing this, but you do not really see them as this was shot with a relatively long exposure. I do this intentionally to hide the identity of the pedestrians.

I have been on a roll for panoramas lately, but they are fun.
Bridges have great forms, but so do tunnels. Someone on Google+ commented that they don’t like the traffic in Hong Kong because it treats pedestrians as second-class citizens and stuck them underground—not true.
Tunnels allow pedestrians to cross the road without stopping traffic, so tunnels make it quick for pedestrians and cars alike to go through without stopping. It is a win-win urban-planning design.
On the far side you see some architecture with squares. Everyone in Hong Kong would immediately recognise that it is a school. Like I said before, the architectural forms are fairly standardized and they are instantly recognisable.

Two life-sized nude figures with long braided hair stand in front of a table on top of a Persian rug. A feast is served. It is that of a giant fish killed by arrows. The figures appear like tribal natives, but one is holding an umbrella in the modern era. The only thing that can summarize what is seen best is WTF?! This is the kind of works which I adore—things which although my logical unit cannot process, but I know I would love to live with it over time.
This installation is by Indonesian artist Entang Wiharso (b. 1967). There is not much written about him, except that his intention is “to combine personal, Western and Indonesian mythologies and cast a critical eye on the socio-political conditions of his country” — as with most art reviews, not entirely useful unfortunately.
If I have unlimited budget and can bring home any five items from Art Basel Hong Kong though, this would definitely be one of them. But I can’t quite reason why except that crazyisgood!
…Ironically my other favorite artist from the show, Chiharu Shiota, is also represented by ARNDT — trust that if I am ever in the market for some good works, they will be the one for me to visit.

This is a close up view of one of the nine Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopters currently deployed on the USS Peleliu LHA-5.
The X at the front is the tail rotor, whereas the / in the back is one of the folded main rotor blades which spans 72 ft 2.8 in (22.01 m) when fully extended.
What I find to be particularly interesting is that the blades are marked by color bands in blue, red, black and yellow. I do not know the reasons for them, but I do see a usability rationale: when the weather condition is terrible and especially if you are in combat, being able to quickly communicate to your engineer which blade needs fixing definitely save time. Split second decision might often mean the difference between life and death, no doubt.
I do not know if this is specific to the US Marines or if it is a standard for helicopter designs, but I thought that it is wonderful.
# About the Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion
The CH-53 Sea Stallion is the most common name for the Sikorsky S-65 family of heavy-lift transport helicopters. Originally developed for use by the United States Marine Corps, it is also in service with Germany, Iran, Israel, and Mexico. The United States Air Force operated the HH-53 "Super Jolly Green Giant" during the late- and post-Vietnam War era, updating most of them as the MH-53 Pave Low.

It used to be that I must mount on tripod to do panorama—Not anymore. Hugin, which is open source and thus free, has an uncanny ability to align images. The best part is that it can do so interactively.
Pictured from left to right:
+ 科學園 Science Park (in the foreground). A campus-like environment designed for established technology enterprises as well as startups as venue to promote interaction and innovation at a local as well as global level. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_Science_Park
+ 大埔工業村 Tai Po Industrial Estates (in the background). An industrial zone for Hong Kong industrial factories. It also house the headquarters of Asia Television Limited, which broadcasts one of Hong Kong’s primary television channel ATV Home and ATV World. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tai_Po_Industrial_Estate
+ 八仙嶺 Pat Sin Leng (the great span of mountains). A mountain range located within the Pat Sin Leng Country Park. The name 八仙嶺 literally means “Ridge of the Eight Immortals”, who are famous xian ("immortals; transcendents; fairies") in Chinese Mythology, and symbolizes the eight peaks along the Pat Sin Leng mountain range, each named after a different Immortal. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Sin_Leng
+ 吐露港 Tolo Harbour (the great span of water). In the past pearls were very abundant here. Pearl hunting had been a major industry in Tai Po from Han Dynasty. The hunting lasted until the Ming Dynasty, when the pearl oysters were nearly extinct in the area. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolo_Harbour
+ 聽濤雅苑 Vista Paradiso (the window on the far right). Where SML Universe HKG is located at and where I took this photo. So yeah the view is pretty spectacular here. It is also where most of the photographs from my 寧 Serenity series was taken at.

A series of sculptures using ink, silkscreen, spray paint and enamel on wood with painted aluminum base seen at Michael Werner at Art Basel Hong Kong recently.
These works are not really my cup of tea—but it might have to do with the fact that they are placed against such an overwhelming wall of psychedelic paint.
Individally I do like the pieces, which appear out of the cubist paintings of Picasso, with the medium referencing that of street art. But in this installation view the peripherals stand to distract more so than to add.
Thoughts?

What happens when you string hundreds of hexagonal pieces of mirrors with vibrant concentric stripes together? A magical 3D kaleidoscope, it seems.
This installation titled “Supertaster” by Los Angeles-based artist Pae White is nothing short of being magical. With each step that viewer takes, the sculpture seems to change. And perhaps even more incredible is that its appearance changes depending on where the work was installed, as its myriads of mirrors reflect the sights from its surrounding.
In this stunning work, the insignificant becomes extraordinary. Highly recommended.

I have often formed the opinion that artworks which you cannot relate is not the artwork for you. In usual fashion, I am drawn to works which I find to be slightly bizarre.
From the espresso maker which I am planning to buy, an “object and its unreliable witnesses,” the “talking clock” to the witty form juxtaposed near one”s belly, I find this piece of work to be a feast to the eye.
I haven’t had a chance to speak to the gallerists so I can only respond to this as candidly as I can. I am certain that there will be far more “high-brow” mumbo-jumbo which you can chow down on various art sites. The links are below. Meanwhile as a layman this South African piece is calling to me in more ways than one.
(Note: You do much prefer my nonsensical analysis more so than the impossible-to-read essays written by people who get As in English from Yale, right?)
Seriously WTF. Crazyisgood. SML Love. Highly recommended.

# William Kentridge
William Kentridge (born 28 April 1955) is a South African artist best known for his prints, drawings, and animated films. These are constructed by filming a drawing, making erasures and changes, and filming it again. He continues this process meticulously, giving each change to the drawing a quarter of a second to two seconds' screen time. A single drawing will be altered and filmed this way until the end of a scene. These palimpsest-like drawings are later displayed along with the films as finished pieces of art.

A curved pavement built in stone lead travelers from the peak of 泰山 Mount Tai all the way to the ground. Before the cable cars were built, this was the only way to travel to the top. It still took us an hour on foot from the cable car station to reach the top of the mountain though. To give you a sense of scale, if you zoom in you can see very tiny people walking on the path.

Earlier you see these two buildings side by side [1]. Now these two buildings are back, via the reflective surfae of the Chater House. If you are still not convinced that reflections are fun, perhaps this will?

A man paddles his kayak leisurely at Tolo Harbour in Hong Kong.
Aside from his funny wetsuit which reads “I am very very slow,” I was drawn to the variety of water forms made by his paddle—from the “swoosh” on his left to the tiny droplet splashes on his right. Then of course there is a calm reflection on the water as well as the rather calm sea surface.

An off-duty US Marine hangs out with another marine named Hurst (as seen on his jacket) near some air duct (venting system?) on the USS Peleliu.
Nearly every single man who is sitting by these openings at the ship is using either a cell phone or a computer. Could it be that they have no coverage in international waters? Or perhaps they cannot really check personal messages until they are near navy ports like Hong Kong?
For some shots I could even see what they have on their computer monitors—mostly white screens—clearly reception is an issue everywhere you go, and for sure the freegovwifi in Hong Kong is unusable. Good luck—go get a 3G card next time you are in town!

Summary
Typographic landscape of a city described through visually counting from 1 to 100.
Setup
These were shot with my first digital camera, the Sony Mavica FD7.
Statement
This was my first photography project. It started out as a project for a typography class while I was in college. Like most graphic design assignments at Yale, it was very open ended. We were asked to show the experience of a city through the language of typography. I have always been interested in numbers, and I as such I decided to run around New Haven and photograph numbers which represent the city, from 1 to 100.
The series is to be projected on the wall as slideshow. The numbers are recognizably New Haven, and most who have been in New Haven can recognize the sense of time and space as they go through the series. Some commented that it reminded them of Sesame Street.
I thought of extended this to different neighborhoods in New York, but I never had the time to work on more of them after college, and as such I have only completed the first and only one...
The original series was displayed via a conventional slide projector. In order to best-simulate the original intention on a computer, view the set as a slideshow and set the speed to fast.

Every popular tourist destination comes with at least one or two living statues. Almost all are covered in paint from head to toe. I cannot imagine what a hard life it must be to support one’s living this way, especially at this weather.
Photographed near No.2 Wharf, Circular Quay, Sydney Australia with the Canon EOS 6D + Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L.

My philosophy for HDR is different than most. I prefer them to look natural without much heavy-handed tone-mapping. This HDR image were composed using three captures: 1/6 sec, 1.3 sec and 10 sec.
The building on the left is 君臨天下 The Harbourside Tower 3, a luxury residential condo in West Kowloon, Hong Kong. The architecture to the right is the 環球貿易廣場 International Commerce Centre (ICC). Aside from being Hong Kong’s tallest building, it is also currently the world’s fifth tallest building by height and the world’s third tallest building by floors. It also houses The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong.
This series of photographs were taken on the roof of 圓方 Elements, a large shopping mall located on 1 Austin Road West, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

Since 1975, the BMW Art Car project has been inviting an international roster of artists to utilise their automobiles as canvas for art.
The project was introduced by the French racecar driver and auctioneer Hervé Poulain, starting with Alexander Calder and the CSL 3.0, which Poulain himself raced in the 1975 Le Mans endurance race. Although the cars were intended to be race in the beginning, these days it has shifted the focus somewhat to position BMW as a player in the arts as luxury global brands have been seen to sponsor many art programs.
Pictured is the BMW Art Car #10 seen at Art Basel Hong Kong recently. It was painted by César Manrique, art artist and architect born in Arrecife, Lanzarote, and grew up in the area of San Ginés lagoon. It was painted in 1990 on a BMW 730i.

For over 30 years, Los Angeles and Brooklyn based artist Kenny Scharf has been creating sparkly, pop-ed and monstrous paintings, sculptures and installations featuring imagery from animated cartoons in his childhood.
This particular character is called “Squirtz,” one of the artist’s “classic guys.” The one shown recently at Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 is a red one, though recently an 8-ft tall blue version can be spotted in New York at Paul Kasmin Gallery, The Standard, High Line when the artist has a solo show called “Kolors”.
The juxtaposition between the cheery sculpture and the gallerists show that the line which used to divide street art and fine art is becoming very blurry these days. Sparkly!

13th annual D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® (Sept 25 to Sept 27, 2009)
www.dumboartfestival.org/press_release.html
The three-day multi-site neighborhood-wide event is a one-of-a-kind art happening: where serendipity meets the haphazard and where the unpredictable, spontaneous and downright weird thrive. The now teenage D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® presents touchable, accessible, and interactive art, on a scale that makes it the nation's largest urban forum for experimental art.
Art Under the Bridge is an opportunity for young artists to use any medium imaginable to create temporary projects on-the-spot everywhere and anywhere, completely transforming the Dumbo section of Brooklyn, New York, into a vibrant platform for self-expression. In addition to the 80+ projects throughout the historical post-industrial waterfront span, visitors can tour local artists' studios or check out the indoor video_dumbo, a non-stop program of cutting-edge video art from New York City and around the world.
The Dumbo Arts Center (DAC) has been the exclusive producer of the D.U.M.B.O Art Under the Bridge Festival® since 1997. DAC is a big impact, small non-profit, that in addition to its year-round gallery exhibitions, is committed to preserving Dumbo as a site in New York City where emerging visual artists can experiment in the public domain, while having unprecedented freedom and access to normally off-limit locations.

I went to visit the Falkirk Wheel in Scotland today. It is the only place in the world where I decided to visit after watching a video a recommended video on Facebook — purely because, I believe, the machine (aka the algorithm) has learned my love for crazy yet ingenious solutions to problems.
This spinning engineering marvel connects two canals together in a circling motion. The surrounding area is turned into a park that provides educational resources about engineering principles that inspire the lift, while having lots of kids friendly activities for the entire family to enjoy.
Opened in 2002, this rotating boat lift connects the Forth & Clyde Canal with the Union Canal in central Scotland. It uses a pair of gondolas to raise boats by 24 meters (79 feet) in a single rotation, replacing a previous system of 11 locks and providing a unique and efficient solution for canal transportation.

For a long while now, I have wondered what those weird rocks formation across the harbour is. Now that I can zoom way far, I took a pano and realised that they were not rocks at all. They were in fact Chinese traditional tombstones.
In remote locations in Hong Kong, there lies these traditional burial grounds which have been present before the modern times and dates back far before the Opium War after which the British took over as part of a 99 year lease from China [1].
The 風水 fengshui is excellent here. Its back is against the mountains and it faces the ocean. The area is called Yim Tin Tsai (Chinese: 鹽田仔; literally "Little Salt Field") [2]. It is apparently an island and is connected to the mainland in the north by a road to The Beverely Hills [3], a luxury residential development, and to the island of Ma Shi Chau [4] in the east by a tombolo.
Perhaps even more interesting is that a late neolithic prehistoric site sting back to about 4,000 years ago has been identified on the island. Members of the Hakka Chan (陳) clan were thought to have moved from today’s Shenzhen and settled in Yim Tin Tsai during the 19th century.
I have seen many fishermen boats coming from that vicinity towards me (also in the center of my capture), and it appears that there is in fact a fisherman village as well as a typhoon shelter for boats just across the hill.
(This sounds like a potentially full-blown photojournalism article for me to work on in the future—stay tuned)

I was at 大明湖 Daming Lake working on my 中國旅遊 中国旅游 China Tourism photography series but I was fascinated with the diversity of transportation methods on the 明湖西路 Minghu West Road near the entrance.
There are no traffic lights on the road and the only way to cross it is to brave it over—and it is difficult. The video shows how an old man does it, and it takes quite a bit of effort.

The three-day multi-site neighborhood-wide event is a one-of-a-kind art happening: where serendipity meets the haphazard and where the unpredictable, spontaneous and downright weird thrive. The now teenage D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® presents touchable, accessible, and interactive art, on a scale that makes it the nation's largest urban forum for experimental art.
Art Under the Bridge is an opportunity for young artists to use any medium imaginable to create temporary projects on-the-spot everywhere and anywhere, completely transforming the Dumbo section of Brooklyn, New York, into a vibrant platform for self-expression. In addition to the 80+ projects throughout the historical post-industrial waterfront span, visitors can tour local artists' studios or check out the indoor video_dumbo, a non-stop program of cutting-edge video art from New York City and around the world.

Pure Products USA | Ligorano/Reese Collaboration in Art
Towards a Surreal Politik…
In 1992, we began Pure Products of America as a series of multiple editions focusing on the impact of marketing on politics. Over the past 17 years, the series has expanded and now includes 14 pieces running the gamut from snow globes to underwear (our underwear was the first to pack a political message), to happy meals.
Each object is signed and numbered in various sized editions. When we introduce Pure Products, we send some of them as gifts to government officials. Presidents Obama, Bush, and Clinton, members of the Supreme Court and various Senators and Congressional representatives have all received a pure product at one time or another.
Pure Products also function as discreet elements in installations. The installations The Bible Belt, Pillars of the Clean Order, and Steel Nipples incorporated them in sculptural settings with video and other media. In 2001, we expanded on this idea with the inauguration of an online retail website as part of the project.
Each piece is grounded within a framework that satirizes political values and, often, lampoons morality. Some pure products, like Line Up and Contract with America underwear, became media sensations, reported in the press, on television and radio. The commentary surrounding the artwork is a mixture of absurdity and culture jamming, amplifying how much the media interprets and misinterprets contemporary art and blurs the connections between art, activism and commerce.

Bio
NORA LIGORANO and MARSHALL REESE have collaborated together as Ligorano/Reese since the early 80’s. They use collaboration to blend diverse talents into a singular voice and vision. In the process of creating their work, their individual contributions cross and criss-cross between each other from brainstorming to realizing and making the art on location or in the studio.
They use unusual materials and industrial processes to make their limited edition multiples, videos, sculptures and installations, moving easily from dish towels, underwear, and snow globes, to electronic art and computer controlled interactive installations.
They take and manipulate images, audio and text from old media: print, television, radio and combine that with the new: internet and mobile telecommunications. Their pursuit is an ongoing investigation into the impact of technology on culture and the associations and meanings that the media brings to images, language and speech in politics.
They have an interest with using open forms to involve community interaction, like their drawing contests, Crater Bay Area for the 01 Festival in San Jose and Crater New York at Location1. Installations that combine sculpture with public participation in drawing, within the context of a contest that is also streamed on the internet and in Second Life. Their ice sculptures, “Main Street Meltdown” and “The State of Things” share that same sense of open possibility, fusing natural processes of erosion and decay as flexible durations and markers to determine the experience of the work.
Many of their sculptures and installations reinterpret and reexamine older forms of technology - using objects that signify truth, authority and manifest cultural historicity. Ligorano/Reese use mirrors, clocks, metronomes and medieval codex bindings and combine them with video screens. They have invented micro-projection systems to display films on the head of a pin or the counterweight of a metronome.
Since 2004, they’ve investigated portraiture as a construct of social representation. Line Up (2004-5), their series of portraits of Bush administration officials in mug shot, acknowledges that the mug shot is the preeminent form of portraiture now that more people are incarcerated in the U.S. than any other country in the world. In December, 2007, the exhibition of these photos at the New York Public Library caused a firestorm of controversy with heavy rotation on FoxNews, DrudgeReport’s homepage and many, many other publications.
In 2001, they launched www.pureproductsusa.com, the online retail website for their infamous political art series the Pure Products of America. Since 1992, Ligorano/Reese have made 11 multiples in signed editions of 3 to 100. They are best selling editions at Printed Matter, artbook@ps1 and the New Museum store and have prompted, at least on one occasion, the RNC to threaten them with copyright infringement.

Sometimes when you are little it is hard to get noticed, but fear not, if you are good, you will still be spotted despite the noise around you.
This painting by UK artist Julie Roberts caught my eye because unlike most artworks which are screaming loudly to me, it is a world within its own. It is painted with oil, but the strokes it makes resemble one which looks like markers—with fine lines, accented with dots, rings and bubbles.
I recognize what is depicted almost immediately—it is that of a boys’ boarding school. There is something decidedly British about the scenery, and all have a child-like wonders to them in the distant past. It appears that going through historic archives is part of her process, and it really does show through.
Fine and exquisite. SML Love.

Roseline Koener
Sonata for Two Embers in Early Morning
Tempera and ink on cardboard and cotton
17" x 18", 2009

The Art Of Roseline Koener
“... as a painter I feel that I have in my possession the means of moving others in the direction in which I myself am driven ...”
- Paul Klee, On Modern Art
Her grandfather was a collector, her mother a painter: what did eleven-year-old Roseline Koener want for her twelfth birthday? Oil paints! The following Christmas, her first book on art history arrived, and every week thereafter a book on a different artist. Soon Roseline Koener was studying with the masters. Then came la Cambre (a school founded by members of the Bauhaus) which drew her away not only from the conservatism of her earliest efforts but from art-making itself. In its place she turned to archeology and art history, working after graduation at a succession of museums. Unfulfilled creativity prompted study abroad and travel: Dublin, San Francisco, New York... During this period she learned (from Manuel Neri) “to draw not from seeing, but from feeling”. It was the culture of Africa that transformed her truly. “Its color, fabric, texture” changed the Belgium-born artist into a world cosmopolitan. Roseline Koener’s art strikes one immediately with its color, patterned space and tactile qualities.
Koener’s Westhampton atelier presents the visitor with an array of objects -- ceramics, baskets, linens, paintings and sculptures. Only a shelf’s worth of big bottles of dry pigment divides her workspace from living quarters. The former teems with her works, as well as huge basketfuls of colored fabrics, colored papers, occult-evoking sculpture collections, books, music -- much of this evidence of the wide range of her interest in indigenous cultures.
Roseline Koener’s work process tends to the spontaneous; her media -- fabric and paper foremost among them -- are arranged, layered, inserted, and glued together according to the dictates of color. Markings, dots, and lines then enrich her distinctively beautiful tonal field, bringing into play her highly-developed drawing sense and command of painting technique, until the fragments merge into the single new piece.
Koener’s colors –- her blue, pink, yellow, and green blended with pink and green, purple and blue – make for strong visual poetry; vibrant and intense. She creates them by mixing dry pigment with egg white and an emulsifier, or, alternatively, the dry pigment with ink. The dots or freely drawn lines guide us beyond these exuberant colors into the colors within.
Intellect plus depth of understanding, combined with force of impulse and spontaneity -- all together constitute this artist’s distinctiveness. Her experiences both intellectual and emotional, her biography of courageous embracings and of castings-off, all these have been translated into her work, which guides and pulls us toward her.
“To see the different beauty, to encounter the soul of the world, to discover the universal humanity”, Roseline Koener travels frequently, in-between stints as educator and working artist. Her ultimate goal as artist is to evoke spirituality through the illuminating light of her colors. It should be no surprise that she counts Matisse and Rothko among the artists that enchant her most.

西灣 Sai Van is a bay area [1] at the Macau Peninsula [2], the oldest and most populous part of Macau. In the old times, it used to be a place where merchant ships dock, but it has become a residential area in modern times.
The locals—including schools and public media—pronounced the character 灣 as 環 even though the character suggest otherwise (different intonation in Chinese). Because of this, even the Macau public bus transport Transmac named the place as “西環” instead of “西灣”.
This panorama is stitched using 15 full resolution RAW captures with the 7D and the 24-70. The serial looks off mainly because I originally shot these bracketed intended as HDR but as I wrote earlier the pano processing combined with HDR is somewhat challenging at the moment and I will not attempt it until I have more time in the future.
The unmistakeable architecture for Grand Lisboa (新葡京) [3] can be seen on the far left of the frame, where as the Macau Tower is unfortunately chopped off. One unfortunate reality about these panorama shots is that if I had included the full tower then almost the entire frame would be filled with the sky. I would have had shot these with the 17-40 but I lend it to my dad who was traveling with me and he was way too far away for me to get it back so next time.

Fairytale Fashion
Diana Eng: As a fashion designer who works with science and technology, I've learned about some really amazing things. I've had some great experiences as a designer: sitting front row at fashion week, working at various fashion companies, researching at the University of Bath Mechanical Engineering Dept., being a designer on Project Runway, working in Victoriai's Secret Research and Development department, and co-founding NYC Resistor hacker group. When I was a little girl, I wish that my friends and I knew about some of the things I know today. We would have loved to play with them. Dress-up with super sparkling LED's. Imagining worlds made of deployable structures. I want to share all of the neat things I've learned, because no matter what your age, science and technology are always fun to play with.
You may not be able to sew or solder or draft a pattern or program a microcontroller. But that's okay because Fairytale Fashion is about imagining the possibilities. I will be trying my best to make them happen.
Fairytale Fashion is produced with the support of Eyebeam.

I found it funny that there is a “Manly Ferry” at the pier. Is there a girly ferry somewhere also? It turns out that Manly is a surf beach in Sydney frequented by both locals and tourists. I did eventually go and it did not disappoint.

Someone on Flickr asked to see more photographs of the densely packed residential architecture in Hong Kong. Your wish is my command.
This is a panoramic photograph of 恆安邨恆悅樓 Heng On Estate Heng Yuet House spanning a field-of-view (FOV) of 50-degree (H) x 97-degree (V). It is stitched together using 26 RAW capture on the Canon EOS 7D.
No large format camera? No problem—pano to the rescue. As usual, Hugin is used to do the very challenging stitching. Rectilinear project is used here but it does appear to have a little bit of distortion. Will figure out what the problem was. It might have to do with that I shot this handheld.

The last I saw Bert + Ernie was when I was still living in New York. When I decided to part with them during my international move to Hong Kong, they have decided to go visit Los Angeles for a year. Thankfully, after a year of traveling arrangement logistics with my sister in LA, they have safely arrived in Hong Kong.
The year alone and away from SML has been well to B+E — as now even Bert is starting to have a smile. Here they were seen holding hands during sunset on some rocks at the beach of Wu Kai Sha, pondering on thoughts that they have shared for so many years.

Bao yu (鮑魚) is the common Chinese name given to abalone and also the dried seafood product produced from the adductor muscle of abalone. In dried form, it is a highly prized and expensive ingredient used in Chinese cuisine. In certain regional Chinese cuisines, its status ranks with such priced ingredients as shark’s fin, sea cucumber and bird’s nest. Fresh abalone is rarely used in Chinese cuisine. It is usually purchased in dehydrated form and rehydrated prior to cooking.
I eat a lot of these! They are amazing in soups and congees. Although the larger ones can be quite expensive, the smaller ones are affordable and very suitable for everyday cooking. Aside from individual dried forms, you can often find canned versions of these in supermarkets as well. When cooked, most of the sweetness and freshness will be transferred into the cooking liquids, and enlivening all parts of the dish. Highly recommended.
