I went to the Ma On Shan Promenade originally to photograph birds, but I couldn’t find any. Instead, crew teams from the City University of Hong Kong (CityU 香港城市大學) were seen rowing a variety of boats in Tolo Harbour.
Some of their tshirts said STGRC but I could not find anything under those designator, but my guess is that it is some kind of rowing club name in Hong Kong as that name does show up on PDF documents on the Hong Kong, China Rowing Association (中國香港賽艇協會) server [1].

I have had shark’s fins many times now but I have never had 斑翅 garoupa fins. The two should not really be compared as they are technically different, but part of the it has the texture of shark’s fins which is quite wonderful.
Pictured is how the dish is served at 翠亨邨 Tsui Hang Village, a cantonese restaurant at the 香港中環新世界大廈 New World Tower in Central, Hong Kong.
The braised garoupa fins come with the tail of the garoupa. Served with Chinese cabbage in a sweet succulent sauce. Super yum. Highly recommended.

Perhaps because of the efficiency of the public transportation system, e-commerce in Hong Kong is not popular – but it more than makes up for it in its category-specific shopping malls.
––
Once infamous for pirated software but today considered one of the cheapest places in Hong Kong (if not the world) to get (or buy parts to build) a personal computer, the Golden Shopping Centre is a prominent IT shopping center. Golden Shopping Center Shops has extensive lines computer products from components like motherboards, RAM, and CPUs, complete systems, to various peripherals. Unlike purely consumer-oriented IT shopping centers, Golden features several stores specializing in professional and esoteric network equipment.
The Golden Shopping Centre is also known for the number of video game stores it contains, where people purchase gaming systems, software and accessories at either a slightly discounted price, or in special in-store packages which might include an extra game or extra accessories. Since the halls are extremely narrow, it is often very congested, especially on weekends. The mall has two floors. The upper floor, Golden Computer Centre (Chinese: 高登電腦中心), mainly sells games and gaming software, while the lower floor, Golden Computer Arcade (Chinese: 黃金電腦商場), focuses on the sales of computer-oriented hardware. They were originally fashion markets named "Golden Shopping Centre" and "Golden Shopping Arcade" respectively.
It was the first computer market in Hong Kong and today "Golden" (高登/黃金) is synonymous to "computer market" in the minds of Hong Kong people even though many other similar computer arcades have been established today.

An artist work at his paintings on the street during the 13th Annual Art Under the Bridge Festival organized by the Dumbo Arts Center in New York City.
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.

“Q = improved hacked ashtray forms” #crazyisgood #hacks
The pot cover edition was not very effective, so I bought a stainless steel strainer today as replacement.
# How it works
1. Stainless steel mixing bowl provides large container surface for cigarettes. Easy to clean and dispose of ash.
2. Instead of using oxygen-elimination as extinguishing method, I fill the bowl with water, easily found inside “smoking lounge.”
3. Strainer prevents cigarette from dropping into water accidentally.
4. Since it sits comfortably onto the bowl, the strainer also provides adequate balance to hold cigarettes in place.
5. When done, simply flip the strainer and cigarette extinguishes in water immediately.
Intended for personal use, but similar designs can be made to fit a party crowd no doubt.
Cost: mixing bowl HK$25 (US$3) 日本城. Strainer HK$18 (US$2) 日本城. Compare to my old Arne Jacobsen Ashtray (US$90) at MOSS NYC this is a bargain.

An onlooker checks out a super long banner with the words: “Defend Democratic Values 真正「愛港者」桿衛民主價值” when protestors march on to the Consulate General of the United States from Chater Garden in Central, Hong Kong.
The Chinese sentence reads: the true lovers of Hong Kong would uphold the value of democracy.
(this pano is stitched with seven 7D RAW captures with the 100-400. As usual, I prefer to shoot panoramas so I can get the necessary resolution otherwise lost with a 17-40 + 6D, for example. The seams of the banner is not perfect as this is a time-variable shot. Also this is my first pano shot for photojournalism)

These tongue-in-cheek paintings by Indian artist Paribartana Mohanty would put a smile on any Mac cultist’s face. Titled “Different Jobs,” they feature Apple’s founder Steve Jobs working in different professions—that of a shoemaker in this case. Will Steve Jobs be as well known should he choose to pursue the field of shoemaking in India? Is that an Indian Jobs?
Seriously WTF. Crazyisgood. SML Love.
(I am not particularly drawn to this style of painting, though it feels like that they are referencing the traditional portrait painting for royals in India. That said, perhaps my Indian friends can appreciate this better than I do.)
P.S. This is the first artist shown at Art Basel who has a Vimeo account!

Eee-eee-aww-aww eee-eee-aww-aww… That was what it sounded like against some tribal beats blasted out from the heavily amplified speakers. These aboriginal tribes painted with patterns and colors could be seen playing their didgeridoos all day long near the pier which was frequented by both locals and tourists.
For the week that I stayed in Sydney, this was most of the music I heard when I walked out the door. It was hypnotically delicious.
Photographed with the Canon EOS 6D + Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L at the Rocks in Sydney, Australia.

Dried seafood goods are called 海味, which literally means the “flavor of the sea”. In particular, 鮑 (鮑魚 abalone), 參 (海參 sea cucumber), 翅 (魚翅 shark’s fin) and 肚 (魚肚/花膠 fish maw) are collectively referred to as the the “Big Four Flavor of the Sea” (四大海味). Other common seafood items that can be dried include fish, shrimp, smelt, Aberdeen, scallops, dried squids, fish maw, mussels, razor clams, works and oysters.
Pictured is a diversity of items being sold by street vendors at the Lau Fau Shan Fish Market in Hong Kong (香港流浮山魚市場).

Fairytale Fashion Show
2010-02-24
7pm - 9pm
Eyebeam
Diana Eng presented the Fairytale Fashion Collection in a technology fashion show on Wed., February 24, 7PM, at Eyebeam. Models hit the runway while an orchestra of circuit bending DJ’s create music from hacked video game consoles.
The Fairytale Fashion Collection uses technology to create magical clothing in real life. Electronics, mechanical engineering, and mathematics are used to create clothing with blooming flowers, changing colors and transforming shapes. Research and development for the Fairytale Fashion collection are shared online at FairytaleFashion.org as an educational tool that teaches about science, math, and technology through fashion. Fairytale Fashion was created with the support of Eyebeam Art and Technology Center, the leading not-for-profit art and technology center in the United States.
Diana Eng is a fashion designer who specializes in technology, math, and science. Her designs range from inflatable clothing to fashions inspired by mechanical engineering.

Diana is currently a resident artist at Eyebeam.
Rainbow Teddy (RT) does his best to maintain balance between Moleskines and travel guides on the Sapien bookcases to help SML test out some newly purchased umbrellas on Taobao.
# Background story
SML used to be able to buy umbrellas from B&H fairly easy. Frankly, umbrellas are not that difficult to make. You can fetch a good brand like the Elinchrom 41" for US$43, or get the most economical (and poorly built) Impact 45" for as low as US$14.95. But when SML went to Tin Cheung in Hong Kong, the salesperson wanted HK$800 (~US$100) for the Elinchrom 41". Are you kidding me? No way.
So SML went to TMall and found an umbrella for 25 RMB (~US$4) and voila [1]. Sure the quality is not as silky smooth as the Elinchrom but to be frank it was actually better than the US$15 Impact from B&H. So all in all SML is very happy with this purchase, and will definitely go onto Taobao for more goodies in the future.

Everything is a blur on a foggy day like this. Amazingly I have already tried expanding the dynamic range a bit with curves, but it still takes quite some effort to extract some details. If you have a sharp eye, you will find two ships sailing amidst the serene waters. The color is so muted that they appear almost like color noise—and they do. But there is something comforting about this blue gray hue, so I kept it.
In Chinese traditional painting, landscape is called 山水. 山 means mountains. 水 means water. Together they mean landscape—as it appears that those are the two key ingredients which makes up a Chinese landscape. Which this should be one. The ships is the 人氣 life force—another necessary ingredient in Chinese painting. No matter how tiny, they add a bit of life to the overall composition. Thus this is me trying to do Chinese painting, through photography.

Leaving the clothes outside the window to air-dry is a Chinese specialty. I didn’t use to think much of it until I have traveled the world and noticed that no one else does this except people in Hong Kong.
So many people does this that metal racks are often built in on the building itself. If the building does not come with a rack to hang anything, people in Hong Kong will hack their way out to crate racks themselves.
Pictured here is the facade of a public housing development in Hong Kong. You can see that several households have decided to create their own outdoor structures. Drying clothes outside the window requires some skills though—it is easy to lose clothes this way, and clearly one of the towels (or tshirt?) has fallen to the floor below.
These outside hanging racks are not unique to public housing either, they are seen everywhere. In more affluent neighbourhoods the racks are usually installed outside of the maids’ quarters.
Crazyisgood. Hong Kong Specialty.

龍舟 Dragon boat is an important part of Chinese culture with over 2000 years of history. Dragon boat races are traditionally held as part of the annual 端午節 Duanwu Festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month on the Chinese Lunar Calendar (usually in June on the Gregorian calendar).
While ‘competition’ has taken place annually for more than 20 centuries as part of religious ceremonies and folk customs, dragon boat racing has emerged in modern times as an international sport, beginning in Hong Kong in 1976.
Pictured is one team practicing their rowing skill today at Tolo Harbour—four months ahead of the game. I suspect that more will be seen in coming months, and I look forward to the spectacle. I was born in the Year of the Dragon and I suspect that my affinity to this watersport is not completely without grounds.

You either love it or you hate it, but one thing is clear—it is impossible to not notice Chinese artist 岳敏君 Yue Minjun’s works, which depict men frozen in laughters.
The large sculpture in the foreground is part of a series titled “The Tao of Laughter,” which was previously on view in Hong Kong at Harbour City in 2012. They were inspired by Chinese traditional philosophical text 道德經 Tao Te Ching [1] written by 老子 Laozi, which supports the power of laughter as a path to inner peace.
Yue is commonly associated with the “Cynical Realism” by art critics. The painting in the background can be seen earlier in the stream [2].

1. The Tao Te Ching, Daodejing, or Dao De Jing (道德經: 道 dào "way"; 德 dé "virtue"; 經 jīng "classic" or "text") also simply referred to as the 老子 Laozi, is a Chinese classic text. According to tradition, it was written around the 6th century BC by the sage Laozi (or Lao Tzu, "Old Master"), a record-keeper at the Zhou Dynasty court, by whose name the text is known in China.

If you are willing to look, interesting forms are everywhere. This look like an art installation to me, but is just marks left on the road. The text is cropped from an upside down “SLOW”, situated next to some road signs. But it is beautiful to my eye. I love seeing typography in the wild—whether they were intended as typography or not. It says something to me.

“Smoking Lounge”, SML Universe, Hong Kong
I am posting this to let you know that I am _well aware_ of the danger of smoking and how it would affect me. Despite this I _choose_ to do it. So no need to tell me why you think it’s not good for my health. I know so.
The only thing that I am not too happy with is that I can't get natural cigarettes in Hong Kong. In New York I used to smoke Nat Sherman's and when I moved to DUMBO I had to switch to American Spirit. While I know that “natural cigarettes” are not healthier – I think that it is at least a little bit better than commercial cigarettes which has 1,300 chemical additives.
Also, I am annoyed with Hong Kong's 19 cigarette rule because previously I was able to buy the good Davidoff at the Hong Kong airport because the tobacco leaves are better. Now I am stuck with smoking either Dunhill or Davidoff International – lesser quality leaves. I am going to see if I can get a carton and just declare taxes the next time I fly out because this is super annoying – it's not that I want to avoid taxes. I simply want a better product.
Recently I heard that a lot of designers in Hong Kong apparently roll their own so I will have to go seek out some local tobacco shop I suppose. I don't think that I would have the capacity to roll 20 cigarettes a day though! :)
ne helps another adjust their outfits. It is with this that the collection title actually made sense.

A bizarre triangular configuration landed in Tolo Harbour tonight. I saw it in the dark and had no idea what it was, so I mounted the camera on a tripod and did a long exposure to see if I can make out what it is, but I cannot.
And this is what the “Bulb” mode is for. To do it though you need to use the Canon TC-80N3 timer remote control. Yes, you can do it by hand but if you do bulb by hand then you risk vibrating the capture.
Again, you see the lens flair sparkles, yes? These are results of small aperture captures. To do photography well you do need to know how the machines function and how to achieve everything you need. And so you learn by trying new things. Do things manually. Everything is manual here: exposure, ISO, focus (when it is dark like this you can’t rely on anything automatic). And when you do things manually it is always so much more fun!

The one thing I noticed from photographing this game is that there really aren’t many captures which contain the ball and the guy. As soon as something of interest is happening, the ball is already fast gone. I feel that it is somewhat important to actually see the ball in the frame so I picked to process this.
This is Luca Marinelli (HKF Number 16). He is the defender for the team and is originally from Varese, Italy [1].
I photograph this across the width of a standard soccer pitch, so this lens is definitely a keeper for sports photography. I would have preferred to get the frame rate of the 7D but this was at night and only the 6D had the usable 12800 ISO, which this is shot at. No Noise Reduction is applied. Like I said, very usable.

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.

With a Crisply fried dough inside and a steamed smooth texture outside, this traditional Hong Kong dim sum is one of my favorite, and can usually only be had in noodle and congee shops. While most places often render the fried dough (twisted cruller) soggy inside, 正斗 Tasty Congee & Noodle Wantun Shop at IFC Central gave a nice rendition. Comes with soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame paste. A nice side dish for the evening.

Joachim Schönfeldt
Four Musicians (moo, roar, chee-ow & yeeeoh)
2010
‘… a musical piece to be performed by musicians. The backdrop is important. It is the inspiration for the composition of the musical piece, the gusto of its performance and also its “speech”.’ – Okwui Enwezor
Four Musicians (moo, roar, chee-ow & yeeeoh) is a performance and sculpture by Joachim Schonfeldt, based on the German folklore tale of the Bremen Town Musicians, as recorded by the Brothers Grimm. In the original tale, a cat, a donkey, a rooster and a dog, past the primes of their lives, leave their masters’ homes, band together and set off on an adventure to Bremen, proving that the whole is stronger than the sum of its parts.
The tale has been retold and interpreted many times in popular culture (film, animation, theatre, literature) and has been represented by a number of contemporary artists (including Maurizio Cattelan).
Four Musicians (moo, roar, chee-ow & yeeeoh) the sculpture substitutes the donkey, dog, cat and rooster with taxidermied animals: an indigenous Nguni cow, a lioness and a vulture – all symbols of African pride and power. The sculpture rests on a base resembling a traditional Zulu shield, in reference to the theme of conflict and security. Schonfeldt also stacks the animals from large to small – an effective inversion of power relations.
The sculpture functions as a backdrop to a performance of original music by James French executed by four musicians stationed opposite the sculpture and playing a selection of cornet, trumpet, trombone, french horn, baritone or tuba. These wind instruments infuse or breathe life back into the inanimate objects or animals.
The artist states:
‘The piece performed by the musicians is in essence the work. I anticipate it to be a bit like the idea of ‘windjammers’, an American circus concept that describes the intensity of the music played during the climax of an act. The stuffed animals are, to a large extent, backdrop: the often mentioned augmentation in my work. The animals augment a ’speech’ here. The speech is represented by the commissioned piece of music performed by four musicians. The four blow instruments give an impression performance of the four animals (moo, roar, chee-ow & yeeoh); ‘A full breath of air’ perhaps the operative idea. The piece of music is of a circus-band nature and very intense, performed at high pace and leaving all "breathless"’.

Give me a camera, and I am never bored.
The urban life is filled with deadweight time. For this photo, I was waiting for the bus to go home. But once I have a camera in hand then I can be stuck in traffic all day long without a moment of boredom.
This is why there is a photography series for shopping malls, a photography series for human logistics, a photography for almost everything—even for when I go to bathrooms.
Photography is my creative outlet. It brings me happiness. It prevents me from killing myself. It is in many ways my biohack. I have ADHD+Bipolar, so I get bored very easily. But photography keeps life interesting to me. And having an interesting life is what makes life worthy to live for.

Fairytale Fashion Show
2010-02-24
7pm - 9pm
Eyebeam
Diana Eng presented the Fairytale Fashion Collection in a technology fashion show on Wed., February 24, 7PM, at Eyebeam. Models hit the runway while an orchestra of circuit bending DJ’s create music from hacked video game consoles.
The Fairytale Fashion Collection uses technology to create magical clothing in real life. Electronics, mechanical engineering, and mathematics are used to create clothing with blooming flowers, changing colors and transforming shapes. Research and development for the Fairytale Fashion collection are shared online at FairytaleFashion.org as an educational tool that teaches about science, math, and technology through fashion. Fairytale Fashion was created with the support of Eyebeam Art and Technology Center, the leading not-for-profit art and technology center in the United States.
Diana Eng is a fashion designer who specializes in technology, math, and science. Her designs range from inflatable clothing to fashions inspired by mechanical engineering. She is a designer from Bravo’s Emmy nominated TV show, Project Runway season 2 and author of Fashion Geek: Clothes, Accessories, Tech. Diana is cofounder of NYC Resistor hacker group. Diana is currently a resident artist at Eyebeam.
All 6 looks. For men and women. Title of the collection is “Steipnir in pastel” but I wonder if it was a typo and that it was supposedly “Sleipnir in pastel”.

Rainy day is the perfect time for photography. Not only is the contrast relatively low, the reflective surface on the floor adds interests to almost all compositions.
The faces are cropped off here to hide the athletes’ identities, but the essence of their playing is all there.
This is, as usual, a photograph by requests by some of my social media friends in Europe—specifically they asked to see photographs of Chinese men playing all kinds of random sports. Your wish is my command.

Richard Patterson (born 1963 in Leatherhead, Surrey) is an English artist and one of the Young British Artists (YBAs).
YBA is essentially a collective born out of a group show which successfully got its relevant media attention because of various marketing strategy of getting “important people” to notice them. Before the age of Internet / social media, getting “taste makers” to give a positive review appears to jump start your career quite nicely.
So what is the significance to his green butt of a toy minotaur figure? If you somehow fell in love with the YBAs many years ago then you would love it regardless what is on the paint. For the recently initiated, I do not see much in this judging purely from a singular art work point of view.
It is cute. That’s about it. If you are looking to art as a financial investment though, it is worth a look.

Crying in Public by Civic Center @civctr vimeo.com/59738042 #hk #cn #art
The world around us is plastered with messages telling us how to dress, what to drink, and how to behave. DETOUR 2012, Design Renegade, is an experiment in reclaiming our public place, to restore a sense of dignity, curiosity, and basic empathy.
Crying in Public is an experiment in defining the city by our emotions. Through a series of street signs, stickers, and chalkboards, passers-by are prompted to pause, reflect, and consider their emotional connection to the city: “Where was the last place you cried?” “Where was your first kiss?” Other signs will redefine specific and often overlooked alleys, parks, and verandas as ideal places for specific emotions like: “This is a good place to feel calm” or “This is a good place to freak out.”
Removable vinyl stickers with similar messaging will be distributed across Wan Chai, encouraging citizens to claim their own special places throughout the city. All these materials will encourage people to share their stories on a website customised for the project.
Civic Center is a creative studio based in New Orleans. Founded by Candy Chang and James A. Reeves in 2010, Civic Center blend art, design, education, writing, and music into projects inspired by cities. Civic Center believes that our public spaces should spark conversation among strangers, make the machinery of the city more accessible, and restore a sense of dignity to all.
