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! :)
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.

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.

Of interest to me are the similar styling as with other Hong Kong designers shown at the show, where shorts are common in the fall / winter collection, apparently.

This is a vertical panorama stitched using seven 7D RAW captures (at 98mm) of the entrance to 中環廣場 Central Plaza in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. Escalators at the entrance of the building are typical in Chinese architecture, as the ever flowing energy is similar to that of water, an important element in 風水 Feng Shui.
I never liked the design of the building. Most of the people in Hong Kong also question the naming of the building when it was built—although its name suggest that it is in 中環 Central, it is in fact located at Wan Chai—which is two MTR stops away.
# About 中環廣場 Central Plaza
This 78-storey, 374 m (1,227 ft) skyscraper was completed in August 1995 and is located at 18 Harbour Road, in Wan Chai on Hong Kong Island in Hong Kong.
It is the third tallest tower in the city after 2 IFC in Central and the ICC in West Kowloon. It was the tallest building in Asia from 1992 to 1996, until the Shun Hing Square in neighbouring Shenzhen was built. Central Plaza surpassed the Bank of China Tower as the tallest building in Hong Kong until the completion of 2IFC.

Here is another panorama shot on Saturday when Edward Snowden supporters protest outside the Hong Kong SAR Central Government Complex.
Unlike the previous shot [1] which was shot at 400mm, this one is shot at 100mm, also handheld. I had originally intended to see if I would be able to stitch the 400mm shots together with the 100mm to get a giant pano with both detail in the people area as well as the context—the flags which designate the location with the flag of Hong Kong and China in the foreground. But alas I was unable to with available software.
But hopefully the two together provide you with comparable details. There was not a lot of available light on Saturday so zooming in will not provide as much detail as the 400mm shot.
The main challenge lies in using body as a robotic arm to cover the entire area. It is not as easy as you think—as in the past I have often missed many areas so for something which I cannot go back and rephotograph, I did overdo it a bit.
Stitched with 70 captures inside Autopano Giga 3.0 with some edits in Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4.

The West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD) is a strategic investment by the Hong Kong Government to meet the long-term infrastructure needs of the arts and cultural sector and to position Hong Kong as a world-class city for contemporary arts and cultural entertainments.
The proposed and currently developing site is approximately 40 hectares and when completed will include 17 arts and cultural venues as well as space for arts education. One of these development will be the M+ Museum, which recently made news in the art world by snatching Lars Nittve to be its executive director.
Nittve was the founding Director of Tate Modern in London, former Director of the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the founding Director of Rooseum – Center for Contemporary Art - in Malmö, Sweden, and Director of the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek, Denmark. Many have high hopes that by involving Nittve it would allow Hong Kong to make a mark in the art world—an area where Hong Kong at the moment quite frankly lacks.
At the moment WKCD is still under heavy construction but WKCD has taken the opportunity to organise some temporary art installations such as the “Mobile M+: Inflation!”, which features inflatable sculptures at the future site of M+.
The site was closed because of weather when I visited it but trust that I will go back again when the weather is good. A roster of international artists are involved, including: Cao Fei (China); Choi Jeong Hwa (South Korea); Jeremy Deller (UK); Jiakun Architects (China); Paul McCarthy (USA); Tomás Saraceno (Argentina); Tam Wai Ping (Hong Kong).

Rainbow Teddy (RT) shared a secret with his new BFF Stitch recently. Although RT has been really happy living on his own, he was secretly hoping for some love life. Luckily, his new BFF Stitch [1] found someone for him from Toysrus—Tigger!
SML: Wow, Tigger, you have grown up a whole lot since I last saw you [2]—almost double in size!
Tigger: I know. I am a big boy now!
RT: Adorable—I love them tall like that—with a long tail.
Tigger: I am so glad that you like it, RT. I do like to bounce around quite a bit though. So you sit still while I bounce, ok?
RT: Weeeee!

This is a handheld panoramic photograph of West Kowloon from the vantage point of 中港城 China Hong Kong City in 尖沙咀 Tsim Sha Tsui stitched together in Hugin using 8 RAW capture with the Canon EOS M + Canon EF 17-40 f/4L USM lens.
As usual with these panorama done handheld, the seams are not perfect, so I left the imperfect seams here as otherwise there is no way to cover the tall 環球貿易廣場 International Commerce Centre (ICC) in the middle.
ICC is the tallest building in Hong Kong as well as the fifth tallest building in the world. Notable tenants include Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley, and ABN-AMRO.
Also in view are the shopping mall 圓方 Elements as well as many luxury condos featuring gigantic Feng Shui holes—a bizarre feature in Hong Kong architecture.

Thank You for Your Visit, Have a Nice Day is a performance piece by Agata Olek (Facebook / Flickr / Portfolio) created for Art in Odd Places:SIGN, an annual festival exploring the odd, ordinary and ingenious in the spectacle of daily life.
Curated by Erin Donnelly and Radhika Subramaniam
Director of AIOP: Ed Woodham
Artist Statement
"Inspired by a uniformed attendant holding the sign Hold the Handrail in a Taipei metro station, I've created this moving installation/performance piece. In wearable sculptures of multicolored crocheted camouflage, my performers appear in various sites on 14th Street, displaying photographs of signs I've collected from different countries that are in emphatic, ironic or amused dialogue with their location."

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.

“Mind the gap” is the universal messaging on metros around the world. The 大學(東鐵)火車站 University MTR station’s platform gap is especially wide because the station was built before the modern trains were built.
Originally known as the Kowloon–Canton Railway (KCR; Traditional Chinese: 九廣鐵路) before merging with the MTR Corporation in 2007, the 東鐵 East Rail was part of a major railway network in Hong Kong since the 1910. In the old days there were no station platform—you get on the train from the ground level—so the gap was not really an issue.
Some gaps along the East Rail are so severe that special “extenders” were built which moves towards the train when the train stops. I will try to find one to show you what I mean the next time I go.
The University MTR station is the railway station for 香港中文大學 The Chinese University of Hong Kong. I know this station well because I spent my first 18 years in Hong Kong living on campus (my dad is a professor at CUHK) before I moved to the US for college.

Purple and gold are the school colors for The Chinese University of Hong Kong (香港中文大學 CUHK), and so I feel that it would be fitting to process this night-time long exposure as such.
In ancient times, purple was the color worn by Roman Emperors and magistrates, and later by Roman Catholic bishops. Since that time, it has been commonly associated with royalty and piety. The color gold is likely to represent the phoenix in the university’s emblem.
This is a 60-second long exposure using the 6D + 24-70 f/2.8L mounted on Manfrotto tripod, remote release with the Canon TC-80N3.

Data is important to me. Some humans commented that I have a lot of tags. If you have no data, sure, you don’t need tags. But if you have 10,000+ media items on Flickr like I do, you tag, you organize, you make sure that everything you do is searchable so that when someone asked you for a photo, you are able to find it under 10 seconds. I can do that. Can you?

1. I use Adobe Lightroom, because it has tight integration with the EXIF metadata storage scheme implemented by Flickr.
2. When I enter information in the title / description area of Lightroom, it automatically populates the relevant fields on Flickr. www.flickr.com/photos/seeminglee/8429087032/
3. When I assign keywords inside Lightroom, they get populated as Flickr tags. Lightroom has an awesome feature which allows you to create synonyms for tags, and is what I currently do for Chinese tags. I am bilingual, Flickr is not. So assigning synonyms inside Lightroom, I tag once but then Flickr shows both Chinese and English on the page. www.flickr.com/photos/seeminglee/8429087032/
4. The JPEG format stores metadata information in the form of EXIF. Add /meta to the Flickr URL and you see it instantly. JPEG EXIF on Flickr is text only, making it very indexable by search engines. All that info you spend time organizing in Lightroom is reflected automatically. www.flickr.com/photos/seeminglee/8429087032/meta
Some people said that they have no idea where I find the time to popular these fields. I don’t. Everything is automatic. Things just get smartly embedded everywhere. With a few scripts anything is possible.
