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)

Design Interact: Web Site of the Week (www.designinteract.com/sow/122004/)
Week of December 20: Project Rebirth Web Site
Project Rebirth is an online chronicle of the rebuilding of the World Trade Center site. As immediate and compelling as a physical visit, this project gives people the opportunity to observe and share in the progress of the reconstruction.
Newly released at the time the team was considering technical specifications, thisProject Rebirth Web site site uses the FlashMX development environment to full effect. Functioning as a portal to extensive content, the beauty of this Web site lies in its ability to be current and historical. With a visual design that appropriately takes a back seat to the content, it records ideas, images and interviews in their original context while also allowing for their evolution.
Primary content consists of a series of video images (presented in a timeline format) captured by six, 35mm time-lapse cameras positioned by Project Rebirth around the World Trade Center site. They shoot one frame every five minutes—and will continue to do so for ten years. The images enable the viewing of the rebuild as it occurs on any date; in seconds, visitors can see the footage of a single day. There are also interviews with reconstruction overseers, journals by filmmakers and video of major milestones in the redevelopment efforts.
Project Rebirth Web siteThe key challenge for the developers was to create an interface that would incorporate what would ultimately be ten years of film footage, that didn’t inundate visitors and yet communicated the passage of substantial amounts of time. Their solution is an interactive, XML-driven timeline that delivers fluid viewing of time-lapse footage. It provides an appropriate time-based metaphor that also does a nice job of integrating video, audio, imagery and text-based content into a single interface. The time-based experience allows access to any moment in time and provides the ability to navigate the Web site by date and/or event. Our one complaint: The link from the home page, to this main feature, looks far too much like header art. We would have liked to see billing more in line with its importance.
This collaborative effort between Project Rebirth and IconNicholson began in the summer of 2003 and the site launched in September 2004. On average, visitors are staying on the site 19 minutes, which is significant in comparison to Internet-wide stays at sites with similar content. Interestingly, international users comprise 30% of all visitors.

Photo by request. Chinese men playing soccer at night. Panorama stitched using 17 7D RAW captures with the 17-40 f/4L. Again, seams are not perfect and you might seem more players then there really are because it is technically a time-lapsed image.

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.

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!

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.

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.

An international roster of photojournalists stood by at the footbridge crossing Garden Road between Cheung Kong Centre and Bank of China Tower waiting for the rally to go underneath them.
Every time I go do photojournalism I would notice people trying to get a spot in the front. Actually the best vantage point is not down there—it’s up there. Grab a telephoto lens and start shooting.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

“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.

Pano photography is always challenging to crop because often you will need to decide which parts are more interesting and which part can be taken out because the rendered image is often not in rectangular form. As usual, processing the same image in black and white afforded much more room for creative freedom.

The different versions use a different pano distortion adjustment algorithm so dimension varies.

## Black and white
+ Opened color layered file into Photoshop
+ Adjust Black and White via manual colour filters
+ Apply resulting image with a small amount (~20%) of large-radius USM and set layer to Soft Light (I use this technique a lot to give some “clarity” to the image without over-sharpening things)
+ Import back into Lightroom 4 and use Manual Distortion to “wrap” image further in order to extract more bits in the originally pano’d photo which was in an arch

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.

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.

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!

Joel Shapiro (born September 27, 1941 New York City, New York) is an American sculptor renowned for his dynamic work composed of simple rectangular shapes. He grew up in Sunnyside, Queens, New York. When he was twenty-two he lived in India for two years while in the Peace Corps.
While serving his Peace Corp time in India, Shapiro saw many Indian art works, and has said that “India gave me the sense of … the possibility of being an artist.” In India “Art was pervasive and integral to the society”, and he has said that “the struggle in my work to find a structure that reflects real psychological states may well use Indian sculpture as a model.”
His early work is characterized by some by its small size, but Shapiro has discounted this perception, describing his early works as, “all about scale and the small size was an aspect of their scale”.
His later works (pictured) can have the appearance of flying, falling, being impossibly suspended in space, and/or defying gravity. He has said about this shift in his work that he “wanted to make work that stood on its own, and wasn’t limited by architecture and by the ground and the wall and right angles.”
He received a B.A. in 1964 and an M.A. in 1969 from New York University.
Shapiro is represented by The Pace Gallery in New York and Galerie Daniel Templon in Paris. He lives and works in New York City, with a summer house on the shore of Lake Champlain, in Westport, New York. He is married to the artist Ellen Phelan.

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.

I have originally sequenced this as 4K cinema output, but it seems that not a single video sharing site supports beyond 1080p so to save some bandwidth and rendering time, this is hereby rendered as 1080p.
Each frame in this 24fps videography is a full-resolution RAW capture. The photographs have not been tweaked so I have a record of what the RAW capture is like.
A total of 1,014 frames full resolution RAW files are used to create this video which span 42 seconds during playback at 24fps spanning 10080 seconds or 2.8 hours in capture time.
This is mainly a technical proof-of-concept so I can validate my hunch that working on time-lapse videography by enables better source as well as final render. Also, there is no way that I would be able to photograph something spanning 3 hours on video. But doing this at 10-second intervals only took up 11 GB on the 32 GB card.
I will try to do some capture in longer intervals in the future.
# Soundtrack
These counterpoints were written in 2007 as a remix—writing I like writing counterpoints but I don’t really have time to write something original for this video so it is stuck here for convenience. soundcloud.com/seeminglee/arcus-sml-alto-recorder-solo-sy... (mainly as without music it might be too boring for most to watch).

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.

A team of football (soccer) players hanging out at the shed next to the the soccer pitch after a game at the 馬鞍山遊樂場人造草地足球場 Ma On Shan Recreation Ground Artificial Turf Soccer Pitch in Hong Kong.
Chinese have great genes. When I saw them play I had assumed that they were all teenagers, but judging from this photo they are probably mostly older than me—which would explain why they can be playing football at this hour on a weekday. :)

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.

The Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 STM lens has a fairly severe vignette. When I switched on the profile lens corrections settings in Lightroom 4, I can see it fairly well. But for some captures the vignette is not really a bad thing—especially when what you wish to focus on is in the center of the frame.

More works by Korean artist 양혜규 Haegue Yang (b. 1971 Seoul, South Korea).
In the foreground, “Feather Dew Point - Blue Orbit” is a mixed media installation featuring a cluster of insect-like creatures hovering around globes, light bulbs and wires. This appear to be part of the artist’s “Series of Vulnerable Arrangement” which was shown in 2009 at Kukje Gallery.
In the background titled “Kaleidoscopic Jewel Glow - Trustworthy #193” is a series of abstract paper collage construction using various envelope security patterns and grid paper.
Haegue Yang’s work has a more academic approach and follow a more western tradition despite her Korean upbringing. Not my favorite series from her, though I do love her window blind installation very much seen earlier in my stream [1].
