A 1953 VW Beetle Formed into a Perfect Sphere
This work is by Indonesian artist Ichwan Noor (b. 1963), an artist born in Jakarta and studied at the Indonesian Art Institute, Yogyakarta. He got his idea of this piece from his personal perception that objects are products of a transportation culture, which induced hints and signs of spiritual emotion.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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).

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].

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. :)

彩熊 Rainbow Teddy (RT) volunteers his precious time to help SML out for some video motion tracking.
RT: Oh SML, you seem to fail every time you do motion tracking on your videography.
SML: I know, right? Would you be so kind to appear in this test video so I can test this in a lab condition?
RT: Alright, but make this quick ok? Unlike you, I am very busy.
SML: Thank you!
RT: Enough talk, let’s get moving…

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.

## 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

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.

Usually when you cross any tunnels inside a cab in Hong Kong, you pay double the toll fee so they can travel back.
But some taxi stands are special. This is known as the “過海的士 cross harbour taxis” taxis. As the name suggests, these are taxis which most likely originated from the other side of the 維多利亞港 Victoria Harbour so the cab driver would like a trip back on the other side (either Hong Kong Island side or Kowloon side) so that they can get off work without a long trip without customers. For these rides, the customer pays only single trip toll, so it is a win-win for both the customer and the driver.
Disgruntled cab drives abound during late night if you wish to travel across the harbour where getting a customer to come back with is not easy. This is not quite the reality where I get yelled at every day traveling from Manhattan to Brooklyn but actually made friends with a few cab drivers when I used to take a cab from Brooklyn to Manhattan every morning for work while I lived in New York.
Pictured: rows of red cabs line up at the 過海的士站 Cross-harbour taxi stand in 灣仔駱克道 Lockhart Road, Wan Chai waiting for customers. If you look closer there is a sign saying “Cross-harbour trips only; single toll charge” below the taxi stand sign. I have no idea why the taxi stand sign is half covered.

This photograph is stitched using 15 RAW image shot with the Canon EOS 7D + 70-200 f/4L handheld. Using long lenses create much less distortion for stitching and is generally preferred over wide-angle lenses—though there is more work as there are also more images to stitch. but the bright side of it is that the resulting panoramic photograph is also much higher in resolution.
For pano jobs like this I use Hugin, a free pano stitcher which handles the job much better than Photoshop. After stitching all fifteen of the 16-bit AdobeRGB TIFFs inside Hugin, it is then further processed inside Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4.
As with most handheld pano, it is sometimes challenging for me to figure out which area is covered so you see the staggering. I don’t want to crop it because field of view matters for context. I will probably go back and photograph it with a tripod when I have time in the future.

The 馬鞍山運動場 Ma On Shan Sports Ground is a multi-use sports ground built at 1 Hang Hong Road, Ma On Shan, Sha Tin, Hong Kong at a cost of HK$153 million (~US$19.73 million). It opened in 1999. The sports ground is managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of Hong Kong.
This pano was shot handheld with the Canon EOS 7D + Canon EF 70-200 f/4L USM + EF 1.4x Extender III. The 24 RAW files are first imported to Lightroom 4, then exported as 16-bit AdobeRGB files, and then stitched together using the open source Hugin software using a Rectilinear projection.
Conventional wisdom might suggest that it would be easier to photograph pano using a wide angle lens. The truth is, it is easier to use a long lens if it is possible because telephoto lens have much less geometric distortion and as such makes it easier to stitch even when you don’t have tripod with you.
The resulting TIF flat is 745 MB big with a 40611 x 2292 resolution. If you are still wondering why I am shopping for a RAID config + buying at 24" large format printer. This is why.

I’ve shot a lot of videography but they are often stuck in queue because writing music is not my forte. But I have found a solution. SoundCloud now supports Creative Commons search, and I found this beautiful composition composed by Japanese musician Tomo Nakaguchi. The piece is titled “Swim” and it has the dreamy quality which I seek for this video.
I publish everything via Creative Commons when I can, so it is nice to also be able to use other people’s assets. Creative Commons make the world go round. SML Thank You!

To further make the point that you do not need an expensive camera for photography, here is a long exposure shot using the EOS M with EF-M 22mm f/2 STM prime lens which came with the camera. The main reason that I don’t use this lens is because it requires a lot more work for me when processing—and as you can see the leaves against the sun is really not very well exposed with a lot of chromatic aberration.
But certainly you do not need to use a DSLR with an expensive lens to do long exposure. Just play with the settings. Also I should note that this was taken without a tripod—just banked on the fence.

I got yelled at by the security guard at the car park so I guess I won’t be able to study forms here anymore. I don’t know why but photography seems to always get me into trouble. I just like the way the lines move. They do not identify anything. But then the police or security guards will woo me away—which is very annoying.
I guess I will just need to find a car show in LA near where my sister live instead. Hong Kong does not seem to have any car shows, though the street itself is basically a living car show, with people driving the latest anything all day long.
When I say the latest. I meant the latest—last month I went to do some shoe shopping and picked out a pair which I liked, and the salesman looked at me and said: “You _do_ realise that that model is 2 months old, right?” Like I was crazy or something.
Oh, humans.

Here I tried it with ISO 25600—yes, seriously. The colors of the body is a bit off—but I can’t really tell if it has to do with the lighting or not. At ISO 25600, I can expose at 1/320 sec so overall the image is sharper because the focal length is at 246mm — and as I wrote earlier, technically speaking the minimum speed for sharpness would be 1/246 sec and faster. These rule-of-thumbs are useful when determining on the field whether to push or not.
No noise reduction (NR) has been applied so you can see the grain. It is usable for journalism still, I think.

I have been hunting for a location to photograph the skyline in Central for a while, but it has not been easy, as it is very crowded everywhere.
But I found a spot last night when I went to the City Hall for a drama performance—right here. This is the entrance to City Hall, and it is an empty car park right old side with a perfect view of the entire downtown financial district.
As a handheld panorama, I could not really evaluate the the FOV I needed, so you will see that I did not crop it at all. But the important bits is that I now know where to get to with my tripod. Trust that you will see a better rendering of this on my stream some time in the future.
In the front is the City Hall, then progressing all the way to the right is International Finance Centre (IFC), one of the tallest office buildings in Hong Kong.
This is stitched together using 12 fullres 7D RAW portrait captures handheld. Color balance is a bit of an issue here, so when I go back and work on it again I might process it as black and white.

The first thing I thought of when I saw this painting was the special effects for texting seen at the UK british television series Sherlock, where each SMS typography was juxtaposed directly on the frame.
I have no idea who painted this as there are no visible titles anywhere. It is also closed to impossible to photograph it because it was situated at some really bizarre alley at the back of the gallery.
I do recognise the street though—it seems to be somewhere near Lan Kwai Fong in Hong Kong. The text appears to be mostly nonsensical Cantonese advertising, and I think that it is a commentary on the information-overload age that we are in, always surrounding us — posters, advertising, marketing messages everywhere but for the city dweller it is just a normal day as usual.
If you know the name of the artist please comment below. SML Thank You in advance!

Noting that there seems always a football (soccer) game going on at the Ma On Shan Sports Ground near me, I brought the 6D and the 100-400 with me to see if I can photograph live action sports as I have intended to. It was a lot harder than I thought originally. I shot most of these in ISO 12800 so you see that on the 6D they are quite usable, but the 6D lacks the fast frame rate which the 7D has—but the 7D is not fast enough. Compromises. I might have to think of saving money for a 1Dx at some point…

# Notes
1. Hong Kong Marine Police
The Marine Region is a branch of the Hong Kong Police Force, more widely known as the Marine Police. The marine police patrol 1,651 km2 (637 sq mi) of waters within the territory of Hong Kong, including 263 islands. The Marine Region with about 3,000 officers, and a fleet of 142 in total, made up of 70 launches and 72 craft is the largest of any civil police force. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_Region
水警總區（副名水警；英語：Marine Region，副名：Marine Police）於1842年成立，隸屬於香港警務處行動處行動部，主要責任為維持香港海域及離島的公共安全，在香港海域範圍內執行水上巡邏，防止偷渡及水上走私活動，並且在香港及鄰近海域進行搜索及拯救。水警總區管轄香港1,651平方公里的海域及261個香港島嶼。水師有123艘輪艇，包括62艘警輪和61警艇，共2,424名人員，為世界上最大規模的水上警察。 zh.wikipedia.org/zh-hk/水警總區

SML’s obsession with G continues.
G says that he likes the rendering. He is now using it as his Facebook profile photo. But SML feels that particular rendering is not really a reflection of who G is.
SML asked if G has a choice, which colors would those be. G said he likes black, white, and blue. SML asked which kinds of blue? G said gray blue. SML observed that G likes Olek, and Olek has a lot of camouflaged crochet species. So SML picked a range of gray blues which would appear like camouflaged.
G said that he wanted to turn these into a Tshirt for himself. So SML picked three Pantone swatches blue black to make silkscreening easy. Also by request, designator switched to GWTF — which stands for Generation WTF, an awesome group on Facebook about everything awesome and sweet.
The Pantone specs are:
+ GWTF Light Blue: Pantone 628 C
+ GWTF Blue: Pantone 7702 C
+ GWTF Dark Blue: 7700 C
+ GWTF Black: Pantone Process Black C
Typography:
+ Helvetica Black. Seems something neutral is good for now. Might switch to Berthold Akzidenz Grotesk later because SML prefers that it has more character, But Akzidenz does not have the weight needed and SML does not yet have the time to draw custom fonts for G yet.

Some captures are so challenging to attempt to process in Lightroom I would not even bother to try and I would open it as smart object in Photoshop to process immediately.
The light (sun) is coming directly behind the front gate of the 天街 (“Heavenly Street”), but what I is obviously to show the writing on the gate. In the past it was very challenging because it used to mean having to either do some insane masking (which I generally prefer not to) or letting the sky blow out (which is less ideal but doable). These days H+S (Highlight and Shadow) is the perfect tool for it.
For this particular photo, a fairly heavy handed H+S is applied—see screenshot of particular settings at cl.ly/image/0a081L383e2q I don’t generally recommend pushing tonal width to the max for most photos, but often for extreme cases such as this one it is useful.
Usually if anything is eventually going to print I try to do everything else in Photoshop also but since this one is just intended for Flickr (for now) I imported into Lightroom and tweaked to satisfaction. Mostly I tweaked the sharpening with some heavy masking (hold down “option” to view black+white is a good way to see what you are actually adjusting). Backlit objects usually have fairly severe chromatic aberration so a very heavy-handed chromatic aberration is applied also—normally I don’t do this but like I said, this is an unusual circumstance. Screenshot here: cl.ly/image/3P3F12253L3l Also note in the screenshot that when I work with sky I generally turn on the white point “triangle” so it would show me which areas are blown out. It is easier to work with using Curves in Photoshop so if I eventually decide to print anything I usually rework them but again for Flickr for now it is good enough.
I might eventually turn this into black and white but I did how the clothes that the people are wearing matches the sun glow (yellow) and the cold shadow color (blue) so I picked this capture to process instead of another shot without humans in it.

# About 泰山天街
泰山天街 (“Heavenly Street / Street in the Sky” Tàishān tiān jiē) is a street up on 泰山 (Mount Tai Tàishān) which begins at 南天門 (南天门 “Southern Gate to Heaven” Nán tiānmén) going eastwards and ends at the 碧霞祠 Azure Clouds Temple.
The total length is approximately 一華里 (一华里 1 Chinese mile). The northern section of the street is called 北天街 (“Northern Heavenly Street” Běi tiān jiē). Filled with a diversity of businesses and lodging options, it looks like as city as well as a buzzing street up in the sky, making it an fascinating place to visit. (1 / SML Translate)
泰山天街是指南天門向東到碧霞祠一段街道，全長約一華里南天門向北的一段路，約有100米，稱為北天街，岱頂天街，商舖林立，亦市亦街，形成了特有的風俗．(1 / Google Translate)

Faces are everywhere. I did not take this photo because it looks like a face. I liked the proportion of the forms. But when I started working on it I can’t help but notice the logos from the Transformer movie / toys series. Once registered it is difficult to not see them anymore. Perhaps subconsciously I am drawn to the proportions because it is similar to a face? Feel free to analyse me.
This is a photo of the Ma On Shan MTR station. The ladder like forms are the train tracks. The entire Ma On Shan Line runs parallel and above the highway as an elevated track. The station is located below the tracks in the yellow area, and is connected to two shopping malls.

This is the facade of Jardine House (Chinese: 怡和大廈), one of my favourite architecture in Hong Kong. It was formerly known as Connaught Centre (康樂大廈), but it was renamed some time later. Since I was not aware of its renaming until moving back to Hong Kong in 2012, I deduced that it was likely renamed between 1995-2012. Wikipedia did not say when, but this was the period when I was not living in Hong Kong.
Jardine House is an office tower in Hong Kong. It features these gorgeous circular windows on its facade. With a time-lapse series, it could very possibly be seen playing digital notes, but I don’t yet have access to a secure location in Hong Kong with a view of this architecture, and I am not about to hang out on the street the whole night to photograph that. So until then, here is a still, photographed from the vantage point of City Hall late at night.
Yes this would look very good in black and white also, and it shall be processed as such later on. For now though I think that the disparate yellow lights add a bit of charm to the overall composition so I kept it.

“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.
