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

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

彩熊 Rainbow Teddy (RT) is super psyched with the EOS M.
“Wow, this camera is the bomb!” RT said. “Finally there is a camera that I can control. I don’t even need a shutter release. I just point and it focuses. And the mirrorless body is light like me [1]. Best yet, I can even reach the lens for zooming.”
Pictured here with the Canon EF 17-40 f/4L USM lens [2], the Canon EOS M is the first mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera produced by Canon [3]. It is effectively a miniature version of the Canon EOS 650D with a simpler physical interface. Like the 7D, it contains a 18 megapixel APS-C crop frame CMOS chip. But unlike the 7D, it's focusing performance is rather poor.
However its saving grace is its ability to do full HD 1080p videography in AI servo mode—which is what SML now uses for lightweight travel use. Also now semi-permanently mounted on tripod to do videography for the Serenity series. Recommended.

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

Healthy alternatives for Chinese New Year candies prepared by my 二嬸 auntie when I went over to 拜年 (greetings for the New Year) — a Chinese traditional custom where you visit different families for good luck in the next year.
Incentives for kids to go is that you receive red pockets with $$$ in them. Only people who are married need to give out red pockets—which means that until gay marriage is legalised and SML has a mate, technically speaking SML never had to give out anything and can receive cash “prizes” every year. Like I said, being gay has its perks. :)

The 嶺大划艇 Lingnan University Rowing Team took their boat out from storage towards the docks to train for a university championship to be held on the next day.
When these boys walk towards me, I would have guessed that they were much younger. But then I noticed the sign on the boat, which reads “Lingnan University,” that’s when I realised that they were in fact university students in Hong Kong.
As they became aware of the camera, a few managed to make the defacto hand-sign in Asia—V for Victory. Personally I would have wished that they would just go about their own business, but I suppose it is very hard to not notice a giant telephoto lens pointing at them from just a few meters away…

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

Hong Kong’s bus stops are very long. Each stops usually have space to allow multiple buses “park” at the same time. They usually run along the highway, so having space for multiple buses to stop along the way is necessary. This enables high speed travel with stops along major districts.
You know why New York buses are inefficient? Because in New York every block is a traffic light. In Hong Kong the urban planning is different. Buses can run on highway all the time while sections of the pedestrian walk is crafted out for bus to stop.

I have a camera annex in my closet. You won’t see the Canon EOS 7D or the Canon EOS M here because those body is always with me in the camera bag. You also won’t see the 24-70 or the 17-40 here as those are semi-permanent fixture on the 7D and EOS M respectively. What you will find here are, from left to right (approximately):
1. Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite Flash. The perfect flash for the 100 f/2.8, but with limited use. Recommended if you do macro photography, otherwise it is a bit pricey. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/239656-USA/Canon_2357A002_...
2. Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM Lens. Lightweight with amazing lens resolution. Highly recommended. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/183198-USA/Canon_2578A002_...
3. PocketWizard FlexTT5 Transceiver Radio Slave for Canon E-TTL II System. Before the Canon 600EX was introduced, this is the only way to do radio flash. Useful. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/605720-REG/PocketWizard_80...
4. PocketWizard MiniTT1 Radio Slave Transmitter for Canon E-TTL & E-TTL II Systems. This one is mounted on the camera body. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/605713-REG/PocketWizard_80...
5. Canon Speedlite 430EX. Pretty good though I am letting my dad use it because differences in power output makes it difficult to do manual strobes with the 580EX. Now replaced by 430EX II: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/571297-USA/Canon_2805B002_...
6. Canon Speedlite 580EX. Super bright goodness. Highly recommended. Now replaced by 580EX II: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/486706-USA/Canon_1946B002_...
7. Canon CP-E4 Compact Battery Pack. Improves flash recycle times by 3 times for the 580EX. Nothing special about it except that it houses 8 more AA batteries so I guess that it just cycles faster. If you use Ni-MH rechargeable batteries it should already be pretty fast. Though Ni-MHx12 is obviously super crazy fast. Recommended. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/498738-REG/Canon_1947B001_...
8. Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro Autofocus Lens. The non-L lens which has image quality which rivals other L lenses. This is a must-buy. Good for macro as well as portraits. Highly recommended. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/194451-USA/Canon_4657A006_...
9. Canon Angle Finder C. Allows you to adjust viewing angle while providing 1.25x to 2.5x switchable magnification. Super useful for doing macros and other odd camera placement when eyeing from the back is not really possible. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/183200-REG/Canon_2882A001_...
10. Canon EOS 10D. My first DSLR. 6.3 megapixel ACPS-C crop frame goodness. It is at its 60,000+ cycles and still going strong. Used as my spare as well as perms-loan to dad. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_10D
11. Canon EOS 100. My first SLR bought by my dad when I went to Yale in 1995. It is my only film camera and yes it still works. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_100
12. Canon PowerShot G12. My point+shoot camera. Highly recommended for photographers but not recommended for amateurs, this shoots JPEG and RAW on SD cards. 10MP CCD sensor with the usual Av / Tv / Manual functions. But for amateurs it can be somewhat daunting—my dad gave up on it and gave it back to me. But he is using the 10D and loving it. This is why I told amateur photographers that they should just get a DSLR because it is easier. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/734743-REG/Canon_4342B001_...
13. Canon PowerShot G2. My first Canon P+S. I loved it. I don’t know if it still works but after moving back to Hong Kong I found something in the memory card taken in 2007. Super awesome. Recommended. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_PowerShot_G
14. Canon ST-E2 Speedlite Transmitter. Before Canon got into the radio transmitting game, this is the only wireless off-camera flash controller. (although the MT-24EX also can do that up to 3 groups). The ST-E2 controls up to 2 groups. Super useful is that it emits AF-assist beam in very low-light conditions so I sometimes mount it on the camera even when I don’t use flash. Recommended. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/164264-REG/Canon_2478A002_...

Balancing with the subwoofer [1] as well as the strap for the camera, 彩熊 Rainbow Teddy (RT) mounted the Canon EOS 7D [2] first on the Canon BG-E7 Battery Grip [3] onto the Manfrotto 3030 Pan/Tilt Head with Quick Release [4] on the Manfrotto 190XPROB tripod [5].
“Together with the Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L USM lens [6], this setup weighs more than 1000 times my total weight,” RT said. “My hands cannot really reach the shutter release on the camera, but thankfully the battery grip has another shutter release which allows me to do portrait photography easy. Perfect for me!”
# Notes
1. Canton AS 22 is a 70-Watt, a 220mm woofer, 22-150 Hz frequency response, floor-standing bass-reflex subwoofer. Recommended. canton.de
2. The Canon EOS 7D is an 18.0 effective megapixel APS-C crop CMOS digital single-lens reflex camera made by Canon. Recommended. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_7D
3. BG-E7 grip allows use of 6 AA cells, a single LP-E6 or two LP-E6 batteries. Highly recommended. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_7D
4. Now replaced by the Manfrotto 804RC2 and 200PL-14 QR Plate, 3030 is a popular tripod head made in Italy by Manfrotto. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/434497-REG/Manfrotto_804RC...
5. Newly redesigned, the Manfrotto 190XB is lighter in weight and slightly more compact. The ergonomics of the leg angle release mechanism and the quick action leg locks themselves have also been greatly improved. Highly recommended. www.manfrotto.com/aluminium-tripod-black-without-head
6. The Canon EF 24–70mm is a family of professional EF mount wide-to-normal zoom lenses manufactured and sold by Canon. The first of the family, the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L (pictured), was introduced in 2002 to replace the well-regarded 28-70mm f/2.8L. Two later versions were announced in 2012. Highly recommended. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EF_24%E2%80%9370mm_lens

The USS Peleliu is currently in Hong Kong. I was made aware of this fact via Billy Clarke—a writer / photographer / journalist I recently met on Instagram. I took the 100-400 with me and took a whole bunch of photos. It is currently parked at Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui, and you can get the best view of the ship if you get on the roof where the car park is.
Obviously I saw a ton of photographers there today. Most of them have very wide angle lenses, and for sure I understand why they do, because the USS Peleliu is a large ship. But in usual SML fashion, I am mostly interested in photographing microscope of things of interest to me—and in this case, it’s the gigantic typography on the side of the ship as well as the always spectacular positioning of vehicles hand in the middle of nowhere on the side “facade” of the ship.
The number 5 has a painted drop shadow—which is pretty awesome. Seriously. Crazyisgood!
For those who are curious to see what the marine boys do on the ship, stay tuned—they are coming later in the stream.

When I was in college, I learned in my art history class that it is customary for artists to build structures which leads the eye from point A to point B. So I try to do it with my photography. It is hard for things which have a very defined subject matter. But for forms composition it is easier, because it is possible to utilize the lines found in architecture to create the necessary flow.
This is an outdoor staircase of a shopping mall in Hong Kong. stairs travel from far above all the way down to the ground level. There was door in the middle which I do not know lead where, but a security guard was standing there all the time while some people exited. I think it might be the exit for a cinema in the complex.
The street is buzzing with people, and as usual, the reflection from the marble surface allows you to get a glimpse of the city without dominating the frame. These are fun studies.
I don’t yet know how to apply these techniques in portraitures though. Chinese people are very private and do not usually wish to be photographed, making human form studies a nearly impossible task at hand. In that regard, I do miss New York.

Combining elements from traditional Japanese cultures with a modern twist, LEUNG Shuk Han, Stella’s Kyotokyo starts off the show with its imaginative prints and flowing lines. Particularly of interest to me is her rocked-out Geta (Japanese footwear).

The best WTF finds from ABHK came from Indonesia. These two acrylic paintings in the “Band of Sober” series are the works of Uji Handoko, an artist born in 1983 (yes, seriously!) also known as “Hahan”, which feature traditional asian religious figures situated next to some truly demented happy characters.
Surreal pop wtf insanity is exactly the kind of art I love. For more of the artist work, visit thisishahan.wordpress.com/ or Twitter: twitter.com/UjiHahan or Instagram: instagram.com/hellohahan/ @hellohahan
Definitely someone to watch out for—if they know how to do social media marketing for themselves they are generally unstoppable for viral growth… :)

Rainbow Teddy (RT) went on a little date with Daddy Smurf at the Ma On Shan Sports Ground last night.
SML: What are you doing here?
RT: The property market in Hong Kong is off the charts, so we decided to join the flock of love birds in the area and come to this dark corner to have a date.
Daddy Smurf: Yes this place is made for us. It was so romantic until you have arrived.
SML: Oh, sorry about that. Let’s just take a photo and I will leave you be…

Not my favorite look — but I love this model. Wearing oddly shaped garments with super high heels on the runway is no joke. I am always amazed how graceful they are to maintain the poise required for the catwalk.

Art Basel held its inaugural Asian art fair in Hong Kong at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre today (May 23, 2013). The international art fair with a focus on modern and contemporary works originated in 1970 by Basel gallerists Trudi Bruckner, Balz Hilt and Ernst Beyele. To reach out for the increasingly popular American contemporary art, it launched in Miami Beach in 2002. The debut in Hong Kong is very much welcome by the local art community, which is young but growing.
Unlike the other art fairs which I have visited in New York, this particular event features a significant roster of Asian artists as well as Western artists using Asian motifs in their works. It is quite an eye-opener for me. If you have not had the chance, I do highly recommend that you pay a visit. The show is open to public from May 23-26, 2013. 12pm-7pm.
Tip for the photojournalists: unless you hold a press pass, they only allow small cameras into the show. Backpacks must be checked. If you have an SLR, take off your battery grips and place your SLR into your handbag and you should be good to go. The galleries themselves are more than friendly to let you take as many photos as you wish, but the ushers outside are not all that friendly.

A tattoo-laden US Navy officer at the crew boarding security checkpoint tried to figure out what that giant scope was pointing at him—obviously, it was my lens, which is longer than some of the machine guns employed at the military.
His colleague on the other hand was too busy fiddling with his phone to notice me. Meanwhile, the security team from Hong Kong just gave me blank stares the whole time I was photographing them.
Nice tattoos! Interesting socks also—a bit unusual for this weather. Pants are a bit too short for my taste—though I suppose it is more practical to wear pants which do not go all the way to the ground for combat purposes.
He is very far away—this is a 400mm / ISO 12800 shot.

An invisible deadly web virus is spreading so the gang came together to raise awareness.
Papa Smurf: Did you know that up til 1990, homosexuality was considered a mental disorder by the World Health Organization (WHO)?
Little Green Man (LGM): Seriously? Humans are so backwards.
Rainbow Teddy (RT): This is why every year on May 17, we have decided to join up and bring awareness on social media.
Tigger: United we stand. To quote a tweet commonly attributed to (an unconfirmed) Morgan Freeman: “I hate the word homophobia. It’s not a phobia. You are not scared. You are an asshole.”
In Hong Kong, homophobia is still a huge problem. For most of my adulthood I have lived in New York mostly as I wish to distance myself from my family in order to not negatively affect them because of who I am.
I hope that one day I can just be.

# About The International Day Against Homophobia (IDAHO)
The International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) is an annual event celebrated every May 17. It is coordinated by the Paris-based "IDAHOBIT Committee", founded and presided over by Frenchman Louis-Georges Tin. The day aims to coordinate international events that raise awareness of LGBT rights violations and stimulate interest in LGBT rights work.
May 17 was the day that homosexuality was removed from the International Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1990.

“This collection is inspired by global riot initiated by teenagers, local political and social issues. Traces of it can be seen from the pattern on fabrics, details on accessories to the vibe of the final outfits as a whole. This collection is also one of the so many ways to celebrate the waking up of youngsters from ignorance, self-egos and work their ways out against the corrupted social value, ideology and bureaucracy, of which their actions are always regarded as a form of social disturbance. on top of that, it allows me to express my own personal perspective.”—Rhyox Wan, designer

Here is another mixed media installation by Chiharu Shiota (塩田千春 Shiota Chiharu b. 1972 Osaka, Japan), the artist I knew nothing about but fell in love with after my brief visit to Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 recently.
For her “State of being” series, a physical object—a boy’s kimono in this case—is suspended in air with black threads. Some have mentioned that they look like charcoal drawings, and they definitely do have that feel to it. Except that it is just a web of threads affixed to a metal frame.
It reminds one of an old precious long-forgotten item found inside the attic, memories which are trapped somehow—unreachable, but there.
Stunning at its simplicity but masterful in its execution. It is suspended between reality and surrealism. Highly recommended.

“This collection is inspired by global riot initiated by teenagers, local political and social issues. Traces of it can be seen from the pattern on fabrics, details on accessories to the vibe of the final outfits as a whole. This collection is also one of the so many ways to celebrate the waking up of youngsters from ignorance, self-egos and work their ways out against the corrupted social value, ideology and bureaucracy, of which their actions are always regarded as a form of social disturbance. on top of that, it allows me to express my own personal perspective.”—Rhyox Wan, designer

During Art Basel Hong Kong this year, Mayoral Galeria D’Art from Barcelona gave a solo show to Joan Miró, arguably one of the most important artists in Spanish history.
Born to the families of a goldsmith and a cabinet-maker, he grew up in the Barri Gòtic neighborhood of Barcelona. Miró initially went to business school as well as art school. His father is unsupportive of his art education, and when he had his first solo show at the Dalmal Gallery, his work was ridiculed and defaced.
But as you can see now, he is now universally recognised as a significant influence on late-20th century art. In 1954 he was given the Venice Biennale print making prize, in 1958 the Guggenheim International Award, and in 1980 he received the Gold Medal of Fine Arts from King Juan Carlos of Spain.
Hard work and perseverance usually pay off if you keep at it. Just do what you love.

# Joan Miro
Joan Miró i Ferrà (Catalan pronunciation: [ʒuˈam miˈɾo]) (April 20, 1893 – December 25, 1983) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, and ceramicist born in Barcelona. A museum dedicated to his work, the Fundació Joan Miró, was established in his native city in 1975.
Earning international acclaim, his work has been interpreted as Surrealism, a sandbox for the subconscious mind, a re-creation of the childlike, and a manifestation of Catalan pride. In numerous interviews dating from the 1930s onwards, Miró expressed contempt for conventional painting methods as a way of supporting bourgeois society, and famously declared an "assassination of painting" in favour of upsetting the visual elements of established painting.

It is rare for me to remember any artist’s name after seeing their work only once, but El Anatsui is one of those very rare exceptions. I saw his work last at The Armory Show 2010 in New York [1], and I distinctively remember him mainly because of the transmutative properties of the medium which he chooses.
Anatsui’s sculptures look like a sort of abstract expressionist tapestry made out of fabric, but are in fact a knit of thousands of discarded aluminium bottle tops threaded together with copper wires.
Fluidity of form is a significant quality inherent to his sculptures. The artist insists that his hangings be draped rather than hung flat, and allow museums and galleries to do the draping themselves, thus leaving their actual appearance differ from each show adding a unfixed quality into the sculptural practice.
Anatsui was born in Anyako, and trained at the College of Art, University of Science and Technology, in Kumasi, in central Ghana. He began teaching at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, in 1975, and has become affiliated with the Nsukka group.

Visitors can reach the peak of Mount Tai via a bus which terminates at the Midway Gate to Heaven, from there a cable car (纜車 缆车 pictured) connects to the summit. Covering the same distance on foot takes about two and a half to six hours. (1)
Each cable car takes 8 passengers. On the way up they forced pack us as sardines to the maximum capacity, but on the way down they let us go loosely and allows me room to do some photography.
The cable cars are completely enclosed, but there is a utility cable car which is open air (pictured first on the right). I would have loved to be able to get on that one as the plexiglass windows on the cable car are scratched due to weather battering and I could have taken some better picture if there is no window between my lens and the scene.

彩熊 Rainbow Teddy (RT) overheard a conversation recently: “Why does the rainbow flag represents LGBT?” an SML Family member asked.
”Oh, it’s because the rainbow is all-inclusive and it represents people in all different colors,” RT hijacked the conversation while fanning out the Pantone Color guide to show the amazing beauty of color diversity.” But if you want more information about the rainbow flag, let me Google that for you:
According to Wikipedia, the rainbow flag, sometimes LGBT pride flag or gay pride flag, is a symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) pride and LGBT social movements in use since the 1970s. The colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT community, and the flag is often used as a symbol of gay pride in LGBT rights marches. It originated in California, but is now used worldwide. [1]”
“可能中文會比較容易明白: 彩虹旗作為同志驕傲標誌是起源於美國加州。顏色反映的LGBT社區的多樣性, 所以自20世紀70年代成為LGBT (Lesbian 女同性戀者, Gay 男同性戀者, Bisexual 雙性戀者, Transgender 變性者)社會運動的象徵。”
RT is eager to share his Google knowledge with humans who don’t enjoy Googling. Please feel free to ask more questions in the future!

As an interaction designer, I love art works which uses technology and are interactive. I also love truly crazy ideas. So this piece by japanese collective Chim↑Pom is a by-chance encounter of pure awesomeness.
This work intends to provide an alternative source to energy by converting “libido” to electricity. Chim↑Pom inserted tiny erotic ads in newspaper to solicit calls from “needy” male adults. When they call this number, the machine will convert radio waves into electricity by an optical sensor with a relay. This “invention” is currently patent-pending, apparently.
When this work is shown at Art Basel Hong Kong, a similar ad was placed in a newspaper in Hong Kong. To figure out how this works, I called the number—if you zoom into the photo you will see my number on the iPhone. When it rings, the light bulb lights up through the machine. The calls are real, also — as the director of the gallery told me that quite a few people called multiple times thinking that it is a legit number.
Crazyisgood. SML Love.

A symphony of lines, forms, reflections and lights at night in 香港中環 Central, Hong Kong.
The structure to the right is 置地廣場 The Landmark, a shopping mall which features most of the world’s luxury brands. The net like structure in the background is Giorgio Armani’s facade at 遮打大廈 Chater House. The upside-down T clip-like structure is the electricity wire for 電車 trams. And the silhouette human figure in the window is the upper deck of double-decker buses.
Shot at 280mm, the large focal length compresses everything into a flat still. Remarkable. I am loving the 1.4x Extender.

Here is a wider view of the Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopter on the deck of the USS Peleliu (LHA-5) while it docked in Hong Kong. It was rainy when I shot these but even through the fog you can make out the skyline of Hong Kong across the Victoria Harbour.
A US Navy officer holding a large carbine is armed and patrolling on deck. I do not know the exactly what type of firearms he carrying, so please comment below if you do. Visually it looks like an Mk 18 Mod 0 CQBR (CQB assault rifle, 5.56x45mm NATO) to me, which according to Wikipedia is currently in use by the Force Reconnaissance|USMC Force Recon, and Coast Guard, US NAVY SEALS) so he might be a US Navy Seal then [1].
A fox insignia is seen on the exterior shell of the helicopter. If my research is correct, this should be the Purple Foxes HMM-364 which is stationed at MCAS Camp Pendleton, CA. [2, 3]

It was a quiet and sunny afternoon, and Rainbow Teddy (彩熊 RT @rainbowteddy8) wanted to play with the kids outside. In a kids playground nearby, RT found a metal jeep designed for his tiny figure. At first, there was another boy playing there also, but RT was quickly dismissed because of how he looks.
Boy: You are so weird. You have hair all over you.
SML: But he is a very good boy. He won’t hurt you.
Boy’s dad: Get away from my boy at once! Bears are dangerous. I saw it on TV. Why would you be such a careless parent to bring a bear to the playground?!
SML: He really doesn’t harm anyone…
(The dad and son team disappeared quicker than wind into thin air)
RT: It’s ok, SML, I am used to it. People always look at me and said that I am small, furry, ugly, weird, crazy, different, but I am perfectly happy playing by myself. Would it be nice to be loved by others? Sure, but learning to survive on my own makes me stronger.
SML: I am glad that you see the world that way. Now say cheese to the camera and let’s enjoy this wonderful day!
P.S. Rainbow Teddy now has an Instagram account at instagram.com/rainbowteddy8 but he has not had the time to post anything yet. Stay tuned.

Here is the side view of the sculpture seen previously [1]. As you can see, the sculpture is formed by four curvatures, and from this view it appears as a bent square.
It is so minimal yet so magical at the same time. Genius—I wish more art is like this.
Troika (Eva Rucki b. 1976 Germamny, Conny Freyer b. 1976 Germany, Sebastien Noel, b. 1977 France)
Squaring a Circle
2013
Mirror, steel, matte black flock
77.5 (D) x 139 (H) x 139 (W) cm
# Description
Constructed from steel and wrapped in a dense black flock flannel that absorbs light, 'Squaring the Circle' challenges the viewers sensibilities: on entering the room they see a black circular sculpture, but in the huge mirror opposite their ‘impossible reflection’ reveals them viewing a black square. 'Squaring the Circle' argues that if every method of inquiry reveals a particular facet of the truth or the nature of reality; their seemingly antithetical forms should find reconciliation in the knowledge, that ‘one-ness’ has a plurality of embodiments.
'Squaring the Circle' was premiered at OMR as one of 5 new works shown in Troika's solo exhibtion 'The far side of reason' in April 2013.

Troika is a London based studio founded by Eva Rucki, Conny Freyer and Sebastien Noel who are known for their experimental practise and projects that employ a cross-disciplinary approach and intersect between sculpture, architecture, and contemporary installation.
They met while studying at the Royal College of Art and subsequently started their studio in 2003, emerging as an integrated practice that creates work collectively through detailed research, dialogue and experiment.
Often merging technology with their projects as a point of departure paired with a particular interest in perception and the spatial experience, their work explores the intersection of rational thought, observation and the changing nature of reality and human experience.
And while their work is often filled with polarities — solitude and interaction, transition and permanence, the artificial and the natural — their interest lies within man's resolve to synthesize these opposites.
Since establishing the studio in 2003 Troika's work has been exhibited, amongst others, at the Victoria & Albert Museum London, The Art Institute of Chicago, Tate Britain and MoMA New York. In 2010 Troika were selected to create three art installations for the UK Pavilion at the World Expo Shanghai. Troika's work is represented in the permanent collections of the Israel Museum Jerusalem, British Council, The Art Institute of Chicago, Victoria and Albert Museum and the Museum Of Modern Art New York.
Troika has authored 'Digital by Design', Thames and Hudson, 2008; and, in 2009, won the D&AD Yellow Pencil for their digital sculpture 'Cloud' in London Heathrow Terminal 5 and ‘Palindrome’ at the Victoria & Albert Museum in 2011.

Using thousands of yellow plastic straws as raw materials, Italian artist Francesca Pasquali created a landscape like no others. It matters not if you can paint or not, if you have the will to create, magic always follows.
In her own words, “Even if plastic is a new material, the technique of interlacing it in pre-constituted nets is connected to the past. It makes it live again in the shape of sculpture, which spreads out towards the space around, creating various texturised effects. Observing nature itself, I transfer the essential being of it. The interlacing forms transform the industrial material into soft and sensual shapes.”

This is one of my favorite Chinese snack. It is very popular in South East Asia and it has different names depending on region. It is known as krupuk or kerupuk in Indonesia; keropok in Malaysia; kropek in the Philippines; bánh phồng tôm in Vietnam and xiapian (蝦片 虾片 "prawn chips") in Chinese.
The ones seen in the photo was photographed at 東海酒家 East Ocean Restaurant in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. It is served as a light hors d’oeuvre before the meal and is infused with black pepper, which is very yummy.
Recommended.

“I am sorry.
I suck at ______.
Thanks for being patient with me.”
/ SML.20121211.Apologies.ThankYou
Being able to identify what I am not good at is difficult, so being diagnosed with ADHD + Bipolar was mostly a blessing as it became far easier for me to identify possible weaknesses using available statistics models.
What I suck at: time management, organization of physical space, people skills. By noting what I am not good at, I can then tackle the problem by delegating work which I cannot complete to others who are excellent at it.
+/ Since I suck at time management, I do not sign myself up on any large projects unless it has an excellent project manager.
+/ Since I suck at physical space organization, I find that it's often best if I date OCD people — ADHD/Bipolar + OCD = match made in heaven.
+/ Since I suck at people skills, I make sure that there is a “people person” co-host present when I wish to organize any event.
Apologies notes and thank you notes run through most of my daily communication. As such I was surprised to see that the majority of business stationary design jobs do not include these as standard deliverables. For my own business, I rarely find the need for business cards so I don't really print them (yet). However the first thing that I will be printing which I find to be most crucial are thank you notes and apologies notes such as these.
This will likely be printed on postcards so I can write + mail as needed.

The instruments we use changes the way we play. The track was recorded and played live directly on the iPad using Orphion’s “3rds Matrix” grid.
The natural position of my right hand touches A4 and A#4. The natural position of my left hand touches F4 and D4. By shifting my hands a note to the left and to the top right, I get RH: F4 F#4 LH: C#4 A#3 and then RH: A#4 B4 LH: F#4 D#4.
The whole song are essentially repeated notes of the following
1L: D4 F4 1R: A4 A#4
2L: A#3 C#4 2R: F4 F#4
3L: D#4 F#4 3R: A#4 B4
I don't know what key these are in. I just play. And so while as a classically trained pianist I am conscious of the notes and key signature when I play on a conventional keyboard, Orphion’s seemingly illogical layout renders some nice experimental results which I enjoy.
I use the in-app recorder to record my live playing which I then email myself as an M4A file. The file is then placed into Ableton Live where I manually wrap my human-playing into something which sounds somewhat on time — though obviously the nice rubato are lost. I will work on getting something that is less machine like perhaps.
Then I layered some repeated tracks, and added some ping pong to the piece to give it some nuance together with some Lexicon reverb goodness. Mastered with Ozone 5 and voila.

I had wished to find a time when no one is hanging anything at the net so I get a good shot of the goal. But every time I went by some kind of clothes is hung there. If not then some water bottles are randomly placed around the net. I suppose this is a good place? This looks like pants, but I can’t really make out what it is.

No noise reduction on this one. I think that what I wish to stress is that it is usable at ISO 12800—not that it is grain free.
The main challenge with the 6D is that it does not have as much AF point in low light, so for fast moving objects you don’t really have time to “recompose” so to speak. But certainly you would not see me running around with a 70-200 f/4 + 1.4 Extender at night with the 7D.

Shot for personal stock use. Unlike regular photography, the goal (pun intended) is to be simple enough to allow other elements to shine. So it should not contain a lot of distracting details. For this shot the background is a already a bit distracting, but it is left in so when I do use it I can figure out whether to crop them out or not.
