The works by Asian artists continue to delight. This metal sculpture titled “Pixelated Heaven” by Thai artist Tawatchai Puntusawasdi (b. 1971) references something old and something new.
The sculpture appears to be that of the roofs seen in many Buddhist temples in Thailand, while the pixelated image references that of modern age.
The pixel-art movement has gone on for a while now, and it is nice to see them in sculptural form. Crazyisgood.

# Tawatchai Puntusawasdi
b. 1971 Bangkok, Thailand
+ 1993: BFA Sculpture, Faculty of Fine Arts, Chiangmai University, Thailand
+ 2001: MFA Sculpture, Silpakorn University, Bangkok
Tawatchai Puntusawasdi (b. 1971) pursued his art education at Chiangmai University (BFA), and then Silpakorn University (MFA). Based in Chiangmai, he produces architectural three-dimensional sculpture in hard-wood, slate, organic fibres, and various types of metal. In his Tilted series, ongoing since 2002, the artist plays with visual perception and physical balance to challenge audiences’ understanding of volume and space. In so doing, Tawatchai prods his viewers to consider philosophical and spiritual questions, his sculpture/installations translating complex ideas about uncertainty and transcendence into tangible form. His works also revolve around concepts of reality, so tangentially referencing Buddhist thinking. A student of the seminal Thai artist Montien Boonma (1953-2000), Tawatchai marshals formal elegance and grandiose scale to produce works that are simultaneously cerebral and visually seductive. Tawatchai has exhibited in Japan, the United States, Europe, Australia, Taiwan, and wider Southeast Asia. He has participated in both the Venice and Sydney Biennales and has twice been awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant.

If you have a plane which averaged US$24–30 million per unit [1] lying on a completely open space while the ship set sail, you would bind it security on the deck also, with multiple chains, as seen here on the deck of the USS Peleliu (LHA-5).

Hong Kong policemen (and policewomen) stood by in front of the Consulate General of United States of America before the rally made their way to the consulate. Journalists from different international public media outlets were all wrangling to try to find a good spot at the site.
The US consulate in Hong Kong is situated on a hill with a very narrow side street (Garden Road) thus making it hard to find a good spot to photograph.
Also, unlike the US, there is no law in Hong Kong which states that it is illegal to photograph the police, so policemen in Hong Kong could only give an annoyed glance at photographers without being able to bully the photographers.
(Stitched together with nine 7D full res RAW captures with the 100-400. As usual the two ingredients which dominate all public events regardless of nation are: photographers + police, my two favorite subjects)

The boys were at it today again—with a super short dragon boat—6 paddlers, to be exact. Wow! I have never seen this before. This was awesome.
The funny bit observed is that although the men rowing the boats are all in top shape, the sweep/steersman and the one in front (the drummer—though here without a drum) did not seem to be all that. In fact, this seems to suggest that SML would make an excellent “training partner”—you know, I sit in front so you need to work harder. It does seem like a good view up front.
…I shall see if I can contact some of these managers and get a front seat at the scull… (to be continued)
Yes I would love to get closed into the action, but the lens is not long enough. Will look into investing in a 100-400 soon.

With no markings on the facade, anyone who lives in Hong Kong would recognise this as a school because of its very defined design pattern.
Renaissance College, Hong Kong (Chinese: 啓新書院, abbreviated: RCHK) is a private independent international school in Ma On Shan, Hong Kong, serving primary and secondary students [1].
The term “design patterns” is mostly attributed to Christopher Alexander, an Austrian born American architect who published a book called “A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction” [2] where it discusses visual language used in designs as common vocabulary.
The book has far-reaching implications as the same term is now used today to discuss software designs, as popularised by “The Gang of Four” in their book “Design Patterns” to discuss reusable object-oriented software engineering [3].

The responsibility for a goalkeeper in football/soccer is crucial, but he also does not get that much action. Other players can roam the field freely for the whole game, but he is just standing there permanently waiting for action to happen.
How do people decide who gets to play the goalkeeper in these casual games? I always wonder…

A woman sits on top of a strange planet formed by organic found objects and strange landscape. Inside a hole, a demanding person wills with a commanding voice. A tiny figure was seen working near the surface.
This new video installation by Tony Oursler is so WTF funny that I am mostly amused by how the “art world people” look at it with a “serious straight face”.
The “planet” is situated on top of a steel stand, whereas the strange gadget in the background is a mini DLP video projector which projects video directly on top of the sculpture. It is wacky and crazy. Just the type of work for me.
See also Oursler’s previous video projection work at www.flickr.com/photos/seeminglee/4422162363/ and vimeo.com/10068688 (with video interview).

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.

Central Plaza (中環廣場) is a 78-storey, 374 m (1,227 ft) skyscraper completed in August 1995. Unlike what the name may have suggested, it is not located in Central by Wan Chai (灣仔), and is currently the third tallest architecture in Hong Kong after ICC and IFC [1, 2].
Designed by Dennis Lau & Ng Chun Man Architects & Engineers (HK) Ltd, the building was design to be in triangular shape in order to allow 20% more office area to enjoy the harbour view as compared with a square or rectangular shaped buildings.
As with the HKCEC next door (pictured at the lower left corner), the Central Plaza was built on reclaimed land. And as you can see, even more construction is taking place in the land in front of it—though exactly what is unclear at this point.
Stitched using 15 full resolution RAW captures with the 6D and 100-400 in order to achieve a high enough resolution for the building as well as minimise geometric distortions.

More gorgeous forms of utility. This one was taken inside the multi-function space which was being used as badminton courts at Kowloon Park.
Badminton is one of my favourite sports. You might think that since it weighs nothing you don’t really exercise much. You would be wrong. It can get quite extreme. One of my cousins used to play badminton a lot in high school and his right arm is one handful longer than his left.
Seriously crazyisgood. :)

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 rush hour metro traffic in Hong Kong. World Bank recorded the population in Hong Kong to be around 7 million in 2011. Now in 2013 it is trending towards 8 million.
Someone commented on SML Facebook that it is interesting to see that the platforms in Hong Kong have an inner door. Aside from keeping the A/C inside, they serve a safety function also—keeping the crowd from falling into to the tracks.
Rush hour in Hong Kong is so crowdy that often you wait in line for multiple trains to come before you can get on the train. Thankfully, MTR in Hong Kong are always on time and very efficient. Usually the trains are only 2 minutes apart—likely timed to be the shortest possible time for safety.
I am claustrophobic so you can see why I don’t live in downtown urban area. It is so crowdy that no one has the bandwidth for all the mobile devices either.

Tai Wai Station is an interchange station on the East Rail Line and the Ma On Shan Line of the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) system in Hong Kong. The station was originally opened in 1983 as an intermediate station of East Rail Line. In 2001, the station underwent expansion and construction ended in September 2004. The new concourse part was opened at first in the same month. Since 21 December 2004, the station has served as the terminus of the Ma On Shan Line, as well as the interchange station between these two lines. [1].
Pictured is the super long escalator which leads passengers from the ground station level to the platform. To cope with large amount of passenger traffic, most escalators go up only, and the exit going down are usually in the forms of staircases.
I usually try to leave photographs in colors when they work. Black and white photography does have its charms, but sometimes the colors add quite a bit.

The Clock Tower (尖沙咀鐘樓) in Tsim Sha Tsui, also known as Former Kowloon-Canton Railway Clock Tower (前九廣鐵路鐘樓) is the only remaining artifact from the original site of the former Kowloon Station on the Kowloon-Canton Railway (KCR, now bought by MTR). Built out of red bricks and granite, the Clock Tower stands 44m tall and is situated right next to the Hong Kong Cultural Centre [1].
I photographed this mainly to see if it was actually possible to use the 100-400 at night, and amazingly it was with the 6D—seriously crazyisgood. The IS on this lens is quite powerful as the exposure was 400mm, 1/80 sec, f/5.6 at ISO 12800. For lenses without IS shooting at 1/80 sec at 400mm would be impossible.
Very soon in the future not a single human would understand the concept of a “fast lens” vs a “slow glass” as technology advances.

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

At the Canon iSQUARE Showroom located on the 20th floor at iSQUARE in Hong Kong, a large rotating display case showcases all of the current EF lenses in the current Canon line up.
The sales people were too busy helping other customers so I could not ask if I can take a photo. I have gotten into trouble many times photographing shop displays in Hong Kong so I photographed this rather swiftly with the EOS M, but next time I visit to pick up my 7D currently in repair I will ask to see if I can “test out my camera” and do a better shot of this.

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

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

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

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

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

Similar to BW photography, the removal of color in fashion design allows us to more readily appreciate the forms of the construction.
