This is the facade of the Water Cube (水立方) looking from the inside to the outside. The outer wall is based on the Weaire–Phelan structure, a structure devised from the natural pattern of bubbles in soap lather. Each bubble has its own unique shape—no single shape is alike. Ground was broken on December 24, 2003, and the Center was completed and handed over for use on January 28, 2008.
The total construction cost was ￥940 million yuan / $ 140 million USD / € 94 million EUR. Architects responsible for the work include PTW Architects, CSCEC, CCDI, and Arup.

Artworks which are character-driven is an unusual thread seen in Asian contemporary artworks. In Japanese pop art, Yoshitomo Nara has his innocent girls and lonesome puppies. In Indonesia, artist Samsul Arifin created a whole series of work surrounding a kapok-stuffed doll with goggly plastic eyes—Goni.
The sculpture in the foreground is titled “Musafir Artist”, where Goni is seen riding a camel-like figure while carrying a bag of artist supplies with him on a journey out. In the back, a painting (triptych) titled “Petualang Ilmu di Negeri Unta” (Knowledge of the adventurous camel? Google Translate).
To the gallerists whom I talked to, Goni is seen as the artist’s own avatar, and through this avatar the artist is writing his own autobiography in the works of his art.
Samsul Arifin was born in 1979. I was as surprised as you to find someone younger than me with works at Art Basel. Indonesia is truly full of surprises. You see why I am planning for a visit soon?

Based in Jakarta, Nadi Gallery is an art gallery founded by Biantoro Santoso, a young collector of Indonesian art. The Indonesian word nadi means "aorta", "artery", "vein" that evokes the idea of signaling pulsation. Without pulsation, the aorta soon looses its significance for life. As the name indicates, the Gallery's principal programs of exhibitions have been aspiring to present the pulses of recent developments in contemporary art in Indonesia.

Kam Tai Court (錦泰苑) is a HOS court in Ma On Shan, built on the reclaimed land along Tide Cove shoreline, near MTR Tai Shui Hang Station. It has totally 12 blocks completed in 2000.
Sometimes in rendering photographs like these I am a bit undecided if I should push their contrasts and vibrance. The photograph was taken on a cloudy day, so it lacks color details. I also never really liked this shade of teal/green. They “feel” like public toilets to me. I can’t quite explain why.
From afar it would seem that the dark green was painted to echo with the greens of the mountain next to it (馬鞍山 Ma On Shan) but as Heidi Klum likes to say in Project Runway, matchie-matchie is no style at all. I tend to agree with that philosophy.

李占洋 Li Zhanyang’s sculpture gives a glimpse of what it is like to live in China. Born in Changchun, Jilin Province in 1969, he has been drawn to crowds since he was a child. So when he moved to a big city like Beijing in his late twenties, he found himself spending hours in bars, gambling dens, railway stations (pictured), brothels and bus stops. Afterwards he would go home and sculpt the scenes he has observed from memory.
When I visited cities in mainland China, I am also in awe with the amount of people everywhere, all minding their own business. In that regard, Li Zhanyang’s sculptural interpretation is a true reflection of the modern China.
This work is like a holographic 3D video still from a capture. And it was funny to me as it features three gigantic signage types which can be seen across all railway stations in China:
1. “第三候車大厅” (Train waiting area no. 3). The often obnoxiously huge characters which designate the name of the location usually placed on the facade of Chinese architectures.
2. “严禁也携带易燃易爆有毒等危险品进站上車” (Do not bring flammable, combustible, toxic or other dangerous objects into the station nor alight the trains). Official warning signs plastered everywhere at the station.
3. “嘉陵摩托” (Jialing Motors). Advertising everywhere there is space.
In this artwork, there are the Chinese Literation Army attempting to the keep the crowd in line, the bourgeois making space. Sea of people everywhere. Advertising everywhere. Modern China is full of chaos. And this artwork captures that reality honestly and magically.

Someone on Facebook asked to see a color version of an HDR photo previously processed in BW [1]. This is not the same capture but it was photographed at about the same time.
The HDR was merged inside Photomatix Pro, which sometimes do a decent job but sometimes create these weird color cast that was difficult to manage. So I might try using Photoshop to do the HDR conversion later.
But here you see why I did not process this in color, as mainly the hills in the back has a blue cast from the air whereas the color information does not really help. In the front, the sky is reddish whereas further away they are yellowish. Processing in black and white is almost a cop-out but when color information is not helping I generally prefer working on photographs in black and white — because it is the cloud forms which should be the star here, not the blue sky and awkward color-casts in the mountains.
…in my opinion.

Copper and iron vats (銅鐵缸) were part of the fire-fighting equipment in the palace. They were filled with water to be used to douse fires. From October to February every year, the vats were covered with quilts to prevent water freezing, and on very cold days they would be heated by charcoal fires.
The oldest vats were cast during the Hongzhi reign period (1488-1505) of the Ming Dynasty. Each of the Ming Dynasty vats has two simple iron rings. The Qing Dynasty vats (pictured) have two beast-shaped bronze rings, a big belly and a small mouth.
The Palace has a total of 308 copper and iron vats of various sizes. Of them, 18 are copper vats inlaid with gold, which are located on both sides of the Hall of Supreme Harmony (太和殿 Tai He Dian), the Hall of Preserved Harmony (保和殿 Bao He Dian) and the Gate of Heavenly Purity (乾清門 Qian Qing Men).

This shows how fishermen in Hong Kong sun-dry their seafood. The fresh catches are placed on trays supported by beams and left in open-air right near the fishing boats—talk about convenience. The shells from the shellfish are then immediately discarded right at the beach (foreground). After that, it’s just a matter of time and patience.
The foggy cityscape in the background is not Hong Kong but Shenzhen. Lau Fau Shan (流浮山) is located at the very northwest corner of Hong Kong, so you would be able to peer China from this distance.

With the growth of cities, many people from Chinese villages also moved to the urban area hoping for a better life. But as you can see, life is hard and jobs are not necessarily readily available for everyone.

Woodcut spots from Damien Hirst. This series need no introduction. Each print is an abstract representation of a biochemical compound, expressed as a spot color from circular wood cuts.
It is hard for me to talk about Damien Hirst. On the one hand, I see a gifted and very talented artist who produces brilliant works. On the other, an artist-turned-factory who has become so commercialized that he would need to come up with all kinds of methods to pump up works to please the high demands for his work.
Andy Warhol likes to say that “making money is art, and working is art and good business is the best art.” But I tend to have a problem with art created purely to make money. Mondrian’s early works are brilliant and full of ideas, but the Mondrian after he has becoming the darling of his times left little to be desired.
These “limited edition prints” is probably the worse of this trend—making quick bucks in the art market, each asking approximately four-thousand pounds on today’s market. I have no doubt that these works are key to supporting the artist’s livelihood and thus allows him to be the richest living artist in Britain.
Art to me is pure magic, but in these works I see nothing but a money-making machine disguised as something fine but has no soul except the greed within.

# Damien Hirst
Damien Steven Hirst (born 7 June 1965) is an English artist, entrepreneur and art collector. He is the most prominent member of the group known as the Young British Artists (or YBAs), who dominated the art scene in Britain during the 1990s. He is internationally renowned, and is reportedly Britain's richest living artist, with his wealth valued at £215m in the 2010 Sunday Times Rich List. During the 1990s his career was closely linked with the collector Charles Saatchi, but increasing frictions came to a head in 2003 and the relationship ended.

It is no secret that I love typography in paintings, and every now and then I would come across some really bizarre work.
Harland Miller is both a writer and artist. His debut novel titled “Slow Down Arthur Stick to Thirty” was published in 2000 to critical acclaim. But he is best known for his giant canvases of Penguin Book covers.
I can’t help but to find him similar to Ed Ruscha in America, who also paint large type on his work. This painting seen at Art Basel Hong Kong recently is not his best, I think — but on his personal web site at www.harlandmiller.com/ there are quite a bit of fantastic WTF irony which are witty and sweet — definitely worthy of a visit.
In his own words: “Painting is the worst medium to express narrative, but perhaps the best to hit a nerve.”

It has been said that contemporary art is an acquired taste, and it matters not whether you like it or hate it. Good art invites a dialog—hating it is still a successful piece as long as you care enough to form an opinion. Bad art, on the other hand, invites no dialog at all—indifference is not an opinion.
Titled “Garbage Buddha,” this mixed media installation by Tibetan artist Tsherin Sherpa appears to be a commentary on Buddhist religion. The artist spent years studying buddhist philosophy under the tutelage of various Buddhist Masters in Nepal. The intention of the artist though is unknown.
It is a dimension variable installation — true that. If I have this on view at my home no one will be able to tell a difference between my work space and the art work for sure.

The long escalator ride up from MTR (Hong Kong’s underground metro) station level to ground level.
I always wonder if the subway in Hong Kong is longer than most places in the world because the escalator ride is quite long. I have never timed nor measured it but it definitely feels at least three times longer than most subway station in New York.
So as usual, to kill time, I do photography. And these extreme perspective shots are really ideal for the full frame 6D + wide angle lens.

This green fence surrounding the soccer pitch has my name written all over it. I see it, because I am not normal. You don’t, because maybe you are human.
Also you from this you can see why I had to use a long lens. It is close to impossible to use a wide angle lens to photograph people playing sports inside because there are no elevated platforms surrounding these fields, and so the only way to photograph what is happening inside is through these frames with extremely tight openings.

An unexpected sighting in Taipei is the placement of Buddhist temples in the city. Unlike other places where temples are usually somewhat spatially separated, here the temples appear to be surrounded by city life. It is is possible that there is limited space and thus buildings must be built adjacent to them. But it is still rather interesting to me.
In the photo, the orange building on the right is a Buddhist temple. A residential building to its right, with a banner on its facade for the city local legislative election. And a bus top filled with people waiting to be transported afar on a misty rainy day.

“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

The Great Wall of China (長城) is a series of fortifications made of stone, brick, tamped earth, wood, and other materials, generally built along an east-to-west line across the historical northern borders of China in part to protect the Chinese Empire or its prototypical states against intrusions by various nomadic groups or military incursions by various warlike peoples or forces. Several walls were being built as early as the 7th century BC; these, later joined together and made bigger and stronger, are now collectively referred to as the Great Wall.
Juyong Pass (居庸關 Jūyōng Guān) is one of the three greatest mountain passes of the Great Wall of China. The other two are Jiayuguan (嘉峪關) and Shanhaiguan (榆關). Juyongguan Pass has two ‘sub-passes,’ one at the valley‘s south and the other at the north. The southern one is called "Nan (pass)" and the northern is called “Badaling” (八達嶺).
This is the first time I have been to Juyong Guan. Personally I prefer the view at Badaling better, though Juyong Guan is considered the more important point of interest for tourism.

The Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋節) is a significant cultural celebration in Chinese culture. It occurs on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar, typically falling in September or October.
The festival coincides with the autumn harvest season, making the full moon a symbol of abundance and gratitude for nature’s blessings.
In the west, this moon is also known as the Super Harvest Moon, when the moon is at its closest point to Earth, making it appear larger and brighter than usual — about 14% larger and 30% brighter than a typical full moon.

What’s so awesome about a black and white image of a US fighter jet? Nothing—except when you realised that it was a charcoal drawing and not a photo. Seriously.
Robert Longo (born 1953-01-07 in Brooklyn, NY) is an American painter and sculptor. Even when I was standing right next to the drawing I could not tell that it was a drawing.
Those of you who have worked with charcoal knows that being able to achieve hyperrealist drawings such as this is no small feast.
Crazyisgood!

Closed to the 碧霞祠 Azure Clouds Temple on the other side of the 玉皇頂 Jade Emperor Peak is a “Guest House” (aka hotel) which is enclosed in radio satellites. The very traditional architecture of the tower suggests that it was probably originally built as a watch tower in ancient times. But in modern days it is now filled with satellite dishes, likely for intelligence use as well as radio broadcast use.
I did not have the time to check out the facilities, but I think that if and when I decide to revisit Mount Tai for some more photography, this would be my only lodging option.

Contrast makes for interesting compositions.
In colors: orange vs blue. In materials: reflective vs matte surfaces. In age: old vs new. In size: large vs small. In forms: curves vs lines. In proportion: majority vs minority. In brightness: dark vs light.
When all the elements are there they sing to my eyes. Everyday found art in the urban landscape is a living poetry waiting for the eyes to explore.
The thing which applies to photography also applies to design. The visual art language is the same for food—food tastes best when it hits all the taste buds: sweet, sour, salty, heat. Visual pleasures work best when it hits all the visual notes: hues, colors, brightness, proportion, size.

In March 2014, I went to the Sydney to attend a wedding. After four months, I finally have the time to process those photographs. These are what I saw…
Pictured is the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge with the Australian flag high on top. The bridge is a steel through arch bridge across Sydney Harbour that carries rail, vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic between the Sydney central business district (CBD) and the North Shore.

Some captures are prime candidates for black and white—and this is one of those instances, and it will probably eventually also processed as such.
But there is something interesting about that little bit of color—the very fainted yellow from the sun contrast with the blue gray clouds.
The bird is technically both over and under exposed, and there is nothing I could do about it. Following things flying in air is a lot harder than I first imagined. Hopefully I can get better at this—maybe use spot metering next time. But again, when it is in black and white, the hard white / black is much less distracting. There is something magical about B+W that can often turn fail into win!

This highly recognisable building requires no introduction. It is of course the Bird’s Nest in Beijing. Officially known as the National Stadium, it was designed for use throughout the 2008 Summer Olympics and Paralympics.
I have wanted to photograph this architecture since its inception, and am happy to finally have seen it. The architecture was designed by Herzog & de Meuron. It is both a visual as well as structural marvel.

This capture has most of the elements that I look for in this series. God rays: check. Wild patterns on the water surface: check. Tiny boats on the water surface which references that of Chinese traditional paintings: check. Puffy clouds on the distant: check. The only thing it lacks is some more dramatic clouds on the top. But still, what are the chances? I shall meditate on this to will it to happen…

Galería Leandro Navarro in Madrid, Spain gave a solo show to Picasso during Art Basel Hong Kong 2013.
Titled “Les Trois Baigneuses” or “The three bathers” in English, this painting was drawn on September 15, 1932 while Picasso is having his summer vacations in the South of France—at Boisgeloup.
Picasso is one of my favorite artists of all times. As a creator, his work is always changing and fresh, independent of gallery demands. His lines are brief, which shows decisiveness and maturity of a painter.

# Description by the Gallery
In 1932, inspired by his summer vacations in the South of France, Picasso executed a number of paintings of figures on a beach. This work is most closely related to two similar sized compositions, both titled Baigneuses, painted during the same period (Zervos, vol.8, nos. 61 and 62). The first (no. 61) was painted one week earlier on September the 6th and was also dean with a dense line and darkly coloured passages in the background. That work appears to contain four figures in a mostly triangular grouping. The present work contains three figures and the added element of the dressing huts in the right background. The final work (no. 62) painted on the 28th of November shows the figures more clearly delineated and the whole composition is far more sophisticated. While the last work most clearly shows the figures as play, this and the earlier painting both have an element of foreboding as the lower figure relates to the image of the drowned woman which appears in other beach scenes. With this association in mind, the scene shifts between exuberant play and a moment of highly charged distress.

A city never sleeps because inside which lives humans which never stops going somewhere. This time-lapse video shows the pulse of a city through the rush hour traffic in Central in Hong Kong one gloomy evening.
For the soundtrack I had wanted something repetitive and Philip Glass came to mind. I had originally written something but thought that the video works best with something by Glass. To avoid licensing issues (mostly because I publish everything via CCBY), I found a MIDI file performed by Bertrand Robion on the web [1] and mixed it with some piano samples.

As Hong Kong’s only university offering degrees in fashion design, the Institute of Textiles & Clothing (紡織及製衣學系, ITC) of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (香港理工大學, PolyU) organizes a fashion show for their best and brightest students from their graduating class each year.
This year, 24 students from the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Scheme in Fashion and Textiles or the Higher Diploma Scheme in Fashion and Textile Studies were showcased, each showing 6 looks on the runway.
The event was held on June 26th, 2013 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (香港會議展覽中心, HKCEC).
Pictured is a panorama of the stage at the afternoon show before it started. It is handheld, so you will see imperfect seams everywhere, but it should hopefully illustrate the crowd and stage nicely. Stitched together using 13 captures with the 6D and 24-70 f/2.8L.

In May 2008, just months before the Beijing Olympics, a devastating earthquake struck Sichuan Province, killing hundreds of thousands of people. Chinese artist 陳秋林 Chen Qiulin’s 漂浮Floating series responds directly to that catastrophe, adding a distinctly personal tenor to an event many only learned about through the media.
These floating human figures, sculpted in papier-mâché made primarily with paper scavenged from the detritus of the disaster, have the rough surfaces of industrial materials. At first glance, their texture, heft, and mass resemble that of concrete structures—a reference to the recent industrialization of the artist’s homeland.
Yet as the forms sway gently in space, suspended by nearly invisible pieces of fishing line, their apparent heaviness gives way to an essential weightlessness. The sculptures’ movements likewise suggest multiple possible readings, alternately evoking the graceful postures of dance and traumatic visions of bodies falling in space. Personal history drives Chen’s practice, but in creating such plays between opposites, she asks viewers to bring their own histories to their encounters with her work.

# Chen Qiulin 陈秋林 (陳秋林)
Chen Qiulin (b. 1975) is an emerging artist who is deeply concerned with the impact of urbanization in China. Her practice includes performance, photography, video, installation and most recently sculpture. She combines personal history with themes of demolition, migration, and transformation to express the reality for "ordinary people" living in China today. Born in Hubei Province, Chen Qiulin graduated from the Printmaking Department at the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts and currently divides her time between Chengdu and Beijing.

The Rotunda annex of the National Library of Finland, completed in 1906, is a six-story structure with bookshelves placed around an open central space. Gazing up or down in the Rotunda offers stunning views of the library’s interior architecture
The National Library of Finland (Kansalliskirjasto) serves as the foremost research library in the country and is a vital institution for preserving Finnish cultural heritage. Located in Helsinki, near the iconic Senaatintori square, it is both a repository of knowledge and a cultural hub.
I visited this place in August during my week in Helsinki, per recommendation by Alexander. I only had a 24-105 with me during the visit and was unable to capture its beauty in a single shot, so I have stitched together 14 captures to make a vertical pano.

With its signature blue jogging lane and wonderful sea breeze, the Ma On Shan Promenade was one of the nicest thing available in my neighborhood. It looks great up on top peering from the 27th floor down [1], and is relaxing just to walk around or do some landscape photography, as can be seen in my serenity photo series [2].
Completed in three phases between 2009 and 2010, the whole stretch of the promenade is 3.2km long and covers an area of 5.2 hectares. Besides jogging trails, it has children’s playgrounds, elderly fitness corners as well as fitness stations.
It is also a great place to photograph Pat Sin Leng (the long stretch of mountains in the back) as well as Tolo Harbour, as can be seen on my stream as well.

Chinese artist 朱金石 Zhu Jinshi’s abstract paintings are incredible—mostly as they resemble more as sculptures than paintings. Born in Beijing in 1954, the artist is known to apply his oil paint with spatulas and shovels.
“Thickness … visually guides you to change your worldview,” he said. “It can be used as a point of breakthrough.”
This head-on view does not really showcase the brilliance of this work, so I have also photographed another one from the side so you can see how the oil paints leave the canvas and protrude a great few inches from the surface.
Zhu Jinshi was born in Beijing, China in 1954, where he currently lives and works.

Round 3: The lines becomes curve for this one.
The building on the left is Exchange Square. The one on the right is still Jardine House. With its circular windows, Jardine House has an interesting facade which makes it beautiful to photograph. In many ways, when I first saw the Maritime Hotel in New York, the first thing I was reminded of is how much better Jardine House looks comparatively speaking.
This photo might look better in black and white—so it will be processed as such later—if I have learned anything looking at the Flickr stream of Thomas Hawk, it is that interleaving photographs from different places and series generally look better than streaming the same kind of photos continuously. Diversity makes life interesting…

I just started watching Fringe season 5 [1], which was just concluded. I generally prefer to do season-long marathons over watching things weekly. Pacing is better for me this way.
What I used to do is chain-smoke while watching TV. But I can’t do it in Hong Kong so I started eating pistachios instead. One bag of pistachios span approximately 3 40min episodes. A bit fattening I think.
For those of you who commented that I should quit smoking, I think that I will pick getting skinny with a potentially shorter lifespan over getting fat and thus minimizing chance to get suitable mates.
Besides, SML Family has a history of long life anyway. Everybody who has passed away in the previous generations are over 90yo. I would much rather rip the benefits of smoking over living til I am over 100.

Photo by request. Chinese men playing basketball at night. Panorama stitched using 18 7D RAW handheld capture. Thus seams are not perfect and people are seen with their body chopped off, some even have body doubles. But what was requested is depicted. You can always crop out what you want to have a perfect photo. This beats posting 18 boring image on my stream.

When does street art end and fine art begins? It is hard to make that distinction anymore, and the pieces seen at ABHK certainly reflects the trend.
For over 40 years, two artists in the UK collaborated under the name “Gilbert & George,” which is comprised of Gilbert Proesch (b. 1943-09-17 in San Martin de Tor, Italy) and George Passmore (b. 1942-01-08 in Plymouth, UK).
This mixed media painting titled “Jacksie” were done in 2008, when both artists are well in their 60s, but there is no shortage of WTF in their work—which has elements similar to that of graffiti seen on the streets of London except that they are shown in well known galleries.
It is awesome to find a partner in crime—life long marriage in art. Sweet.
