Purple and gold are the school colors for The Chinese University of Hong Kong (香港中文大學 CUHK), and so I feel that it would be fitting to process this night-time long exposure as such.
In ancient times, purple was the color worn by Roman Emperors and magistrates, and later by Roman Catholic bishops. Since that time, it has been commonly associated with royalty and piety. The color gold is likely to represent the phoenix in the university’s emblem.
This is a 60-second long exposure using the 6D + 24-70 f/2.8L mounted on Manfrotto tripod, remote release with the Canon TC-80N3.

The main reason we picked 山東省 Shandong Province as our first destination to travel to for the “中國旅遊 中国旅游 China Tourism” project was to visit the 孔府 Confucius Mansion.
# 孔府 (Kǒng fǔ) [1]
孔府 (Confucius Mansion / Kǒng fǔ) , also known as 聖公府 (shèng gōng fǔ), is located in 曲阜市 Qufu City in the 山東省 Shandong Province of 中國 China. It is the residence mansion of the Confucius family.
The 孔府 Confucius Mansion, the 孔廟 Confucius Temple, and the 孔林 Confucius Cemetery [2] are collectively known as the 「三孔」“three Confucius”. They are part of China’s key protected cultural relics, and is listed as part of the World Cultural Heritage in December 1994.
孔府，又稱衍聖公府，位於中國山東省曲阜市，是孔子的世襲衍聖公的後代居住的府第。孔府與曲阜孔廟、孔林合稱「三孔」，是中國重點文物保護單位，1994年12月被列為世界文化遺產。

# 聖府大門
聖府大門 (圣府大门 “Holy Mansion Grand Entrance” Shèng fǔ dàmén) is the main door to the 孔府 Confucius Mansion, which was designed in the style of 懸山式建築 (悬山式建筑 “hanging cliff styled architecture” Xuán shān shì jiànzhú)[2].
The two characters “聖府” (圣府 “Holy House” Shèng fǔ) were written on the 匾額 (匾额 “plaque”) [3]. It was written by 嚴嵩 (严嵩 Yan Song [4]) from the 明朝 (Ming Dynasty) [5].
[6 / SML Translate]
聖府大門就是曲阜孔府的大門，聖府為三間五檁懸山式建築 [2]，匾書“聖府”二字，是明朝嚴嵩聖府大門所書。[6 / Google Translate]

2. Baidu Baike: 懸山式建築: 面有前後兩坡，而且兩山屋面懸於山牆或山面屋架之外的建築，稱為懸山（亦稱挑山）式建築。懸山建築稍間的檁木不是包砌在山牆之內，而是挑出山牆之外，挑出的部分稱為“出梢”，這是它區別於硬山的主要之點。http://baike.baidu.com/view/2126456.htm

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.

The aerial view makes for some truly spectacular photography. Now with the new 1.4x extended, I can really get close to the action. People photographed this way will always be anonymous, so it should relieve some of the pain I had when photographing humans, meanwhile the perspective is quite wonderful from this perspective.

Just finished a week long interaction design consulting with a New York client. Super psyched with the result. Happy clients + awesome projects = best happiness biohack for life.
Meanwhile, it looks like that this new toy will soon arrive at SML Universe HKG. I am currently reconfiguring living space to house this giant toy so I can print my panoramic photography in sizes where I can see the actual subjects.
Super awesome. Crazyisgood.

With the recent success doing handheld pano with Hugin 2012, I tried my hands at some handheld vertical panorama today.
This was taken on the path which I take to walk to the Ma On Shan Promenade. The buildings on the top right is 聽濤雅苑 Vista Paradiso, where SML Universe HKG is. The architectural complex to the left is 錦豐苑 Kam Fung Court—a series of public housing estates in Hong Kong. The forms you see in the middle is a primary school, as you should no doubt recognise by now from my photography of schools. The mountain in the background is 馬鞍山 Ma On Shan. And that’s not an airplane in the sky, it was a bird in the midst of flight.
This is a stitch of 12 RAW captures stitched together using the Trans Mercator projection so the buildings are not straight as it should, but it is the best projection I have tried out which would tile this well without losing too much materials in the process.

Skyscrapers and reflections are fun—especially through a layer of glass with dotted patterns. I don’t really know the reason for it—maybe it shields heat better this way? I will ask an architect and get back to you on that. For now I am just glad that the camera has enough resolution to not turn all that into a moire mess.

I have always wanted to photograph men in flight, and I considered photographing dancers—but it seems that even though football is played mostly on the ground, there are plenty of opportunities when the human forms is in mid air.
Pictured is Marti Rosell [1] (Hong Kong Falcon Football Club #3)’s soft landing after he has headed the ball.
You see why I don’t do studio photography? Try asking the model to pose like that—impossible. Some forms just need to be natural, and you can’t beat live action sports.
I couldn’t find Paulita’s information on the web so I cannot identify their players on the field.

Finding perfection in life is going to be very difficult, but the imperfection adds to its interest, I think. If I wanted a perfect leaf, I could have just drawn it. But try drawing imperfection. It is very hard. I am imperfect. The leaf is imperfect. It feels closer to heart. Like the leaf which is imperfect, I find my own imperfection adds to my overall interest. If people are perfect life would be very boring, I think.

It looks as if it was going to rain but it did not. The circular dome houses Hong Kong Space Museum’s planetarium [1]. The square-ish structure is the Hong Kong Museum of Art [2]. The rectangular architecture is in fact the IFC Building [2] in Central across the Victoria Harbor—crazyisgood!

Sometimes when I photograph physically large things they appear to be microscopic images. This is one of those times. It is the ceiling covering an outdoor escalator in Central, Hong Kong. But it appears almost like some kind of tank tracks in a sci-fi movie. Abstract forms are interesting that way—a single image tinkles the mind for millions of possibilities. I think that this might be why I also have a preference for abstract paintings which evoke emotions and energy.

Since this was my favorite look of all, I tried to do live-action panorama again with the 100-400, so you can see the detail as well as the construction. Stitched together using 6 captures on the 6D live. Just look at those shoes. Truly. I am thinking that I would go find a shoemaker and cut out holes for me also. Crazyisgood. SML Love.

It never “gets better.” The campaign which tells you that it does has no idea wtf they are talking about.
People who are narrow minded will continue to hate and discriminate you for who you are. But when you grow older you will learn to understand that their hating you is not your fault. You can try to educate and help them understand you better. You can also try to understand why they think the way they do. Investigate. Research. Do not give up. Don't hate them for hating you. Invite a dialog with them.
When you understand where other people are coming from and why they form the opinion that they do, you can choose to agree or to disagree. Being able to agree to disagree is a sign of maturity. You have power when you recognize that your being you is your own business. Life is too short caring about what other people think. You are not responsible for their happiness. You are however responsible for your own happiness.
You are you. You have you. You will always have you. If you believe in yourself, you need not care what other people think. If they hate you for your being you, just tell them to fuck off. Be yourself. Never change for others.
“________ can be assholes, too.
If people hate you for your being you, tell them to fuck off.”

So the Hover Bar kept on getting better. I have now found it to be most useful in controlling music surface. Here shown again with Griid Pro and the Ableton Live set of Orphion Ping Pong on the Dell U2711 monitor.
The great thing about the arm is that I can position it where my left hand rests way out from the desk. No more holding the 1.5 lb iPad 3 with two hands. Now this is how controllers should be. It is also useful with other music apps I own. Vibration is still an issue but otherwise I do recommend it.
This is working so well that I am thinking of having monitor arms for all my monitors now.

Over-complication is a human fallacy. So when I photograph anything, I try to maintain focus and make sure that every form in the frame matters and contributes something to the capture. If it does not belong then I make sure that they are not included.
For photographs which there is no time to think (live action), I just shoot and then crop after the fact. But for things which stay put I take my time to compose before clicking the shutter.
In digital photography, cropping means lose of resolution and detail, so it is best to do it right at the moment of capture then trying to fix things in Photoshop after the fact. Photoshop is not magic, you know. The best Photoshop jobs do not look like it was ever Photoshopped. And I am not a one of those wizards who can wield magic. So I try to do it right where I can.

It seems that sports photography is definitely the 7D’s forte. So I think that I just might go and photograph some action at real matches soon.
Pictured is a guy shooting a hoop at a basketball court nearby. His identity is concealed because of the bokeh. The hoop in focus is located at the basketball court right next to his.
Identity concealed = no model release necessary. Excellent.

A collage of forms, accented by the echoes of colors and lines.
The afternoon sun casts a warm shadow of a baby carriage on the footbridge. Below the bridge, a man in blue sweater walks casually across a zebra crossing. The lines of the zebra crossing is shielded by the bridge, thus it would appear as if the man is on the same plane when in fact is is very far away. The S in “SLOW” is obscured so you see the word “LOW” instead. The white markings not the road leads the eye to the lower right as well as the upper right, which is the entrance to a car park, where the yellow warning signs echo nicely with the warm glow of the afternoon sun.

I kept on seeing this boat from my apartment up above peering down and now I have spotted the same boat at eye level.
The word 海鮮 in Chinese means seafood, but it is in fact made up with two characters: 海 is sea and 鮮 is fresh. Thus you can see that seafood according to the Chinese must be eaten fresh. This is why when you go to Chinese restaurants you will see a lot of fish tanks. Simply put, dead seafood is nasty.
I have no idea what is in its nets but those look like squids to me. Oh yummy!

A bizarre sighting during sunset yesterday. Dark smokes appear in the middle of nowhere towards the brocade cloudy sky.
It is good then perhaps that I am not a religious fanatic, otherwise I would see this as a sign that something dark is coming.
That said, nature has a way of talking to me all the time. Maybe it is a sign. You decide.

Previously I have mistaken some mini yachting activities as windsurfing. I stand corrected. But this is windsurfing for sure.
My lens is not long enough so it is cropped. I also noticed that since the 70-400 f/4L I have is the non-IS edition, it does have some limits on this far end.
So I have ordered the 100-400 f/5.6L IS today. Oddly the reseller said that they do not have a lot of stock so I have to wait, but hopefully soon!

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.

The beauty of utilitarian forms continues. This is the view down under the MTR (Hong Kong’s metro) bridge at Heng On station in Ma On Shan. The only way to photograph this in its entirety is via panoramic photography because there is simply no lens this wide.
Often photographs don’t work because everything feels very “framed”. Here the pedestrians are on the either side of this extreme FOV which leads the eye out of the frame, and I think that photographs which do these are generally more successful.
This panorama is stitched using 16 5184 x 3456 RAW images and resulting in a 10916 x 4411 image which spans 179-degree field of view (FOV) horizontally and 79-degree FOV vertically.
You can use a fisheye, I guess, but you will still be limited by resolution. Not to mention that fish eye lenses will distort the image and I prefer vertical lines because straight lines.
Stitched using Hugin 2012’s Panini projection.

Unlike mainland China, bicycles are not considered a primary form of transportation. But bicycle lanes are everywhere in Ma On Shan, and people do ride it everywhere. Cycling is a good form of exercise.
In Hong Kong, you can ride along the 3.2 km long Ma On Shan promenade spanning an area of 5.2 hectares (sometimes pictured in my “Serenity” series) while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Tolo Harbor and Sha Tin Hoi.
I don’t exercise much these days so I might get a bike to do it. Of interest: although the promenade itself is a smoke-free zone, ashtrays are provided along the cycling lane. I don’t think that I have ever biked and smoked before. There will always be a first time, I suppose.

I feel that it is important to have a shot with the name clearly spelled out so this is a shot for that.
I bought the 100-400 rather recently and have not tested fully how far the depth of field would go so I shot many of the photos for this set in the f/8 range where possible.
For most of the Canon lenses, the f/8 is generally the sweet spot. Many people think that stopping further would be sharper, but actually when you go towards f/22, optical diffraction would become noticeable and thus rendering the image “less sharp” overall.
I only had one shot at this so not having had much experience with this lens, I just went with something at f/8 range—thankfully the Canon EOS 6D’s high ISO range is quite usable, unlike the 7D.

“DJ Rainbow Teddy mixing his next hit after Madonna called” #CCBY #Crazyisgood
Bert+Ernie are no longer with me. They stayed behind in New York along with 95% of my other friends. But I took rainbow bear with me. It was given to me by a dear friend. So toy stories from now on will be about mostly Rainbow Teddy.
I remembered what my mom says when she saw Rainbow Teddy. She says: “有冇搞錯呀?!” Which literally means “did you get it wrong?” Or rather most appropriately mean in modern language WTF?!
Well, evidently Teddy doesn't give a ___ about my mom’s comment either because he is working on a new single right now. But he won’t tell me what it is because when Teddy is busy he hates it when someone disturbs his “flow”—which SML totally “gets”. :)
DJ Rainbow Teddy was handmade with love in Vermont in the US by Vermont Teddy Bear in case you are wondering. Here photographed with his mastering headphones AKG K701 and the Denon X800.

These wooden shed-like structures were found inside a park in Hong Kong.
Unlike normal sheds which actually shields the rain, it is left bare and slotted with the bare frame. Ivy-like plants are then planted on them to create something which can best be described as half man-made and half naturally formed. When the plants are finally growing, they do function somewhat like a small tree.

I was wrong—it seems that you do still need a pano head even with modern technology.
Previously I made the opinion that modern software should be able to stitch these images shot using normal pan heads [1] and that the pano head is mostly a luxury items. But when I actually worked on the image it appears that I was very wrong about it.
As you see here the seams a highly problematic at the near end of the lens. The far end is always going got be ok, but he near end poses challenge for Hugin it would appear.
SML Apologies—but I never said that I am always right.
This 360-degree pano is stitched using 24 full-resoltion 7D RAW files. Trust that when I get a pano head I will revisit this.

The boys are at it again at Tolo Harbour today. They are doing a lot better than the last time I saw them. Based on the size of their upper body, it would seem hat this is a good exercise for upper body strength.

Yin and Yang motifs seen at an open air plaza in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. Unlike Western modernist architectural forms in the Bauhaus tradition which are heavily driven by orthogonal forms, curves play a big part in connecting elements together in China to create flows which echo with the humanistic qualities better than straight lines.

The Light-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis 白頭鵯), also known as the Chinese Bulbul or 白頭翁 in Chinese, is a bird and a member of the bulbul family [1, 2, 3].
These birds are common in East Asia, and they feed on fruits and insects (pictured). They are mostly characterised by their black heads with a large white patch covering the napes and bellies. Their wings are in yellow and green stripes.
Bulbuls breed in the fall seasons, and tend to cluster together in the woods to call in a “cha-ko-lee...cha-ko-lee…” sound.
