All images were taken with one camera, one lens, on the same roll of film and on the same day.
This is a visual meditation on Occupy Central.
Once upon a time, Occupy Central was an idea. It was an event that was yet to come.
It then became an event.
It will be an event that is always already present, even if it ends today or at some point in the future.
At Admiralty.
At Mong Kok.
At Causeway Bay.
Thanks for reading.
Camera: Leica M6

I am a poet and an educator. I have come to realise in recent years that the act of writing poetry has trained my mind to be always on the prowl for everyday moments that might be suitable material for my writing.
Hence, I turn to photography in order to record some of these moments. I soon discover that the photographs I am taking, using film rangefinder cameras which are more discreet and hence suitable to the task at hand, are in the tradition of street photography.
In search of poetry, I have become a street photographer.
What can Hong Kong teach me about street photography, and what can street photography teach me about Hong Kong?
This blog seeks to address that question.

Hong Kong Lucida 
yes, very nice. Hard to believe we once thought occupy would never happen
老師，我知道你看得懂中文
很想說，我始終覺得黑白最有感染力；很想說，感謝你一直以來以文字影像，跟我們在一起，讓我們（至少，我）在這五十多天，即使疲累，即使精神狀態偶爾接近崩潰，我們不孤單；很想說，現在快三點半，我讀這blog post，眼睛决堤…
好一句”always already present”，還有，the first photo is very powerful!
Thank you, Janice – I do understand. How many nights have you spent on the streets?
