A Thinking Street Photography Site
Just a few more shots reminding me that everyday life is fascinating.
Things on offer.
Yummy cuttlefish!
Every day is work.
But if you find companionship then all is beautiful.
We all move from place to place.
We figure it out as we go along.
It’s all work in progress.
Was visiting Cheung Chau island and I was fascinated by those small motor trucks.
So I spent quite a bit of time trying to snap pictures of those passing trucks.
Not every photo is perfect.
But I think the slightly haphazard compositions convey speed.
The drivers don’t seem to mind.
Most of the time they saw me and then looked away.
They’re probably used to tourists and daytrippers.
Thanks for reading!
Poon choi is a communal dish of the New Territories villages.
The feast is an annual event at my village.
It’s a song and dance.
It’s about being festive.
It’s about the food!
Yes… we’re exploring various places to go to during the Lunar New Year holidays with friends from our church caregroup.
Many of us are not from Hong Kong and so don’t have too many people to visit.
What better way to do some street shots on the side.
You don’t always have to go on a dedicated photo walk to do photography.
Not when you’re a family man with kids (and wife!) to attend to.
This one is fierce.
This one is hungry.
I was looking for scenes we usually wouldn’t pay attention to at this place.
This looked lonely.
This looks cheery – the pick-up point for an ox-drawn cart trip for kids.
Strange directions. We get to eat ice cream in a ditch.
Nature and culture.
This is really a nice place to wander around – the kids had fun riding and feeding ponies.
They also got to pick strawberries on the farm.
Walking around Sai Kung Town.
We were standing around waiting for the shop to open. Apparently they have fried Oreos which the kids wanted…
I like the witty name though. Wonder if the owner’s name is really Chip.
So we walked around for a bit.
The lady was trying to figure out what we were looking at.
Nice street exhibit.
Hard at work.
Outside a seafood restaurant – the obligatory scene to take at Sai Kung.
And yes – fried Oreos!
Just a few images on the theme of peace.
We all want this.
Though sometimes we imprison ourselves with all that glitter.
We need to go back to basics.
That feeling of an evening stroll.
A clearing of our mind.
Peace.
We’ve about 2 hours to kill, so what better way to do it and get a bit of mild exercise than to go hiking, from our village to the next.
The theme of the day – rustic beauty. Debris at a nearby beach.
The colours are nice.
Up the steps.
Light at the end of the path.
Car, abandoned.
Nice green window.
Window and scarred wall of an abandoned village house.
Discarded electrical board.
Village road sign.
Nice open view.
Bye bye village!
At the TST waterfront.
A bubby tent thing for kids I think.
Dreamy hazy glow.
Cultural Centre with a ghostly look…
A clearer view of the waterfront.
Where are we going?
The ice cream mobile.
The obligatory Orientalist shot of Chinese junk ship sail.
Watch your step!
Buskers … argh … someone’s finger got in the way. Still, I think it’s nicely flawed.
Nice architecture.
Time to walk …
Compositions like these are strangely satisfying …
It’s not difficult.
But the lines seem to be exerting a kind of tension.
Everyone’s in a hurry.
Rush rush rush.
Quick, quick.
She’s sauntering…
Time to slow down…
It’s a simple idea – one I’ve used many times.
A simple wall with interesting texture.
A window.
And equally interesting people.
The composition takes care of itself.
