A Thinking Street Photography Site
Was at the HK Food Festival at the Convention and Exhibition Centre, because sonny boy is interested in food prep and stuff.
We tried the squid.
Were tempted by those.
Can’t carry those back.
A pensive moment.
Sonny boy had those rolled ice cream.
Peking duck!
We didn’t try those beef cubes either…
Went on a boat trip from Sai Kung to an outlying island.
The famous Chung Kee Noodles in an alleyway.
Checked out various boat trips on offer.
Looked at the fresh seafood for sale.
An old lady approached us and quoted $250 for a trip and off we went.
It’s a salt mine village.
There were many abandoned village houses.
Then we saw this.
Beautiful.
There’s a history here waiting to be figured out.
Nice little courtyard.
What joy!
Kids everywhere are the same.
Here kitty kitty.
Just for contrast here.
There’re busy scenes.
People are at work.
You could find quiet moments as well.
Sharing time together.
Alone together.
Or simply by yourself.
You could frame and reframe a moment.
Until you disappear and everything is just right.
There’re so many scenes to linger over.
There’re quiet moments.
Time for ourselves.
Time to think.
A colourful moment.
Crafting time.
Things get moved around a lot here.
No kidding.
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.
