A Thinking Street Photography Site
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.
It never ends – this appreciation for a more laid-back lifestyle.
It’s probably ideal, rather than actual.
Still, it’s worth keeping in mind.
We’re all tourists to this thought, this possibility.
It can be commercialized, of course.
There are those who buy the idea.
Those who consume it and are consumed by it.
We all gaze with a kind of desire.
It all makes sense when there’s a vendor.
Satiation.
Wants, desires and goods – a life that makes sense.
A meaning-making kind of sense.

Some more thoughts of Cheung Chau.
One photograph, one thought.
It’s a nice local economy one could believe in.
It’s a personable economy.
A joyful economy.
Though sometimes you’d have to wait for a bit.
Public sculptures.
There’s time for a conversation.
Time to stroll.
Time to sort it all out.
It’s all very laid back.
Part of it is in shadow.
It’s not always peachy.
There’re always things to buy!
People to look at.
And a wall to lean on.

On Cheung Chau island.
The atmosphere is rather relaxed.
One could dream of a life here.
It’s one of those possible doorways.
One could just stand here and admire the wall.
Lack of love?
An advertising and laundry space.
Very homely.
Though sometimes we could be in a hurry.
Oh I’m dreaming I’m dreaming of a slower pace of life.
Is it possible?
It is possible.
Maybe I’m romanticizing too much.
It’s a possibility, I suppose.
