A Thinking Street Photography Site
There’s a road map.
Is anyone reading?
Is anyone listening?
There are prayers.
We’re reading.
So much to think about.
The work of waiting.
The work of gesturing.
Do not forget.
Keep on remembering.
Teach the young.

The protesters at Causeway Bay are still there, waiting.
Hope expresses itself in so many ways.
There’s festivity in the colours.
Hope is in the air.
The students are doing their homework, taking up the work of creating a home.
The umbrellas will not let us forget.
The tents will not let us forget the future of Hong Kong.
So many messages are being sent.

Another day on the streets of Mong Kok.
It’s different every time.
I’m pretty sure the above weren’t here the other day.
This is the work of bricolage – the art of making do.
The details change.
But the task of reading and understanding goes on.
What Hong Kong wants is not very hard to understand.
Umbrellas, society and home – who doesn’t want those?
Perhaps the barricades could be a bridge some day.
There’re mobile libraries here.
A community serving a community.
We’ve to learn to read.
There’s a willingness to do the work of waiting.
Cheeky umbrellas.
The minions are still waiting with good humour.
The umbrellas descend.
Mong Kok has a new look these days.
Again, humour.
Waiting.
Some more humour. True democracy is a fortress.
There’s a message here to be deciphered.
Safety.
There’s healing waiting to be done.
The police love Hong Kong too.
If there is no love, respect and peace, there’s no Hong Kong.
What else can we do, except to pray for wisdom on all sides.

Mong Kok has become colourful and purposeful.
Something is waiting to happen.
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind…
Waiting.
Intentions.
It’s all on the wall.
The barricades.
Even the minions are here, patiently manning the barricades.
We’re all tourists here.
The lion wants true universal suffrage.
The people are here to stay.
Resting.
Reading.
The umbrellas were indeed open at 6p.m., 28th October, to remember the teargas used by the police on the protesters a month ago.
It says “Stop unethical policing”, not “stop policing”.
There is still a need for law and order.
