A shot of mine was featured on a live CNN broadcast about Leap Day in February!
On the morning of the 29th I received an email from a producer at CNN’s ireport saying that she had seen some of my levitation shots and that she wanted me to submit a photo to them for their leap day photography challenge!
Here is the link to the broadcast clip:

And a link to the photo:

The photo was achieved with a combination of photoshop, friends and good balance from years of climbing trees! :)

The Hong Kong Photography Club had an outing last week which was called 5 strangers. The main goal of the outing was to approach 5 strangers and ask them if you could take their picture. You also had to try and get their names and a bit of a story. The outing was inspired by the 100 strangers website and flickr group following. Check it out here:
http://www.flickr.com/groups/100strangers/
I managed to get 13 portraits of some very interesting characters near the Causeway Bay MTR. When approaching the strangers I tried to be as relaxed as possible so that they could feel the same. I feel so lucky to have met these cool characters, even though most of them were brief encounters – i only managed to get a story from one of the strangers, Rene(#13), who is a graphic designer and has been growing his dreads for over 9 years!WOW!
I used a 50mm lens to achieve the ‘look’you see below – it is the closest field of view to the human eye.
If for any reason you are one of the people in these pics and you would like me to send a copy to you, please send me a message and i’ll get back to you ASAP. Also if you are not comfortable having your pic here then let me know and i’ll remove it!

A flickering fluorescent light in a small Lamma Island temple gives this on/off effect to this spiral of incense.

Ranging from photography to porcelain sculpture to mini-motorbike racing, PechaKucha (pe-chak-cha) is Japanese for “chit chat”. It is a way for creative people to share their work, passions and even obsessions with the community. 20 images, 20 seconds per image – this format keeps the presentations short and interesting.
I am so grateful for being asked to present – Here are my images from the night.

This is a video of a wedding shoot I worked at in November. If you watch closely you can see me in the video at certain points :)
It was filmed by the talented Cafe Tong, a videographer based in Hong Kong. His work is really inspiring! You can see his other wedding vids here:
