For our Valentine's Day weekend, Tracy and I decided to book a two night get away in MuiWo. There were a number of highlights to our trip. The transport, food, accommodations, hiking up to Lantau Peak and picture taking were all pretty cool. We decided to start our adventure off right after work on Friday. We both made our way to Tung Chung and then took the 3M bus to MuiWo, where we spent two nights at the Sea View Hotel. Yes, the rooms are a little bit small, but the price was reasonable, the decorations were contemporary and it…

Alright, it's the end of one year and the beginning of another. It's time to reflect on favourite memories from 2024. Tracy and I did a lot this year. Honestly, it's been hard for me to limit myself. There are so many pictures that I'm proud of and want to share. You will find links to blogs that go into more detail but to start off with just enjoy the pictures. I have been doing this for several years now. Feel free to check out favourite pics from 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020. A New Camera In March of this…

The Hong Kong government paid more than a million dollars to decorate the city with luminous eggs to attract people from other countries and those already living in Hong Kong to come out and enjoy a festive happy environment. Tracy and I went to visit the egg decorations near Admiralty Station in Tamar Park. One article describes it as egg-citing. Here's another article on it in Chinese. We were making the best of these luminous eggs. We saw lots of people enjoying themselves. Singles, married couples, Muslim ladies wearing their hair coverings and more. The skyline in Tamar Park is…

Here's my updated favourite photos of the year. These where all taken in 2023. When it comes to buildings and architecture, Hong Kong is a photographer’s paradise. Where do you start? There are just so many amazing buildings. Of course, you should definitely go to the Peak. We had friends visit this year and we took them to the Peak. It’s the most iconic site for shooting Hong Kong’s high rises. There’s a Pacific Coffee right there as well. It is nicely situated to offer a great view. It offers modern design and the familiar comfort of your favourite tea…

A lot can happen in a year and this year is no exemption. Sometimes in the busyness of every day life we forget about our pictures. I usually have a sense of a picture being good or not good when I take it, but not always. Sometimes a picture sits for months and may even be forgotten, but these pictures are worth rediscovering. Anyway, I just want to encourage you to take some time to sort through last years pictures. What did you take that was worth remembering? Here are some of my favourites from 2021. The first several ones…

Choosing my favorite videos for 2020 wasn't that difficult. I just didn't shoot many videos this year. Given that everyone was on alert due to COVID and a number of places were closed and we couldn't really travel outside of Hong Kong, I think I did okay. I have included one video that I edited for my students to study English with. No I do not have the copywrites from Disney for it. I am simply using it to encourage students to learn English and overcome fear. There are a lot of Heffalumps that need to be vanquished. Christopher Robin…

Hey Everyone, Some months ago, I was reading a photography blog that suggested choosing your favorite pictures each month and then at the end of the year putting together an album of favourites. I liked the idea. Admittedly, I don’t take the time every month to stop and reflect on my pictures. There probably were some good shots that I missed. None the less, here are 19 favourites that I would like to share with you. Hope you enjoy. Chinese New Year with masks was different, but it set the tone for the rest of the year. As usual all…
