Okay. Now I’m back from my departure into the real world. Back to the world of experimentation and some kind of an attempt at art. So. This is Victoria Harbor which is a major shipping lane and separates Hong Kong Island and Kowloon and the rest of the New Territories. As you get closer toContinue reading “Back From That”

Maybe I Went Too Far
I was doing some editing for a new portfolio. I’ve been digging back many years when I stumbled on this picture. It’s a street scene from Shanghai, China. Originally, I tried to paint it. I’m not so sure how that worked. Now, I’ve just sort of upgraded it a little. Sort of like a producerContinue reading “Maybe I Went Too Far”
Windows
This is one of my favorite “little” pictures. I made this picture from the terminal of the Star Ferry in Hong Kong. I photographed it a couple of ways. I focused on the window frame, leaving the background soft. And, I kept the background sharp and left the foreground soft. I like it better withContinue reading “Windows”
Concrete Canyons
I was looking at this picture that I made in Admiralty, Hong Kong and realized just how power the island had become. Most of the buildings that form the backdrop of this image are banks. major banks with their Asian home offices located in Hong Kong. The pinkish buildings in the foreground are housing estates,Continue reading “Concrete Canyons”

Anyway… I got up early one morning to photograph rush hour and I made my way to The Bund, where I made this pictureContinue reading “On The Bund”

Between ferries, the MTR, trams buses and a huge amount of taxis you really don’t need a car. Yet, many people own cars which contributesContinue reading “Zooooooooom”
The Wet Market
Once again, I’ve decided to publish a picture from Hong Kong. This image was made from the Hollywood Road entrance to the wet market in Central. It’s more of a scene setter which gives the viewer an idea of where the market is located among the skyscrapers of the city. In case you are wondering,Continue reading “The Wet Market”
Far Away Home
When I first started hanging out in Hong Kong, I used to live on this street. In those days, Staunton Street was aw very quiet street. There was a small printing shop, a repair shop, a seamstress and – the big tourist attraction at the time – the one time home of Sun Yat Sen.InContinue reading “Far Away Home”
The Need…
… for speed. Okay. I admit it. I borrowed that from the old movie Top Gun. I can’t remember who said to who, but two aviators were walking along the flight line.My need for speed? I like to drive fast on long open stretches of road. But, what I really like to do is makeContinue reading “The Need…”
