Hong Kong – The Peak At 5pm we were standing on top of the observatory on Victoria Peak, looking out over the vastness that is Hong Kong. We were 2.5 hours early, claiming our spots before the hoards turned up. We weren’t allowed to sit, making our wait a little bit less comfortable. 2 hours […]

Crooked Apartments In Hong Kong These ancient looking apartments were simply too good not to shoot. As we set up, locals of all ages came by and asked us what we were doing. Groups of residents gathered around looking up at the top of the towers, trying to figure out what it was we were […]

Golden Rays of an Eastern Sunrise There comes a point when a photographer begins to doubt the intentions of the weather gods. After four 4:00am wake ups, and four failed sunrise shoots, my faith was beginning to wane. As we slowly meandered to our usual spot, way up high on Victoria peak, it was too […]

Streaming Light Trails The drizzle and cloud greeted us once more on Victoria Peak at 4.30am this morning. This time we didn’t even take our cameras out. We sat for a couple of hours and watched the city wake up. Beboy was attacked by a 5-inch stick insect. I’m not sure ‘attacked’ is the right […]

Getting a Haircut in Korea In my younger years, my hair was regularly ruined by a barber named Cyril. Each time my dad would take me to Cyril’s barber shop, I’d explain in detail the stylish haircut I wished to sport. And each time, he’d turn the buzzer on and shave my head, freeing me […]

The Calm Of Blue At Beynac As the fading warmth of an autumn evening gently becomes a slight chill, Rachel and I sit cozily, immersed in the blueness of a French countryside that prefers peace to noise, slowness to busy-ness. And we’re okay with that. Behind us, we’re watched by a medieval castle that has […]

Journal Update – Settling In Korea “Ice Cafe Mocha?” asked the smiling barista. I reply with a nod, pay, and take a seat. Only a few tables populate this quaint little coffee shop, two of which are free. Cute toys and gadgets sit on wooden shelves, while cozy seats by the windows offer a sun-bathed […]

For anyone wishing to learn how to process an image like this, please feel free to check out my Cityscape Tutorials Making the move to South Korea has been an interesting challenge. It feels wonderful to be back. I’d almost forgotten how brightly lit and busy the streets are, even at night. I missed this […]
