Nam Sang Wai

Nam Sang Wai is the forbidden Wetland in Hong Kong.
I am not sure what to expect there because it is surrounded by newly developing projects and building. After a short trip, I would say it is a time capsule of the older time of Hong Kong.

Half Moon Bay and Pinhole

Pinhole camera is always fun to play with. 

But with DSLR, there is a mirror to prevent a wide angle pinhole. 

Finally start shooting my "PinWide" bought long time ago.

Kenny The Clown

Kenny The Clown

Started editing photos from me following Kenny for 10 weeks.
As a photographer following a clown, it’s all about being seen on the street.


Working as clowns is never easy. 
There are rules everywhere that keeping keeping clowns out. 
There are always people that doesn’t like clown and misunderstanding.
It is painful to see a clown that keep his smile to haters, but he is professional.

Long Term Project : Kenny the Clown, Week One.

After meeting Kenny the Clown, I discovered he lives a colorful life that I can tell a story with my photography. I started a long term project on him. He sees clowning as his professional and keeps his smile as much as he can.

"Summer brings me from Zero to Hero. In the low seasons, if I got enough money for balloons, I am happy." Kenny explains about his experience after clowning for 11 years.
