Off I Start

(Leica D-Lux 5) Today I am leaving Hong Kong for Dubai, with a bagful of cameras and gear. I'll certainly post what I'd have got with my cameras…when there is a chance!  So, the posts may be on and off for a while.

Blind Walking

(Leica D-Lux 5) Haven't we all tried this? The young chap had actually walked along a short section of the street.

Besieged?

(Leica D-Lux 5) A typical feeling on Monday going to work? Besieged by work but let's learn from this little girl to enjoy what's on hand and in control. Have a nice day!

Alas, School Again

(Leica D-Lux 5) No wonder we are mostly reluctant to go to work! What a natural result it is following our rehearsing the feelings since the school years! Don't worry, bloke. This is already Firday.

On this note, there is a Chinese proverb equivalent to an English quote, if you've heard of it, "Keep good men company and you shall be of the number". In Cantonese, the Chinese proverb reads out like "Gengchuche Check Gengmugche Hark" (the k ending is silent), or literally "one who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black". Originally, it advises people to be wise about making new friends. But just as any proverbs which have had shifts in meaning as time wears on, the proverb is more often used in a casual and playful way to pass the buck to your friend when you make a blunder or a change. So, my new leaning on doing food-related shots could be "Gengchuche Check Gengmugche Hark". And guess what? I am finishing this with a glass of 2006 Chever...
