Before the new year, I was on the hunt for some vintage film canisters. I can’t actually remember now what got me on the hunt for them but I have been using some of the more plain ones to carry my own film around when I’m out shooting. You just don’t get the metal canisters … More Found film

This year, it took place at the old Married Police Quarters, also on Hollywood Road. I see a trend. Actually, while the headquarters and prison was a great … More Detour art fair

This past weekend was the Hong Kong Sevens rugby tournament. It is one of the most difficult tickets to get in Hong Kong but I was lucky enough to know a guy who knows a guy who got me a last-minute ticket to Saturday’s party. Party? Yep, the Sevens are essentially a party with a … More HK sevens 香港セバンズ
Recently, a group of friends and I headed across the border into Shenzhen. Thirty years or so ago Shenzhen was essentially nothing more than a small village of indigenous Hakka people.
