There’s a bit of a bug going around So Cal at the moment, and I caught it. I was pretty much incapacitated for the weekend, but I would have felt bad if it had been a complete waste of time, so I caught up on some old photos. Long time readers probably remember that, about a year ago, I went to India and Hong Kong. Plenty of India stories went up, along with plenty of promises for Hong Kong stories. Well, I managed to deliver on the first half of that. Here, finally, is the second half. Hopefully you’ll find it was worth the wait. If not, leave a complaint, and I will sincerely apologise.

I’m going to start out with a few photos plus a story here, and then, in a few days (promise!), a slideshow.

New slideshow.

I’m off again, but first thing’s first

I went to Hong Kong a while back, but never got around to posting any photos. It isn’t that I didn’t have time; rather, I’ve just been saving it for this website. As luck would have it though, I’m travelling again, off to London with Cherise in about, oh, six hours. I’ll leave you all with a preview of what’s to come.

My time in Hong Kong was fairly brief, and almost an afterthought. Coming back from India, I had a stop in Hong Kong. Since this trip was my first Asian journey, I realised I should make the most of it, and extended my stop in Hong Kong by about three days. Shooting in Hong Kong was world’s different from shooting in India, but that’s a story to come when I get back in a week and a half.

Irvine Young Artists and John Edwards

A couple of weeks ago, I headed over to Downtown Disney to photograph Albert’s youth orchestra. His group performed at the reception for the Truman Awards, a dinner hosted by the Democratic Party of Orange County.

It’s probably not a stretch to say that Albert hates being upstaged, but in this case he’d admit to not taking centre stage: presidential hopeful John Edwards was the guest speaker. I went along with Albert, hoping not only to photograph his orchestra, but also to get a few shots of the famous haircut.

Sandstone is slippery

On Tuesday, I met with Eric, Mary, and Matthew. This was something of a first for me, as I’d only met Eric before via Xanga, and I believe Eric and Matthew had never met face to face either. As we’re all avid photographers, we decided we couldn’t pass up the chance to meet when Eric came down to Southern CA for a few days.

Let me just caution to everyone- sandstone is slippery. It looks and feels solid. It isn’t. That is all.
