Hong Kong Wrap Up

[COMPLETE HONG KONG 2006 PHOTO GALLERY 1280×980] [HONG KONG TIMELAPSE VIDEO]

Exit from Hong Hong

Ok, I’m going to try and type this on the bompiest plane ride eer.

Macau

Brought my passport and all was good. I read all sorts of things about booking your ferry trip back because they fill up on the weekends.

Thanksgiving, Macau, Kowloon or The New Territories

In case you didn’t know, Sha Tin Wai is not the same as Wong Tai Sin…. But that’s only $4.50 US. Which in turn makes the ferry to Kowloon only .21 cents.That’s all, off to Macau.

Hong Kong & Disneyland

In case you didn’t know, Sha Tin Wai is not the same as Wong Tai Sin…. But that’s only $4.50 US. Which in turn makes the ferry to Kowloon only .21 cents.That’s all, off to Macau.

Lantau Island

I didn’t go in to Hong Kong today and stayed on Lantau which was just incredible…. They’re all starting to look the same and worldwide they all have the same shops anyway.

Ocean Park

Hit an oceanarium thing today called Ocean Park. The weather outside was a total fright.

Hong Kong Exploration

I got up and looked into the ferry from Lantau to Hong Kong…. Grabbed and funny little sandwich in the terminal and hopped aboard.

Arrival in Hong Kong

I arrived tonight in Hong Kong at about 6pm after a grueling 15 1/2 hour flight…. I checked on Cathay Pacific’s safety rating and it ranks right up there with Qantas.

Hong Kong? Check. Cameras? Check. Passport? Check.

Hong Kong? Yeah, why not?

A Drive Around Los Angeles

1874 frame loop around Hollywood. Shot on my 20D. 1/4 sec. exposures every second. My camera got loose on a turn at one point. Life is full of flaws. A little Sadies tune for the ride. Really, I’m just biding time before I leave… [A DRIVE AROUND L.A. VIDEO]

Cut & Paste Digital Design Tournament

[CUT & PASTE TOURNAMENT VIDEO] [CUT & PASTE TOURNAMENT PHOTO GALLERY] Designers as Rock Stars! Finally! I mean come on artists deserve real live applause! The former Art Director in me was all twitchy with excitement about this competition. The way it works is two artists go head to head and have 15 minutes to […]

Little Visitors

It only took about 3 weeks but I’m finally getting regular visits to the hummingbird feeder. They’re fearless and I can be sitting 4 or 5 feet away from them as they buzz about. I can even move around and bring the camera up and they just keep an eye on me. 1/640 of a […]

Saturday Morning 8:00am

[BLACK HAWK DOWN ALARM CLOCK VIDEO] I kid you not. Good morning. Yeah, didn’t get the helicopter memo. I think the video gives a good idea of what it seemed like in my head. So, I’m laying there, ya know, sleeping in a bit. Helicopter man shows up and really won’t disappear even though I’m […]

A Grand Day Out

[MOTORIN’ THE BOAT AROUND VIDEO] In a remarkable bit of kindness I was given the day off work on Friday. Which coincided nicely with the parents arrival in Los Angeles with their boat! They’ve been cruising up the coast the last few days and pulled into the marina yesterday. I went down and hung out […]
