As children we experiment, but somewhere along the line we lose some of that curiosity and “lemme try this…” instinct. In my previous blog post I wrote about some camera issues while out on a photo shoot far from home in the great outdoors. After my experience with PLAN A failure and having to implement the best (only) PLAN B for that event, I f

Blog #182 The Importance of Having a PLAN B Reader Rating 📷 📷 📷 Professional So I was planning a nice hiking day adventure to outer Island Po Toi recently with fellow film shooter Mike [@analalogmike]. The landscapes on Po Toi are the best in Hong Kong. Vast ocean, blue skies and orange textured mountains make for the best landscape images around our fair city. What to pack?

Blog #180 F11 “Hong Kong The Way it Was” Reader Rating 📷 Amateur Ed Van Der Elsken was a Dutch photographer who came to Hong Kong in 1959 and shot some truly wonderful street images.

Blog #179 Variations on a theme (aka working the scene) Reader Rating 📷 Amateur In this week’s blog post, I want to share some thoughts (and images) pertaining to the topic of working the scene. Interestingly, while most world famous and successful photographers were made famous by a handful of images only. Upon further inspection, many of these men and woman worked the scene. Their stellar images were rarely a one and done sort of event. Magnum Contact Sheets is a book that
