somethings become old but NEVER forgotten

below is an old pug dog. most of his fur had become non existent but as for his personality, it was shaggy and high spirited. what a strapping old man-dog. then below this, is a little old lady walking extremely slowly down a passage. had to refrain myself from offering her a hand... i didn't. the little chinese ladies here  in hong kong are strong and hold pride in their walking skills. so i took a photo instead. 

china music time

went to watch some bands at Hidden Agenda, a cool venue in hk. it was cool to go to a show again, peeps were there to watch some of their favorites bands with sweat on the brows and smiles on their faces, a sight so familiar to a life that richee and i have known for a long period of time and have been away from for a while. one of HK's hardcore bands King Ly Chee played, they were great! i managed to get one or two shots of two bands but was a little tough with the finicky focusing on my film camera. enjoyed taking the pics though. photographs... you are a good friend, no matter what!

first up is KLC and second... not sure, but they were awesome!

dogs dogs dogs and more

Hong Kong is full of people just longing to be loved. Some, or maybe even most of which just adore the company and a love that a dog gives. So here's to the dogs of Hong Kong... You bring joy, love, companionship, laughter, tears and exercise into our lives...  

first up an old old gentlemen hound from the Sha Kok Mei region in Sai Kung. he is blind in both eyes, can take a super long wee and much too happy to be out and about in the heat just too get his paws a walking. second up is an old old lady hound from the Kwun Tong town of the Kowloon Peninsula, she was in a deep napping session when i snapped this shot. third running is the feistiest little pup i've ever met, definitely  in need of the Dog Whisperer, her and her owner, he was a little rough on the dog care edges. she was woofing away whilst i was trying to take her picture. each of these dogs had owners at least 1.5m away but would prefer not to be in the photo but too glad to have their dogs picture taken. I will get some images of dogs and their companions some day. gotta respect though.

two small slices of Kwun Tong

Still on the borrowing bases of my handsome guys camera, Richard a.k.a Richkraft, I took these two images from a walk to the bus after a day of teaching in Kwun Tong, one of Hong Kong oldest urban areas.

 Sometimes it's so hard to put into words why you choose to post an image or why you chose to photograph it. I suppose I normally try capture something of a happiness that I see in a moment, a memory that I want to keep.

Could I borrow your camera?

 Rich was given a cool little canon 35mm film camera made in 1981. So I borrowed it for a few shots. Here are just 2 of the shots I took... still more to come some day...

We had two of our most dearest friends come visit us in Hong Kong. Here are a few images from our time together. A awesome snorkel session and a little frolic in a T8 warning.
