November 2020

Hong Kong, November 2020 

原來11月影了十分小相，可以見人的大概就是這幾張。其實我一直都有相機跟身，但就沒有了那種很想影相的感覺。

Just realized I took very little photos in November. I still carry a camera along with me but I don't feel like taking photos most of the time.

美麗的花，但不知道名字。/ Beautiful flowers which I don't know their names. 影Koey多過自己。/ Making photos of Koey more than myself.藝術館。/ Museum of Art.尖沙嘴海濱。/ Tsim Sha Tsui promenade.中間那幅畫我第一次見是2013年時，想再見很久了。但願自己有錢有空間可以把它收藏。/ I first saw the painting in the middle in 2013 and wished to see it again since then. I wish I have the money and space to collect it.

會不會未來我會完全對攝影失去興趣？

I wonder if I will completely lose interest in photography in the future.

Kadoorie again

Kadoorie Farm & Botanical Garden, Tai Po, Hong Kong, July 2020

原來今年只來過這裏一次。因為疫情，這裏大部分時間都不對外開放。很喜歡這個地方，可以靜靜地看植物，有時又可以問職員關於植物的東西。不過記性差，問完之後大部分的都忘記了。

I had only been to this place once this year. Given the situation of the corona virus, it is not opened for public most of the time. I like this place a lot. I could quietly look at the plants and sometimes ask the staff questions about plant. But due to my bad memory, I forgot most of the answers.

"the inseparable part of"

With Mason & Ronny, Shenzhen, China & Hong Kong, April 2019

難以想像原來上年四月搭過高鐵去深圳，好像已經是非常遙遠的事。

It is unbelievable that I went to Shenzhen by the High Speed Rail. It feels like an age ago to me. 

p.s. The first photo shows the Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents and the Hong Kong ID card. Both are needed if we want to cross the border between Hong Kong and China.
上年Fujifilm Venus 800停產了。/ Fujifilm Venus 800 was discontinued in 2019.Hong Kong dollar and Renminbi. In the first half year of 2019, many Hong Kong young people visited China, esp. Shenzhen, for food and leisure activities during spare time. On the internet, there were many recommendations floating around the social media on what to eat and where to visit in China. On Friday night or Saturday morning, the borders from Hong Kong to Shenzhen were always filled up with people. On weekdays, sometimes people just visited Shenzhen for a dinner. A month after, the whole situation changed. I can't believe this period of time has ever existed when looking at the present Hong Kong.

I guessed all the customers in this restaurants were Hong Kong people.

Like the old days

Ronny and Mason, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, August 2020

上次我們見面已是一年前的七月了，不知道幾時可以再見。又是不知道幾時會再見。

It's been 1 year since we last met. I wonder when I will see them again.

我隨身攜帶消毒酒精。

I carry a small bottle of alcohol hand sanitiser with me.
