Our normal life

Tai Po, Hong Kong, November 2018

一年多前的相。

最近多了時間在家，於是花很多時間整理以前影相，同時又影小了相。所以近來放上來的相都不是今年影的。

Photos from more than a year ago.

Recently I have more time at home. I spent more time on sorting out the photos that were not yet edited. At the same time, I shot much less photos. So it turns up all the photos I have been posting here recently are not from this year.
花。/ Flower. 不吻合。/ Unmatched. 開始日落。/ Sun set soon. 漁船。/ Boats. 全片幅。/ Full frame. 風箏。/ Kites. 八仙嶺。/ Pat Sin Leng. 中片幅。/ Medium format. 飛機雲。/ Contrail. 大片幅。/ Large format.

一年多前一切仍很正常呢，但以往一直都很正常的生活其實很不正常。
Things before a year ago were very normal but the normality we had been living with was not normal at all.

The great wave

Temporary exhibition, Cultural Museum, Sha Tin, Hong Kong, July 2019

神奈川沖浪裏是富岳三十六景中最有名的一幅版畫。

我之前訂了機票去斯德哥爾摩和首爾，但因為現在的狀況，都要取消了。本來計劃了去看那些古舊的東亞畫作。

The Great Wave off Kanagawa, the best known print from the series of Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (冨嶽三十六景).

I booked my flights to Stockholm and Seoul but they were cancelled given to the current situation. I was planning to look at all those old East Asian paintings.

Stay healthy. Stay beautiful.

Again, fail

Copying painting, Hong Kong, December 2019

這就是沮喪。之後再來多兩次。
This is frustration. 2 more times afterwards.
我已停了畫畫一段時間。
I have stopped painting for a while.

A warm lunch hour

Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong, December 2019

這是一個溫暖的下午，但室內的冷氣有點大。
It was a warm afternoon but the air-conditioning indoor was quite strong.

這是一個平淡的下午，但腦袋裏都在想像各種的煩惱。
It was a peaceful afternoon but my brain was thinking different sorts of annoyance.

The shop dog concentrating

A dog in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong, December 2019

在香港，通常都是見到看店的貓。我都是第一次見看店的狗。可愛。
In Hong Kong it is common to see shop cats. It was my first time to see shop dog. Kawaii.

The cruise terminal

Kowloon Bay to Kai Tak, Hong Kong, July 2019

很討厭每日都要戴口罩。很討厭一整天都要戴口罩。

幾時才會完？

I hate wearing mask every day. I hate wearing mask all day long.

When will it end?
上年有一天我走到連接去啟德郵輪碼頭那條天橋。最近停泊的世界夢號郵輪引起很多人的關注。
One day of last year I walked to the bridge that connects to Kai Tak cruise terminal. Recently World Dream Cruise parked here and caught many attentions.

Me in 3D

Me, Hong Kong, August - November 2019

想要一部「3D」菲林相機很久了，所以之前在Kickstarter買了這一部。對它的質素沒甚麼期望，所以沒怎樣感到得失望。
I want a "3D" film camera for a long time so I bought it from Kickstarter. Not much expectation with the quality so I am not disappointed.

A hibiscus plant nursery

Kadoorie Farm & Botanical Garden, Tai Po, Hong Kong, August 2019

當時很多蘭花都開了。
At that moment, many orchids bloomed.

因為新型病毒，我都盡量留在家中。本來安排了的活動很多都取消了，相亦都影小了很多。大家都說希望可以快點告一段落，但大家都很清楚了解這樣的日子會維持一段很長的時間。

2003年我還很小呢。

希望大家都平安。

I try to stay at home as much as I could due to the new virus. Many of my plans are canceled. I also took much less photos. Although all of us say we hope it could end earlier, we all know that the days like this will last for a long period of time.

I was a child in 2003.

Wish everyone well.
