Evening Return

Coming home to Hong Kong after a business trip to Sri Lanka.  After spending the night in the chaotic Colombo airport, arrived in time to capture the sunset view.  Good to be home.

Sheltered from the Typhoon

When I am in Hong Kong, I live aboard a teak wood Chinese motor junk, moored inside Hong Kong Island's Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter.

The Typhoon Shelter is a unique environment, with daily encounters with luxury yachts, excursion and tour boats, working harbour boats, fishermen, sampans, marine police launches, dragon boat racing teams, and the handful of "westerners" who choose to make the Shelter our home. It is surrounded by shipyards, provisioners shops, private marina clubs, high rise condos, the skyline of modern Hong Kong, and the South China Sea.

I'd like to invite you to join me from time to time as I begin to explore my new home....

For my view of life in and around the Aberdeen Typhoon Shelters, Hong Kong, you can visit:

Chennai Chutney Photo Exhibition

Photography Exhibition:  Chennai Chutney
Objectifs, 56A Arab Street, Singapore
February 23 to March 23, 2010

Photographers:  Birgit Voogt, Eleanor Ng, Karen and Laurie Murrell, Duff Hughes, Ulla Gratton, Chia Yan Wei, and Su Yen Chen

Chennai Chutney features images of everyday life in this South India City by participants of a workshop led by US-based photo-essayist David H. Wells.  The photographers, from six different countries of origin and located across three continents, never-the-less blended incredibly well together in five intense days of shooting in December 2009.  This joint exhibition gives a glimpse of how the personal style of each complements one another to give a unique perspective to the collection as a whole.
