Back in the 1980′s when Ridley Scott was directing Bladerunner, he based the look and feel of the fictitious city of the future on Hong Kong & Tokyo. After being here for 20 years, I can see why…

Fan Yang is a bubble artist. He has earned international acclaim as a result of his complex displays of bubble theatre. Fan Yang has broken bubble-related world records on numerous occasions. Yang has a show in New York called the “Gazillion Bubble Show” and has appeared on many TV shows including Oprah.

At a recent event I had to shoot in Macau, I captured this beautiful pair of salsa dancers, who were performing behind a backlit screen. It really helped show the true passion and feeling of salsa! Erotic, sensual, fun and energetic.

Invited to help photograph the first “Paddle For The Planet” which is held globally. To get a little more of an interesting angle I decided to try and get run down by the flotilla setting off from the beach in Deep Water Bay, Hong Kong. Great turn out, and a wonderful day.

RA had it’s soft opening last week and I must say the food is excellent and the ambiance very relaxing. They have also added more vegetarian options, which will definitely make me an even more frequent visitor.. Also probably one of the best places in Hong Kong to kick back and watch the harbor whilst enjoying a properly prepared shisha.
