WAR IS EVIL

Multi-Storey

🇺🇦  WAR IS EVIL  🇺🇦Same as people, with their social masks and ever rich inner world, Hong Kong Island is made of layers. Sandwiched between deep tunnels of MTR (local metro) and the Peak villas, Hong Kong Island is packed with levels, floors, double-deckers, trees...

Hong Kong Is a City of Contrasts

🇺🇦  WAR IS EVIL  🇺🇦Whoever puts one’s feet on the leased land of Hong Kong these days finds his or her shoes sinking into the concrete of Asia’s world city. Every next step is a little stickier, slower than the previous one, every breath is a little less deep, every...

Facets

🇺🇦  WAR IS EVIL  🇺🇦A photographer is always free to lead viewer’s admiring eyes towards beautiful faces. The beauty never gets old. And then the very same insane photographer can unveil the seamy undersides. Or can he? No ethics involved.

Ballerinas

🇺🇦  WAR IS EVIL  🇺🇦Almost everything that you see in people comes and goes unsaid. Words only make the introduction, the rest is done by God. We are all the same and we are all so inconceivably different. Born, touched, loved, excited, tired, deceased ̶ we, the...

Encapsulation

🇺🇦  WAR IS EVIL  🇺🇦 Rumors are, there is always something present in the air of Hong Kong. Dust, mist, anxiety, pollution, hope, oxygen, airplanes, thunder, kites, hawks, drones, laser beams are drilling through the clouds and leave almost no room for clarity, horizon...

Shia Wong Hip – Something You Have Never Eaten Before

🇺🇦  WAR IS EVIL  🇺🇦Frankly speaking, this post is not crystally fair. I reckon I have eaten the snake soup before. But visiting the Shia Wong Hip restaurant in Apliu Street was the highlight of our Sham Shui Po walk on September 16. Scary, exciting, all about food and...

Cross-Cultural Aesthetic of Macau

🇺🇦  WAR IS EVIL  🇺🇦Macau by all means is a great place to visit. Similar to Hong Kong, but in its own charming manner, it really is a soup of different cultures, times, styles, religions, contrasts, colours. A kind of soup you'd love to taste occasionally but would...

See for Yourself

🇺🇦  WAR IS EVIL  🇺🇦Hey chap! Move a few huge steps to the left, now take one slightly shorter step forward, shift right a tiny-tiny bit, shake your hands, calm your breath and look down. Can you see him? Meet Nick! Blue on red. Nick says, I'm looking through you....

Photographing History—Now and Then

🇺🇦  WAR IS EVIL  🇺🇦This view of St John’s Cathedral, as seen from Garden Road, illustrates an uneasy place of faith in Hong Kong. A once seclusive church is now dominated by modern skyscrapers, bank logos being hoisted way above the Holy Cross. What religion rises...

Va Disparaître / Markets of Hong Kong

🇺🇦  WAR IS EVIL  🇺🇦 This post is about the Fabric Market, a secluded corner in Sham Shui Po, which is going to be demolished in a matter of weeks or even days. This recent photo was aged on purpose, as this is what the Fabric Market will soon become – another...
Vertigo

Vertigo

🇺🇦  WAR IS EVIL  🇺🇦Tell me what it is to be tired. Being virtually in Macau, spiritually in Eden and mentally absent, physically however I remained in Hong Kong. Sometimes the physics matters. The state of being present at three different places at the same time...

Still Life

Still Life

🇺🇦  WAR IS EVIL  🇺🇦When you cut the wire between your mind (give it rest) and your legs (let them work and make decisions), you may unexpectedly find yourself in a unique secluded place. I spent quite some time in this pottery, chatting with the master, looking at his...

Freshman

Freshman

🇺🇦  WAR IS EVIL  🇺🇦Man’s thoughts are as wild as an untamed filly. A couple of months ago a weird idea entered my mind and op la! here I am. An anxious freshman, a non-degree student at SCAD Hong Kong, squeezing my camera and about to start a new way up. This is the...
