I've decided to be more flexible with life for awhile, and am debating whether to get a studio again later this year - it depends on many things including the scale of the work I produce, if I can find a space with rooftop access, and what kind of presence I decide to have on Hong Kong Island. But first we've got to be sure we'll be staying in Hong Kong! (more on that if anything comes of job applications from both of us)
Most people's ideas of Hong Kong resemble the dense urban warrens of Kowloon, but there are plenty of green corners to the region....ours just gets a little dusty now and then with coal soot from the nearby power station!

...and at night
Hong Kong's light pollution looks like an inferno in this long exposure, though in reality the nighttime view is of twinkling lights and of occasional flickering TV screens. Houses spill over the valley, hidden by trees and shadow.
These days I'm illustrating a book on HK with hand-tinted cyanotypes for ThingsAsian Press - you can see one on the studio table above. I'll have some more interesting projects with them to write about later this summer.
Also I've finally gotten around to placing a visible site feed on the blog. Just sign up here to subscribe, or in the permanent sidebar link (to the right).
It's an easy way to stay up-to-date with me, my work, and this ever-changing madness that is life in Hong Kong!
