My 10 favorite 2006 photos:
Best of 2006
Happy New Year! It’s DP theme day and the theme is “Best photo of the year”. I don’t want to start 2007 with a re-post so I went back to where I took one of my favorite photos and got this shot. You can see the original post by clicking the thumbnail above. I have chosen a total of 10 favorites from last year to share with you, but if I am to choose only one favorite, I think I would choose “Wong Kar Wai’s colors” because I really enjoyed discovering it.
I interpret the theme as the best “according to myself” so it may not be the popular ones but they represent delightful moments that I discovered beauty in ordinary things, they are scenes that I wowed right away or photos that become my favorites later. I would also like to know which is your favorite HKDP photo, especially if it is not within the 10 photos shown here or if it is one that come to your mind right away

Great Post for the year 2006. We shall be waiting for more in 2007.
Wishing you a very Blessed New Year. Happy 2007 from Singapore!
January 1st, 2007, at 12:03 pm #Great choices for a great new year Leosista! I especially enjoyed Wong Kar Wai’s Colours because I got it in my mailbox not too long ago
have a great year ahead Lisi!
January 1st, 2007, at 12:50 pm #Interesting that you chose this one - but then you have so many beatuiful ones. I love your windows/doors, especially old fashioned ones (1 Sept, 5 Oct). The most memorable story was the boy in the red shirt blowing bubbles. I also love when you take out colors from most of the photo to emphasize just one part.
Look forward to more great shots in 2007, Lisi.
January 1st, 2007, at 1:20 pm #The one I had anticipated, would be you choice, was the “Vancouver or HK” photo you re-interpreted. The perspective on that photo is great and the contrast of colors is very eye-catching. I thought the second runner up would be “you’ve got mail”. Happy New Year.
January 1st, 2007, at 1:37 pm #It is indeed difficult to select just one. I’m looking forward to 364 more outstanding photos on your blog!
January 1st, 2007, at 1:42 pm #My favorite of 10 of your favorite is ‘Fated to the Purpose’
January 1st, 2007, at 3:36 pm #Happy New Year Lisi! All the best to you for the new year!
Love all your pictures, Lisi.
Happy New Year!

January 1st, 2007, at 5:16 pm #Lisi - as always you post a great photo and as always, you have gone the extra length to make it special!
Great shots, I particularly like WKW Colours…
Have a great 2007, all the best from your pal in Dubai,
Bluey!

Happy 2007 Lisi~~
January 1st, 2007, at 6:28 pm #i like your choices of the best of 2006 also~
You have a lot of great photos. It must have been difficult to choose one. Great shot in colour and monochrome. Happy New Year 2007 Lisi !!
January 1st, 2007, at 7:15 pm #While your site was loading I said to myself: I am sure I will see something unique from Lisi:) And I was not wrong! Happy New Year Lisi!

January 1st, 2007, at 9:12 pm #thanks for all your beautiful shot
Happy New Year. I hope you have a great 2007 and I look forward to more amazing photos
January 1st, 2007, at 9:45 pm #Hello Lisi, like your choice of the best 10 and very much your choice of the day: texture of the ground and movement of the passer-by make the photo interesting. I’ve gone thru’ all your photos rapidly today and see you’ve made a lot of nice and interesting photos ! Apart from your 10, i like Andrew Deneault in Feb (don’t know why i find it like an advertisement of tai-pai-dong
probably its my nostagie makes me like this presentation..). Among your mosaics, i like also Drizzle in nov. Otherwise, i think your Dream Chair in march starts showing your talent, and ‘After the Rain’ in September shows a very nice ambiance! The Caged Man in December is also one of favoris as i like the idea behind. Voila there you are my choice. Happy continuation Lisi !
January 1st, 2007, at 10:08 pm #Hi Lisi. Unfortunately on dialup at home it’s not practical to expand even your thumbnails, but from the thumbnails, I know I love these 10. As always, your photos are uniquely yours. They often offer a view of something large with something small and detailed to focus on, and that’s very special. I look forward to the next year with you!
January 1st, 2007, at 10:33 pm #Lisi,
January 1st, 2007, at 10:40 pm #your photos strike me as ever so colourful, vibrant, and you’re able to compose interesting perspective but most of all i think you did a great job introducing HK to us. Ok,..long winded..my fave. are Taxi, Vancouver or HK , Wong Kar wai and whitelily
Great one Lisi! And thanks for your countdown on BsAs first anniversary
Happy New Year from Buenos Aires daily 
January 1st, 2007, at 11:43 pm #Too many to list as my favorites. “WKW’s Colors” is a classic; “Vancouverin HK” is a masterpiece; “Shiny Bauble in HK” is a delight; “Harbour View” is a beauty; “Vroom” is a ……..
Happy New Year!
January 2nd, 2007, at 1:11 am #The one you chose is excellent, but I love white lily…actually, I like everything you do! Happy New Year!
January 2nd, 2007, at 2:07 am #Happy New Year, Lisi! I have just come back from my Christmas holiday. I loved all of the Christmas light photos. I also love all of your “top 10 for 2006.” My personal list would also include: the sign for the plumber on may 1; graffiti about bus line - can’t remember dates; boy playing basketball during the typhoon in aug; and bananas on aug 21.
January 2nd, 2007, at 3:08 am #How fun to go back and take almost the exact same photo…with just enough difference to still keep it very interesting.
Have a great 2007
January 2nd, 2007, at 4:07 am #Good Work..
January 2nd, 2007, at 4:31 am #With all Good Wishes For the New Year!!
Happy 2007 Lisi! You really had a lot to choose from and all have been so good. Thanks for all of the great work and sharing you have done over the past year. I’m looking forward to seeing more !
January 2nd, 2007, at 6:23 am #Every one a winner Lisi. You have a great eye.
Thank you for always taking the time to stop by and leave a comment in Réal.
All the very best to you and your family for 2007.
January 2nd, 2007, at 6:35 am #Nice twist! Happy new year from London
January 2nd, 2007, at 6:42 am #Beautiful choice…all of them actually! Lisi I’ve really enjoyed your work, and look forward to more exceptional photos from you in 2007!
January 2nd, 2007, at 7:35 am #Happy New Year from Minneapolis!
It would be especially hard to choose the best of yours, Lisi, as you are a truly fine and original photographer! I love your choice, and all your top ten! Happy New Year - here’s to more wonderful photos and more new friends in 2007.
January 2nd, 2007, at 11:37 am #Lisi, this is a treat to see 10 instead of one. I wish we all could have done this. Claustropobia is my current fave of this crop, but that might change tomorrow–very hard to choose. It’s nice to hear you reflect on the connection you have to the photos, as others have also mentioned this, and I think it might be what makes a photo great, or gives it souls, so to speak. Best wishes for your happiness in the new year!

January 2nd, 2007, at 8:10 pm #It is so funny how I remember all the photos, as if they were mime. Well, they are mime now because you gave them to us.
Now, if I could only receive Claustrophobia in my P.O. Box, I would be a happy man!
