Life has been so hectic since I moved to Shanghai last January that I had very little time for photos and needless to say, no time for any kind of reflections — things had gone by so quickly. From time to time, I ponder what to do with this blog. I’m certain I want to continue yet I can hardly find any photos I like from the posts in the last few months. Nothing comes close to these 2006 photos. A lot of times I felt bad for posting mediocre photos, for not writing much and not responding to footprints.
I enjoy taking photos, but I just don’t have the time to do it in Hong Kong now. Whenever I’m in HK, it just seems impossible for me to be in the leisurely, relaxed state of mind to explore and discover the images of life which is the essence of this blog. Adding to the busy life and being away from HK, it has been difficult to access my favorite DP blogs from China, making me more detached from the DP circle and fellow bloggers who can be so inspiring.
I know HKDP can last for a while, I’m just afraid the quality of posts are not how I like them to be and I wonder if I should make some changes to it.

Reflection is good, but maybe not so useful when the glass is dark. I enjoy your photos, even if you don’t think they are your best. Thanks for posting them.

Lisi, I for one continue to enjoy your HKDP photos…very much - whether they are magnificent or mundane. In the past year, you’ve already shown us what a great photographer you are. Despite a very busy schedule, somehow you manage to keep HKDP going: we are more than appreciative of that. Btw, today’s post is magnificent…the photo and commentary fit like hand and glove!
September 3rd, 2007, at 1:49 am #I like your sunday reflections, Lisi, and I like your recent posts too: street lamps, beach scene, magpie festival, colorful cables, BOC… Perhaps they are not your best, after all it is not a competition here
Just do what you feel like to… may be a vacation in Europe for example

I love all your photos. The glimpses of HK are wonderful and very inspiring to a writer who can’t travel to HK but who wants to set a story there.
September 3rd, 2007, at 12:59 pm #Lisi, people have different tastes. What you think is mundane and drab is heaven to me. My favorites are your photos of scenes in HK - scenes that stir up memories. I’m not too moved by your best of 2006 (sorry. they’re nice though). I much prefer scenes of wet markets, mtr stations, buildings, people!, faces!, shops, dai pai dongs, cha chan tengs, HK dishes. Your shots taken from inside buses are perfect for me.

Lisi,
September 3rd, 2007, at 9:02 pm #I enjoy so much your pictures, and even if i don’t leave a comment each time, I’m on your page everyday, wondering each time where you took so great photo. And then when week-end come I’m walking in the street of Hong Kong looking for the spot where you bring me during the week .
Dear all, thanks so much for your kind words and the encouragements. Vince’s message is kind of special and I might have deleted a lot of those photos that you would like. Anyway, it’s a good reminder.
Ysengrin, if you can go to KGV Park, maybe you can take some photos and share with us. I miss that place.
To Walter and Michelle, my old friends, you guys are great! And yes Michelle, I need a vacation
Michael, Barbara and Neva, I will keep posting until I really run out of photos, good or mundane ones included
BIG THANKS AGAIN…
