Dear visitors,
Sorry for the long silence and absence of posts in the last week. I’m in HK now for Chinese New Year and here’s a photo I took this afternoon at a display at the International Finance Center showing a woman in front of a Chinese character which means “good fortune”.
In a few days I’ll catch up and fill up the “blanks” in the last 10 days; and today we’ll start the countdown to the suspension of posting of Hong Kong, one photo a day after its second anniversary on February 13th.
Being away from HK for a whole year, I find it amazing that I am able to keep posting although I’m not always posting on time. In the coming year, work will be more demanding and posting Hong Kong photos would be quite impossible. It is a difficult decision for me as this blog have brought me so much joy and friends. I’ll post occasionally, and the photos may not be all about Hong Kong…it could be Shanghai or wherever work and vacation take me.
Thank you all for visiting and I hope there will be another daily photo blog on Hong Kong soon which will show you, in different perspectives, this city that I love.
With best regards,
Lisi

I hope you continue to post photos from Shanghai and your travels. We will miss you. You might consider re-posting photos from previous years. That way, using WordPress, you could schedule a month at a time.

I thought about you when the Yerba Buena Arts Center here in SF has an exhibit of a new film “Zidane, A 21st Century Portrait.” It has been a huge hit at the museum. It is not available on DVD here in states but think you may find it there.
Here is blurb from museum:
“A startlingly original and audacious portrait of one of the greatest players in the history of soccer, Zinédine Zidane. 17 synchronized cameras were used, each focusing on Zidane in real time, from the first kick of the ball to the moment he was given a red card and ejected from the game. The match, between Real Madrid (Zidane’s team) and Villarreal, was played on April 23, 2005 and was witnessed by eighty thousand screaming fans.”
“Zidane himself recounts, in voice-over, what he can and cannot remember from his matches. Magnificently edited and accompanied by a majestic score from Scottish rock heroes Mogwai, this is perhaps the best sports films ever made, but also one of the finest studies of man in the workplace, an ode to the loneliness of the athlete and the poise and resilience of the human body. (2006, 92 min, 35mm)”

I will miss your insightful pictures and commentaries terribly; you are truly a very talented photographer. Good luck Lisi…much success in the coming years and may all your good dreams come true.
