I took this photo under the Canal Road Flyover in Wanchai and I believe this woman is one of the many “experts” in “villain hitting”, a kind of folk ceremony which in my opinion, is quite vicious :p. See this Wiki link for more info (it even has a wiki link!!). This is the last shot of a few I took of this old lady and trust me, she sure looked very upset and I thought I’d better leave before I became her next “villain hitting” target.

There was this sunny day last year that I saw a beautiful Indian lady wearing a white sari walking past, the light garment was like flying in the air with sunlight shining through, it was absolutely beautiful. So I was trying to do a panning shot of sari in the busy street of Wanchai…you can imagine me waiting around for Indian ladies with my camera and following them trying to get a shot…rather like a psycho…

The different attitudes to road crossing, some wait, some jay-walk, some jay-walk cautiously, some jay-walk cautiously but look the wrong direction :-) This photo was taken in Wanchai.

I took this photo last night at Wanchai, and this is the giant wall banner advertisement for Cantonese opera “Princess Changping” at the HK Academy for Performing Arts. The opera is a story of two ill-fated lovers, Ming dynasty’s Princess Changping and her fiance, at the time of the dynasty’s fall. Well, it is one of the few Cantonese operas I like, tickets are about US$100 but it’s already sold out!

(Btw, I just noticed that I’ve been posting night shots for days now…I will look for something in the day tomorrow :-))
