These are some of my first photo studies taken when I was at secondary school and the early years at university. The first photograph was taken with my dads camera at our family farm’s walnut grove. The camera was a Konica rangefinder made in Occupied Japan. Ironically the last film camera I had before totally embracing digital was a Konica Hexar rangefinder camera.

The remaining photos were taken with my first SLR camera bought from Hong Kong. It was a Canon FTB. I am forever grateful to Errol Tong for bringing the camera to me when he visited my parents motel in Blenheim.

Street Photography 2

July 2025

These images were taken in Hong Kong during March/April 2024

I am still practicing my street craft, spending the days walking the streets of Hong Kong with one camera and one lens. Nikon D780 and a Nikon 35mm f 1.8. Who needs a Leica or a Fuji X100VI ? And my battery lasts longer, over 2 days with the camera constantly on. Long live the DSLR!

On Sundays the Indonesian domestic helpers have their day off . Many congregate on the pedestrian walkways to the MTR stations. This is the Mongkok East station. I was intrigued by this beautiful white attire this lady was wearing. She looked like an angel. So I played around in Lightroom to emphasize the effect. This probably breaks the rules in street photography with over manipulation of the image.
