I am not an expert of the city I live in (Hong Kong). I have grown up and lived here for 26 years yet I still mix up the districts from time to time. I am used to being laughed at for this. I don’t know the history of Kam Tin (錦田); I don’t know its exact location. When my mom told...

These photographs were taken in Regent’s Park, London in 2007 using the now discontinued Adox CHS50. They are rather ordinary and the ones shown here are just the best of the bunch, their only distinction being that they were the last photographs I ever took on film. This was the only time I u...

Ah the smoldering San Fernando Valley. Encircled by mountains that both block the cooling Pacific breeze and trap the accumulating inland heat, it’s the Los Angeles equivalent of a Dutch oven on steroids. Not exactly the kind of place one would expect to pedal a rental bike around a ...

I want to go in there!” I grabbed Keath’s elbow and peered through a locked wrought iron gate. We had walked down U Lužického semináře street a few times during our time in Prague, but this was the first time I noticed the garden beyond the arched entrance. Disapp...
