Persongalleriet #703: Hong Kong, Saturday

March 4th, 2017.
On Mr. Ming's advice I rode the tram to  Wan Chai and walked up and down backstreets and main streets alike, working my way towards Causeway Bay. All the while taking in the markets and activity all over. A truly great environment for street photography!

Southorn Playground.

If  the Friday was ferocious streeting, whis is often the case for me on first days, on this day I tried to find lines, angles and generally think a little bit more. Hard to do when there are so many people and so much interesting going on at the same time!

Wan Chai Market.

Best friends.

After 5 hours I decided I needed some rest and went back to the hotel. Rejuvenated, I found the energy to do an evening walk as well. This time walking towards the water and the Ferry terminal. Here I found mostly modern, large scale, architecture which inspired me to slow down even more and find the compositions. The photos shown below are from the last 5 minutes of my day.

The stairs up to my hotel.

That's enough blogging for now, Victoria Peak and the Star Ferries await!

Be well, everybody!

Persongalleriet #702: Meeting Mr Ming

March 3rd, 2017.
After a 10 hour flight and after making my way to the hotel, I met up with Hong Kong street photographer Chan Chun Ming at 10 a.m. Although I was a bit tired and jetlagged I had a great time being guided through Hong Kong's Central district by the very nice Mr Ming!

Alley in red and white.

At noon, we had a nice lunch of local specialties: Pork liver noodle soup with a dessert of French toast with butter and sweetened milk, delicious!

Yes, that's mr Ming on the right, with the same idea as me: to catch a ray of sun meeting with a citizen's face!

At about 2:30 p.m. I was too tired to go any further and we said our goodbyes. We agreed to meet again on my return to HK at the end of my trip!  :-)

Be well, everybody!

Persongalleriet #701: Stockholm

March 2nd, 2017.
Did about five hours of streeting in Stockholm City yesterday. As a much needed warm-up for Hong Kong and Hanoi. I sure felt rusty! Also travelled from Umeå in the morning and bought a new pair of walking shoes, streeting tends to wear them out!

Later today, I'll fly to Hong Kong, but it will be Friday before I'm there.

Be well everybody!

Persongalleriet #700: Nystart

1/3 2017.
Bloggen har vilat sedan i oktober. Har inte känt mig motiverad att blogga.
Men idag startar jag igen, på samma dag som en ny resa startar. En resa som ska föra mig till Stockholm, Hong Kong och Hanoi. Med några spännande möten inplanerade och förhoppningsvis många fler som händer spontant! Och många nya gatufoton!  :-)

My blog has been resting since October. Today I start again, on the day I set out on new travels. Stockholm, Hong Kong and Hanoi are my destinations.

En bild från min senaste resa, till Malaga i januari.

Ha det gott! //  Be well!
