*The Bamboo and the Bike*
Canon A2 + ECN2 250D
I love the bamboo scaffolding that you see nearly everywhere in Hong Kong but what caught my eye here was the projected shadow of the scaffolding and the bike breaking the regularity.

Rolleiflex 3.5 + Lomo 800
I had the chance of shooting a lent Rolleiflex TLR in early December in Mui Wo. I found it a painful experience, the lateral flip and the overhead focus did my head in. I was not happy about the resulting images for the most part, but a couple stood out. I don’t think it’s a camera for me, but I’m happy I could give it a try!

Canon A2 + ECN2 250D
Before leaving Hong-Kong I realised that there was a half shot roll in my Canon A2. I had no idea what the film was, so I just took it with me on my last hop to Mui Wo to see my friend Matthew. Turns out it was day rated ECN2 film and it worked really nicely in that lovely sunny day.

Canon EOS300 + Rollei RPX25
On my first week in Shanghai in 2014 a friend took me to Dongtai Lu, a (now defunct) flea market, where I shot a very similar photo as this one, albeit in colour and in panoramic. Ironically, I stumbled upon this collection of communist figures during my last week in HK, in the Upper Lascar Row flea market. It’s a bit like my 8 years in Asia bookended by Chinese communism…

Canon EOS300 + Rollei RPX25
I was so happy with this shot. See, I noticed this guy the first week I was in Hong Kong back in 2016, and I tried to take a shot of him multiple times over the years, but never managed to get it right: the lighting was off, he wasn’t looking in the right direction, he was looking at me, etc. Getting this shot on my last week in Hong Kong was something special.
