Day 64
It’s been 2 weeks since I last visited the “Harcourt Village” in Admiralty. Tonight is definitely the tensest night since the Umbrella Movement broke out on 20140928. I witnessed firsthand protesters hustling to be cleansed by volunteering first-aiders after being pepper sprayed. I sat far away from the frontline, paying close attention to the radio […]

My good friend’s Big Day. Helping out as an amateur wedding photographer, I woke up early to meet up with the groomsmen to start the full-day celebration. I had a hard time with the groom’s camera, though it’s relatively compact and light, the digital viewfinder was annoyingly sluggish, and the camera’s interface was hardly intuitive. […]

“Bachelor Party”
It’s my good friend’s Big Day tomorrow. Rather than throwing a crazy bachelor party for the groom, we decided to simply have a couple of drinks. One of the friends came back from Toronto and another just arrived town earlier in the morning from Tokyo. It was a happy reunion of friends.

Took an extended lunch to visit the occupied area in Mong Kok. I was thirsty for a drink, but realised quickly that 99% of the shops along Nathan Road in the occupied area were jewellery shops, had to get the drink from an inner street. Made my first sketch of the Umbrella Movement, need more […]

Day 51
Weekly visit to the occupied area in Mong Kok after painting class… Strolled for a little bit more time than usual as the area may be cleared out before I can visit again next Monday. Despite the unavoidable second-hand smoke and occasional swearing among people of different opinions, the atmosphere was mostly peaceful and vibrant. […]
