[ PS How clever, this is a scheduled post, as you read this I will be in a posh hotel in Istanbul. ]

You gotta love girls who claim their rights as 21st century females to piss wherever they want. Hell yeah!

Somewhere in Peckham.

If I could describe January in terms of a train, it would most certainly be the Hong Kong Airport Express, as it’s passing under Tsing Ma Bridge. If you’ve been on it you’ll know, maybe. Anyways here are some moments from this month.

Pre-drinks at mine one snowy Saturday. Rob, Petra and Dracula’s daughter below.

Little Ms Amazing Petra.

Iris

That night my bathtub decided to regurgigate the collective shit again. Lovely. This is the tub in it’s better state, you should’ve seen it and smellt it on the night. Said hello to showering and shitting at friend’s places for a week again.

There were dark days where it was snowing outside and I was watching the beauty from the warmth of my room.

My lovely Eman came back and not a moment too soon! Dinner catch-up sesh at The Diner.

Iris at Petra’s 5×4 studio sesh.

And this ends my black and white film-using phase. Totally over it. Can’t develop a good roll to save my life, or a turtles’.

Chilling with my awesome grandfather in Geneva, Switzerland.
August, 2007.

…was a good month. There was Christmas cookie baking and movies at Petra’s with Vicki.

And Sara.

There was ice skating at Tower Hill with Finn and Iris.

There was chillage at the diner after.

There were dinner parties like the one Nikoo had at her flat in London Fields.

Nikoo and Kristen.

Rachel

And at Kelsang’s in Finsbury Park.

There was flying back to Hong Kong for two weeks and chilling with the Hefti’s and my god mother and the new parrot.

There was hanging with Andi at Noon Day Gun.

There was the view from my new place which I don’t like.

There was the view of what used to be Queen’s Pier and is now being turned into whatever the government has planned, a waterfront park? Probably some artificial ‘paradise’ with grass that you can’t step on again. (Dislike).

There was a lot of snail paced monged out travel sessions on the trams which I love.

There were brunch club sessions with Payal and our macbooks.

There was Dim Sum lunches with my dad and bro.

And brunch club chillage with Emma.

LCA. T-max 400.
December 2009, London & Hong Kong.

So I’ve been in Hong Kong for a couple of days now. Trying to shoot more digital stuff but I’ve sort of lost my digital vision from shooting too much film! Working on some shoots and projects and just general catching up. Hong Kong Hong Kong! City of lights and life and…Anyways here are some digital snapshots from random moments in the past days.

View from my living room:

Mother walking down to Causeway Bay:

The one thing I make sure I always do is get on a tram. I love how they’re so inside vs outside, connection with the city in a contained environment. So beautiful.

My lovely Kanch had her Christmas party at her new studio two floors up from the old one. Holgie and Kanch:

And the lovely Claire

Kanch and Me

Payal, my nook. We are puzzle pieces that fit together, much like Pangaea back in the day.

Grace and Payal

U R SOMEONE.

Kanch and Son-I-A.

The new studio space is loverrrrly.

Met Jon and Lynn for drinks in Soho.

Pav came along. We like him now.

Wyndham Streeeeet.

Met Anya. Haven’t seen her in a yeaaar.

Jess came along.

Jon, Freya and Pav @ Baby B.

Kevin

Freya was obsessed with trying to get a sharp picture of me.

In a park in midlevels. Rndommm.

McDonalds for burgers and hashbrowns.

Cab at 6am after Jon threw his folder out the window in anger. And then cab driver started lecturing me on staying out too late and how bad my chinese was. Jerrrk haha. I heart HK.

That’s all for now! Sorry for the slow updates. Will have something good to put up soon hopefully. x

Developed this b/w roll today, random snapshots from recent times featuring mostly Petra and Vicki. London life!

Pre-drinks at my flat post handing in essay. Desperate need for a night out. Vicki and Sis:

I think she was demonstrating the size of something phallic.

Petra and Vicki:

Rob is retarted.

Petra had some trouble in the toilet so I offered some light in the form of a flash attached to a camera.

It’s been raining like MAD recently. Cycled over to Petra’s in the rain for a healthy vegetarian meal that she cooked me (since she turned me vegetarian two weeks ago). Got there completely soaked and she dressed me up in her legging things. Fashion statement?

Vegetarian Spag Bol is actually really nice.

Jesus I love this picture.

Our candle-lit dinner felt much more romantic than this image depicts it to be.

Sunday at the Diner (free coffee refills)

Monday morning rush hour on the tube after pulling an all-nighter or close to it. Bleargh.

Putting up our work for the assessment. Blue-tac and double sided tape? Loverly.

Petra and Maxwellll.

Shot all of that crap with a LCA camera, T-max 400 film. Self developed and scanned.

Naomi is doing a series of drunken people in toilets of bars and things and she did some of me the other night at The Foundry… embarassing but fun. And drunk to have flashed a buttcheek. Check out her work here.

@ The Foundry, Great Eastern Street.

Roxy. 8:30am Monday Morning.

Went to Camden on Saturday with Petra and Sebastian for some Halloween costume shopping = fail. I hate Halloween anyways and it insults me because of all the fraudulent vampires. I am the real deal. Thank god it’s winter and the sun sets at 4:29pm. The night is my friend. I am so full of shit. Give me some blood.

Oh yeah before you ask, photos taken with the Lomo LCA camera. Some cheap colour film.
