Love the photo of the green tea.
What camera set up did you use?
I’m bugging people about this because I just got myself a new SLR. (Shameless plug – Bore yourself here.

Great photography! You’ve got a very keen sense of what makes a good photo.

I would’ve posted this on the tagboard, but it’s not working for me.
Anyways, does anyone know if typepad is fully accessible in China still, I ask b/c of friend of mine can’t get in anymore and neither can anyone else at her school.. 😦 . Hopefully this is only temporary.
thanks

I used a Pentax Optico digicam that cost just over HKD 2500. In some ways a very “cheapo” camera compared to yours Eshin!!! Wow.. It’s true it’s not the camera but what you take. Good luck in your new hobbie and I wanna lay my hands in the party invites you seem to have the dips on! 🙂

Well, my set up was 500 bucks more expensive so not really that much more expensive! And yes, the camera seems to be only part of the equation in good photography. I’m also having to cope with regressing in technology…film!
Yes, sure you can come (check yer inbox for the invite). As long as you promise to keep the politics at home. I’ll have my brown shirts out enforcing my fascist lifestyle making sure that everybody drinks at least the statutuory minimum alcoholic requirements, the guys leer at the officially proscribed quote of girls, and girls leer their proscribed quote of me, etc etc. etc. It won’t do for my future dictator political career if I’m seen caught dead with a pro-demo gal like yerself. 😉
Just kidding…the more the merrier!

Okay.. although I was more than happy to agree to the statutuory minimum alchololic requirement. 🙂
Oh, I was planning to invite the WHOLE of Glutter’s readership… whadda ya mean I can’t? Don’t worry I ONLY have about FIVE Hong Kong based readers, everyone else is from abroad.
Although leering at you may be quite tempting, not sure if others will make the trip this far down. Anyway, aren’t you insulting people some where else on this blog anyway? No one likes you and I grudgingly accept your pressence. 😛
But free drinks always win out to political affiliation! (actually I don’t talk politics in real life, except with those who I know are in absolute agreement, I find my friends more socially acceptable that way.)

I’m insulting someone, somewhere all the time. Nothing new, it’s part of the package so to speak.
And yes, I realize that no-one likes me. That’s why I’m scraping the dregs of the barrel and inviting you to come along. 😛

Actually, I like the Primordial Wine photo a lot better. The reflection of the photographer and the background intergrates itself into the main subject matter in an interesting way.
