where the story begins

香港

坦白說，我是一個對政治十分冷感的人。

就算是七一遊行或六四都只參加過一次， 但都是在自己全完自願的情況下參加，亦開始明白有些事如果不爭取的話，就永遠沒法回頭的。可是這些年來，連我這個對政治不敏感的人都看到香港在變， 是變得越來越壞， 可想而知那些對政治或民主熾熱的人， 一定比我著急萬倍。從來我都沒有甚麼所謂設計使命，我只想做一些自己喜歡的事， 要是得到別人的喜愛當然高興，得不到認同也是不能控制的，所以這次到倫敦是完完全全是個人而且是自私的取向。

我從沒壞心眼想過她變壞，如果有一天我可以做到不聞不問的地步，在我個人言，那香港就真的死了。 可是終有一天我也會回到我的家 ，因為我愛的家人、朋友或所有回憶都在這裏。

很喜歡阿雪的一句話: 在高大堅硬的牆和雞蛋之間，我永遠站在雞蛋那方。

寄語那些為著信念一直在抗爭的人：真理長存。

LCC

LCC, where my heart and this year belongs.
I met an interesting Italian girl today, she is easy going and nice.
I love her way of speaking. When she shared about her religion, she is calm and smoking with a rolled cigarette.
How nice.

J'attends

J'attends (I am waiting) - is a photography project curated for those who appreciate waiting as an attitude and aesthetic.

In our hectic schedule, waiting is a luxury by-product of our life. We will not wait others for many reasons - being late, work, traffic congestion, sickness, tube delay or what so ever. By all means, we will not wait in many circumstances. However, there is love where people paused their life. Take a few minutes break and probably doing nothing to wait for those who come late.

This project captures these scenes for those who are late or being waiting. These scenes are for them, not anyone.

Heart of London, an intrinsic voice echoing back and forth

It sounds silly, but I am thrilled to see snow in London. This is my first time.

7 Jan, It will be a new beginning of my life. A milestone for my life, a brand new start in London - the place that I always dream about.

Making this far was never easy, I have been trying many ways of making it works. Yet, finally I fail at the end. The first one probably is Fabrica, from the high point I was offered a chance to work over there as a trial, even it only lasts for 2 weeks long. It opens me and I can never go back to the way I stay in Hong Kong. So I made a commitment to myself - "Someday, I will leave Hong Kong, for long or short, I have to give myself a break".

A termination of life, a life that I never wanted to be, I always believe that life is more than work, work is important, but, it is not the whole picture of a human being. Especially as a designer, a graphic designer in Hong Kong. Everyone can be a graphic designer as long as you know those software eg. Photoshop etc. So what's the point of being it and I am still searching the meaning.

As you probably know Hong Kong is a city that makes thing never stay, heritage, culture even with its design taste and level, it moves faster than our imagination, but in a bad way. If you are not working in financial, banking or any money making sectors, never think of people will pay attention on you. Designer for layman is just a person who know photoshop rather than a profession that worth to be respected.

I long for this opportunity more than anything. At last I make it. I will treasure this chance as I always remind myself this is never easy.

Tomorrow will be the first day in LCC, I do hope I can experience more as the process is what I am looking for.

By the way, I am a graphic designer that bears a pessimistic and cynical mind. If you want something fairy and happy. Probably another place is better for you.

New Year 2010

A new start begins in London.
Hoping that everything will be fine.
