thx karin for going with me on sat....
sunday... i went to the following exhibit at shek kip mei:
it is about the first/oldest communal/social housing in hong kong built in the 50's after the great fire that left many homeless in shek kip mei... to resolve the housing issue, these "H" plan apartments were constructed.... each unit was 120 sq.ft... and at the time housed 4-6 people... there was not enough room and many were even sleeping in the communal hallways and areas instead.... now.. afte 50-60 years, the housing department of hk has officially offered new social housing in the area for the residents here, and will commence demolishment of these constructions later this year.... i came here to see the photography exhibit displayed around the site... i think it was the perfect location for the photos... it was displayed right on the fence that now surrounds the building..... there's nothing better than having the site context as the backdrop/location for the exhibit... i think it made it even more touching... it only made sense.... this way u can understand the emotions inside the photographs so much more...
i cannot imagine what the exhibit would be like.. if it was on white walls in an air-conditioned gallery... so.. after an hour under the hot 30+ degree sun.... i was dehydrated.... went back to mtr station... and headed to find karin....
here she is:
haha.. this was dinner... b4 that .. we were in mongkok... and then playing games at those chuck 'e' cheese like arcades.... then at dinner... we had fun with my baby...
karin... sneaking some nice photos of me... this doesnt even look like me...
look... its the same nite... and already i look like a different person...
i think a very sweet photo... the "pair" of chopsticks adds to the sweetness... (very symbolic... like one of those photos wedding photographer would take)
