scrolling through 12 pieces of moments back in 12 months ago in town.

actions & sentiments intertwined — but without the photo archive, if you ask where I’ve been to last September, it would be a hard task… mainly because of my ability to recall memories has been declining since COVID (& ofc getting older each year)

anyway, as we are approaching the final few months of the year, September would always serve as a mini restart to me, not only because of the beginning of school term (which is irrelevant to me now), but also early September is my freelance anniversary since 2017… yes, time flies, & I know I still have a lot to improve & adapt.

and although the temperature in HK is still high in September, we can occasionally feel the autumn breeze at night if we’re lucky. daytime is getting shorter day by day, & sunrise/sunset colours are shifting to a more smoky & subdued palette… ghost festival vibes quickly turn into mid-autumn vibes etc… these are the impressions of Hong Kong’s September

Every year during the lunar month of July, there are Chinese rituals happening in different districts of Hong Kong. We call it the Yu Lan Festival (盂蘭節) — where temporary bamboo sheds (棚戲) pop up for a short week on neighborhood playgrounds, transforming concrete urban spaces into open, glowing arenas.

Among all the traditions, catching the ritual opera (Shengongxi 神功戲) is my absolute favourite. Sitting under the giant, temporary bamboo scaffolding structure — an architectural marvel built entirely without a single nail — is an experience like no other.

This year, same as last year at Carpenter Park (the former Kowloon Walled City), I was fascinated capturing both the “戲裡” (on-stage drama) and “戲外” (off-stage life) moments. On stage, performers in shimmering robes bring ancient myths to life. But step behind the curtain and you catch the raw, human side: actors eating raw fruits or scrolling on their phones in full heavy makeup and intricate headdresses.

It’s this surreal blur between the sacred and the everyday that makes this ritual so intriguing.

Have you been to any Yu Lan Festival rituals or events? Which part is your favourite?

[ ]

曾幾何時（ard 2020前後—Covid初期？）
深水埗被冠稱為 “Shamshuipo is the New Brooklyn”
士紳化 文青化 等等等等唔同嘅 terms
成為文化界/次文化界/文化研究界嘅 hot topic

然後隨著營商及社會環境轉變
深水埗嗰”幾條街”都經歷過商舖大洗牌
而家好似已經冇人會無lala重提 New Brooklyn

其實
“深水埗”並不只得幾條街
（深水埗區面積大約是 9 km2)
紐約 Brooklyn borough 更大
(面積大約180 km2, 等如所有離島區夾埋）

用一個地方嘅一部份
標籤式去比較/模擬另一個地方嘅一部分
從來都是 debatable 而未必合比例的
當一”炸”野 group埋一齊去到一個 critical mass時
就難免被歸類 並開始建構成普羅大眾嘅印象
而世界從來都是：
有話題 才會有流量
（而有人流 業主就會加租 好似係）

Anyways, 黎到 2026 年
“New Brooklyn” 嘅濃度越嚟越降低
反而原本最 core 嗰種 SSP 功能
呢5-8年大致上變化並唔算太大
乾貨濕貨巿集 鴨寮街電子夜冷五金電話咭
福華街賣衫 福榮街賣玩具賣節日野
黃金仍然係黃金 (SDSSDHDD變黃金)
北河街仍然係北河街 (附近拆多幾個招牌)
變得最多可能係西九龍中心 sushi mall x4
同埋 farewell 一啲息微中嘅行業例如鈕扣店

前幾日 朋友問咗一條值得思考嘅問題
點樣從相片展示到最香港嘅香港
其實問題比想像中複雜
亦似乎沒有 standard answer
你可以影一張維港 panorama
又可以影一張獅子山+九龍 skyline
但係呢啲都唔可以完全「代表」呢個地方
所以 係唔會有一張嘅單一照片可以
就算係CX座位嘅介面
個 welcome screen 都係loop緊一個HK圖輯

世界上所有野都變緊 (有啲快啲 有啲慢啲)
每個時代都有屬於嗰個時代嘅 anchor points
所以在概括之間 仍然可以存在舊同新嘅分枝

that’s why continual visual documentation of the city is still quite important in this era.

抱歉 😅 冇諗過寫咁多
呢個圖輯亦同 New Brooklyn 好似冇直接關係
只不過係講開深水埗 就講多兩句而已 😂🙏🏼

late summer 3 x 3 petit courses
— Tsuen Wan Pier
— Aberdeen Street, Sheung Wan
— Hung Hom

officially trying my first roll of Lucky C400 film! as with the iso200 version, it’s not an easy film the shoot with.

if you got a chance to shoot it, expect magenta shadow cast along with cyan highlight plus bursting reds. I retuned the original scans with a touch of warmer tones but I hope the tinted casts could be improved for future batches 🙏🏼 overexposing the roll slightly to +1/3 or 2/3 could help a bit.

have you tried the Lucky C400?

Yuen Long — The Mixed Tape

Exploring the Hong Kong outskirt big town of Yuen Long on an ordinary day. No planned route, just making as many detours as possible to observe & feel the street vibes.

No exaggerated skylines.
No fabricated facades.
No touristy hotspots.
No historic monuments.
Just an open theatre of everyday secular life.

From wet markets to smelly arcades,
From pharmacy cats to random alleys,
From old 80s posters to flashy claw machines,
From light rail buzz to diverse haircut salons,
From pawn shops to random streetside cartons,
Everything seems chaotic but orderly.
Everything seems routine but ever-flexible.

Well, Yuen Long may not be the only HK district that possesses the above characteristics, but once you’ve turned on your exploration & observation radar, Yuen Long can really be a unique & fun playground to discover wonders from the mundane.
