The Mid-Autumn festival (otherwise known as the Moon festival) is a traditional Chinese festival celebrated on the 15the day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. In Hong Kong we celebrate with lanterns, mooncakes, bright lights and of course, moon gazing. Us photographers of course, can't resist a chance to shoot a full moon -- in my case, at a location without a strong foreground, I decided to use some festive lights to add some color to my shot.

I’m enjoying utilizing direct sunlight while shooting in the streets — a nice change from shooting natural landscape when the appearance of the harsh midday sun usually means its time for a nap. In this photo, the midday sun pours into an otherwise dark side street in Hong Kong's Soho district.

Playing around with reflections to create more layered compositions. I liked here how the reflections seem to render the stream of consciousness of this couple, each staring into their own phone, lost in their own thoughts and musings.

I was fortunate to tour the interior and shoot a few photos of the 68-year-old State Theatre in North Point, before work began on preserving and restoring the cultural icon to its former glory.
