You Fäzha !!! Much merry making by Hong Kong Dutch community at the celebration of
Liedens Ontzet Party at Crown Wine Cellar Hong Kong

Pieter of Orange Tree fame cooked up a feast of traditional Liedens Ontzet dishes… very tasty and very rich… One with lots of Carrots and Potato.
I always thought myself quite tall in HK, but in this crowd i was feeling a bit short I think its the food?

Ike and I recently produced a 12 page Marilyn M jewelry advertorial for Presitge Magazine. The idea was to recreate the famous David Kirkland shots of Marilyn rolling around in bed, amoung the most famous shots of her ever. Ike shot and I did the post production which was long and complicated as the wig we used was not the best… hours spent painting in a hairline…
We, I believe, did a pretty good job, but please judge for yourself in this months issue.

On Monday we did another look book for Jaime Lo’s Chrissa Collection. Beautiful garments… not sure where they are available, somewhere in New York???

When asked what types of photography I do, I used to say everything except Diamonds and Babies… Diamonds pose a challenge that requires lighting skill, patience, and persistence. It also takes the right equipment and a whole lot of retouching…

It was a beautiful wedding.

I just posted this one for Ju to see. It is pretty. This is a Ruby Chip buddha. Basically it is made up of thousands of Ruby fragments formed together with resin into this work of art. This ruby chip buddha is for sale at Sanscrit on Lyndhurst Terrace.

The opening ceremony for the FDI World Dental Congress was something else. We had front row standing as the official photographer for the congress we were able to get some amazing shots of this truely amazing show. Now after seeing this, the opening ceremony for a Dental Congress, I ask myself; what is the opening ceremony for the Beijing Olympics going to be like???

Well after six years and many of thousands of dollars spent at Rent A Pro Limited we finally have our own lights. Yes, I just busted out a considerable sum of money to buy a Bron Elektronik AG - VISATEC
lighting kit. I bought the SOLO 316 kit. It comes with 3x SOLO 1600 which are 600Watt/Second mono lights, reflectors, softbox, barndoors, honeycombs and an umbrella. I also bought the Infared Triger device that attaches to the hotshoe of my camera and fires the lights remotely without a cable. These lights are Swiss made and the intial impression when you take them out the box is the same feel you get the first time you sit in a Mercedes Benz, these babies are a quality product, beautifully finished and they even have that “new car” smell.
Then we also busted out a Manfroto backdrop kit, two stands and a telescoping pole for hanging backdrop paper.
So finally after all these years we are fully kitted out.
I will be taking photos of the new studio all set up and ready to go as soon as I get the rest of the kit tomorrow.
Also for those interested apparently CANON has announced a new mid range digital SLR, this is for the serious ameteur or a full blown professional. Read all about it here Canon EOS 5D, full-frame 12.8 megapixel: Digital Photography Review
