Hong Kong – Stuck in Customs

The Commute Across the Bay in Hong Kong on a Rare Foggy Morning…

Daily Photo – The Commute Across the Bay in Hong Kong on a Rare Foggy Morning…

Here’s another one of the images from my 1000 Stories from 1000 Places NFT drop. It sold out in minutes, but they are now available to trade on OpenSea and X2Y2, etc so be sure to check them out.

On our last day here, we took a ferry over to Macau. Right before the ferry, we went through customs because there’s still a whole process to go from Hong Kong to Macau, even though they are both in China. I had to get a multi-pass (Fifth Element Style) entry Visa for China because I was going in and out so much. I still find the whole customs process to be so slow, especially in light of new tech. Anyway, at least it was a pretty morning!

Because of the intense density of China, most of the public and private space can be very confining. The Chinese people themselves, I notice, often stand closer to me than any other culture. After generations of being mashed together, they have a different sense of space.

A Chunk of Hong Kong

Daily Photo – A Chunk of Hong Kong

I had a lot of fun flying around the city a few years ago, grabbing some of the less common angles and then creating some fun abstract images. Here’s one of the more normal takes.

Beautiful Cities of the World

Daily Photo – Beautiful Cities of the World

Hong Kong is one of the fifty cities featured in my “Beautiful Cities of the World” NFT drop on OpenSea. There are locations from every continent in that collection and there are a bunch of them from Asia, especially the night shots, which really stand out for me. Oh, and some of them are animated which is really fun. Check them out via OpenSea or find out more on my fine art website.

Series 2

Daily Photo – Series 2

One of my favorite shots from Series 2 of my Fine Art prints collection. It’s called Little Boxes Made of Ticky-Tacky and was taken in Kowloon. A collector in the US just took delivery of one edition of this print (1.15 x 1.50m) and I’m looking forward to seeing a pic of it installed in their home. 🙂 You can see more of the Series 2 collection over here.

Hong Kong Nights

Daily Photo – Hong Kong Nights

To get this look, I used my Movie Night Presets pack which I really recommend. It doesn’t work on all photos, but if you want to give your night photos a little bit of an interesting look, I recommend it. It’s heavily inspired by Blade Runner and a lot of other “dark movies” that I enjoy.

Here’s a sneak preview of the drop and a little bit about the pricing strategy. I don’t really know if it will work or not. I have very low expectations… so I guess we will see!

Heading to Tosca Di Angelo in Hong Kong

Daily Photo – Heading to Tosca Di Angelo in Hong Kong

When we started the tour across Asia, we began here at the Ritz-Carlton in Hong Kong. It’s quite the showpiece! All of these hotels are nice, but this one was like extra-ritzy. This is one of the restaurants there called Tosca Di Angelo. The food was amazing and so was the photography options!

Exploring the Architecture of Hong Kong

Daily Photo – Exploring the Architecture of Hong Kong

Photography is a great sport because it’s solitary and gives you some amazing adventures to have at night. It also gives you a reason to walk around the city and discover new things. The muggles like to explore cities too, but they are usually on their way for an actual purpose: bar, restaurant, or shopping. It’s nice the photography has no real purpose other than wandering and finding things you did not expect.
