  • Exhibtion

    Wednesday, Feb 9, 2011 6:26PM / Members only

    As some of you know by now Brink magazine is on hold while I am doing my MA in photography. Much as I loved running Brink, I also loved photogaphy and I has been promising myself an MA in photography. So i shelved Brink for a while and started an MA in photography.  But don't worry When I graduate I will re-start Brink bigger and better than before.

    My MA has been working out well and inspired me to go into areas of photography I had never ventured into. One of the results was Rorschach Walls a collection of close-up photographs of walls. These images are polymorphous most people don't realize that they are walls and everybody finds different images within each image, Hence the name. Rorschach was the guy who invented the inkblot test where inkblots are used to draw out the patients subconsious concerns. My wall photos seem to function in the same way. Fortunately my work capured the attention of Laurence Lai Gallery, HK's oldest and most successful commercial photo galleries which is located in a prime retail area in The Peak Galleria

    The pictures in the online album will give you a rough idea but to really see what I am on about please come to my exhibition which opens 7pm on 1st April at Laurence Lai Gallery on The Peak and runs for the whole of April.  There is a world of difference between a 72dpi internet image and a 300dpi 24 x 36 inch photogaph so please come up and see first hand.

    Space is tight for opening night so in addition to your ALND RSVP you will need to phone or SMS Eliza 91314521 Ali 96469576 or Raymond 90358432 for a printed invitation to be sent to you. ONLY PERSONS bearing printed invitations will be admitted to opening night and latecomers may not get in if we are allready full up. But if you do miss out we will also be having a closing night party on 30th April.  I will be present every day during the exhibtion from 3pm to 10pm but even if you don't catch me, there will be qualified staff on hand to answer questions.

    相信部份朋友都知道我正在修讀攝影學碩士課程,在這期間,<邊緣雜誌>會暫時停刊。出版<邊緣>是我極熱愛的工作,但我同時亦非常喜愛攝影;我曾答應自已要取得攝影學碩士學位,所以,當我正在修讀攝影學碩士課程期間,<邊緣>的出版將被擱置。但各位不用擔心,在我畢業的那天,便是我重新投入<邊緣>出版的工作,我並會比以前做得更好更大。

    我的碩士課程進展非常順利,亦帶領我進入一個我從未涉足的攝影領域;其中一個收獲就是"Rorschach"攝影集 - 嵬集了些牆壁的特寫照片。大部份都不會意識到這些牆壁是無形的,或每個人都可以在這些圖像裏找到不同的圖像。Rorschach是位有名的心理學家,他利用墨跡測試去引發一些病人的潛意識。我的牆壁照片,便有着相同的作用。佷榮幸地,我的作品得到Laurence Lai畫廊的菁萊;Laurence Lai 畫廊是香港最具資歷及最成功的商業攝影畫廊,它位於山頂廣場一個主要的零售區內。

    瀏覽網上的攝影集可給各位一個粗略的概念,但要看我的作品原稿,閣下則請移步到我的展覽。開幕夜將在4月1日下午7時假於山頂Laurence Lai 畫廊,這展覽亦於整個4月在同一地點進行;72dpi 的電腦照片和 24" x 36" 300dpi 的照片是屬於兩個不同的攝影世界。如想親身體現,請蒞臨參觀。

    因開幕夜的場地有限,請記謹致電或傳短信給Eliza 91314521、Ali 96469576 或 Raymond 90358432 預約,我們會儘快寄邀請咭給你。開幕夜衹接受持有邀請咭的來賓進場,如來賓太多(客滿),遲來者可能不能進場。但如果你錯過了開幕夜,我們在4月30日亦舉行閉幕夜,歡迎出席。

    在展覽期間(每日下午3時正至晚上10時正),我或展覽會的職員都會留守在展覽會解答閣下的問題。

  • Music for Haiti

    Monday, Aug 24, 2009 7:48PM / Members only



    Music for Haiti poetry will be on Tuesday 11th of March at THE MELTING POT in SOHO (8pm to 11:45pm (but we might go later with enough encouragement). Our MC for the evening will be Lisa S.  So all you Lisa S. Fans should stampede down there. If Lisa isn't enough for you we also have the lovely Ginger Kwan, Mark Peter of Piano, Zane Massey on Sax, Karissa Muse on Guitar and the hottest Jazz Band in town. YoMamma. Other artists wishing to play can contact the Musical Director Mark Peter. If you are an up and comming performer this is the place where you want to be seen and heard, if only because the sound quality is superb and we will be making a live recording of the event. Photographers will be there in abundance and we will be making a video of the show for further fund raising. Please book in  advance (especially if you want a table) because there are a lot of people who want to come. What you see on websites is only the tip of the iceberg. lots of people are allready booked in. Admission is $150 per head. Downstairs tables seat 4 people each but they are really at a premmium.

    To make your reservation please call the Ben Mackie 90402670 during office hours or call the Melting Pot 2559 2777 between 6pm and 11pm Monday to Saturday.  If you arrive more than 15 minutes later than your booking time then you may forfeit your table unless it has been paid for in advance. Those of you wishing to meet Lisa should be aware that she has to go to another show at 10pm so if you want to meet her you will need to be there on time i.e by 8pm. She will have time for chatting between announcements and she is very friendly warm and funny in person.

  • And again

    Monday, Apr 6, 2009 4:57AM / Members only

    Thanks to everyone who came to our last Jazz Poetry Night at MELTING POT a few weeks ago last week and a sound spanking to those who didn't. I would also like to give a special thanks to Kristina Lao and her lovely manager Raven for turning up at short notice and putting on a great acoustic act together with our resident sax/flute player Zane Massey.

    As usual our keyboard man Mark Peter provided superb backing for our featured poets Siu Long, Claire Lee and Ben Mackie. Veronique Fisher also turned up with a surprise poem and I finally managed to nail down Siu Long long enough to give him the prize he won for his poetry entry back in Volume 2 Issue 3. Mark Peter also got down with our sax player Zane Massey and did some serious jazz improvisation over a range of well known standards.

    Next Jazz poetry will be on Tuesday 4th JULY at THE MELTING POT in SOHO (9pm to 1am) simply because it's such a superb venue. Anybody wanting to read or recite please email [email protected] or ring me on 97543054. to find out about our next one. If I don't answer please leave a message I will get back to you or email [email protected] Anything else you need to know you can find out by clicking on our Jazz Poetry event.

    Thanks for the add. Must take a deeper look at your blog and your official web site when I get a minute. I just walked in the door, literally, from my yearly pilgrimage to that land of museums (and monuments, none of which I ever visit) that is called Washington, DC. Funny how in all the years I've been making this yearly pilgrimage to DC, it has never felt like the "seat of empire". I always wonder what the experience is like for the hordes of foreign visitors, though. Saw an Obama memorabilia shop at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. It was a very strange experience--to see the president treated like a celebrity. I couldn't tell if it was mostly US citizens or foreign visitors buying. I just kept on walking--I had my Smithsonian Book of the Giant Panda, which was the purpose of my trip to the gift shop, firmly in hand and I was done with museums, all museums, for the day and the trip.
