Invasion NYC

Back in New York.

In San Francisco

Definitely here.

Forecast Overcast

No Swimming

Tried to go for a swim today at the gym only to be met by a wet traffic of at least 4 people per lane. Had no desire to swim in lukewarm water with three lanes worth of water aerobics class, a splashing big section of kids (what were they doing at the pool at 7pm??) and a mad rush to fit into a long rotation.

Shall try again tomorrow.

Long Island Sun

Worked on a shoot in Long Island today.
The sun went through phases during its set.

Lazy Sunday

Woke up in the late afternoon.

The Buddha story

Somewhere in the mountains of Lantau Island...

Buddha came floating.

The other Bodhisattvas were thrilled! They gave him their best offerings.

But Buddha was enlightened and didn't need much else.

"Nah, I'm goods," he said and floated away.

The view

I stayed in the textural island of Kowloon during my first few days in Hong Kong. My room was ascetic with a room for a bed, small counter, and human being. The window size was, however, very generous. I drew the curtain and was excited to see my view of the Hong Kong hood.

Zipped

On the way to see the Big Buddha on Lantau Island, HK.

雨

Torrential rain benefited by proliferating local bananas.

Door in the wall.

Hole in the wall.

Brick in the wall.

I missed listening to Pink Floyd, loud. 

The guy with the dragon tattoo.

At the night market in Hong Kong.

Wong Kar-Wai City

My visa for Taiwan was coming to a close, so I made a quick trip to Hong Kong. 
Such a glamourous city- Canton saturated air, exotic lights! It was like being In the Mood for Love.

Farmer's market

Went to the Farmer's market. Retracing steps, getting back into NY groove that I've left behind.
The Farmer's Market in California has organic artichokes and lemon verbena, because it's just like that.

Protein

Looking forward to going back to my high protein diet! 
Taiwan has a lot of eggs in their cuisine. 

Officially back from Taiwan

The musky island has been left for the states, mind state.

Greatly missed-

So glad to see the cats again-! 

Back in NY!

Good to be home- I missed you!
