Travelling Asia as a Regional Manager
Hong Kong
The world is awash with amazing time-lapse shots taken by those much better than I. Whatever camera I have at the time I point it out of the hotel window and shoot, be it with auto time-lapse mode or RAW files compiled from the 6D. I have learnt more and more as I go along but the most pleasure I get is not from producing a master piece (I don’t) of the genre but from looking back and appreciating how lucky I am to have seen so much.
I still love, like the little kid I am, riding on the top deck of the trams in Hong Kong!
At only HK$2.30 (30 cents) it represents the cheapest and one of the best ways to take in the vibe of Hong Kong life.
I notice there is a growing number of new trams but thankfully they have retained most of the charm of the originals.
Just a little iPhone movie of getting around in Hong Kong last week.

I have been strangely drawn to photographing fire-hydrants during trips recently.
There is a lot of design effort put in many mundane items that make civilised (and safer) life possible in our cities and towns.
Will add more as I come across them…
Update:
Tokyo added!
I usually bitch and moan about taxi and taxi drivers but in Hong Kong they are great, lots around, use the meter and give you change. What more can you ask for?
A spare weekend in Hong Kong gave me time to have a walkabout near my hotel in Soho area.
