Dai Fu Lou Painting

Here I am showing one of the works that will be displayed on the very first Dai Fu Lou exhibition actually also my very first painting on canvas and showing how I actually painted it. I actually sketch out the design with a pencil and then afterward painted it in using a light color paint first and dark colors after.

Please come and visit the exhibition on 15th July 2009 at Ka Fook Mansion in Rotterdam which is on the Graaf Florisstraat 45 in Rotterdam. Free entrance.

Back in NL

Sorry that I haven't updated in a while, I have not been back in the Netherlands for a whole week and first few days really got a major jetlag was sleeping long hours. However I got allot of stuff to do in the Netherlands, my administration of my company plus doctors visits and allot things for Dai Fu Lou. I now managed to get a exhibition in Rotterdam that will be held on 15th of July and I am now busy prepairing allot of designs and paintings.

Here above you can see some pictures of the flight back to the Netherlands, I first went to the Hong Kong Airport and then flew to London Heathrow and had to stay there for a while to catch another plane to the Netherlands. When I was back home and later that night was a beautifull sunset.
Great to be back because it is really pretty here compared to HK where everything is gray. However will be going back to HK on 19th.

Dai Fu Lou Hair Cut

Last week the day before Jona and Dai Fu Lou left to the Netherlands Jona had a hair cut session, with him actually cutting and trimming his own hair. He wanted to do this to actually leave behind some bad times and hair are kind of time cause it grow with time and can actually measure top of the hair is from last time Jona had a hair cut and below it growing from each day and rest are the days between. Also Jona wanted to do something bold and actually having few photographers capturing the moment and let them try experimenting with taking pictures. Watch the video below.

Special thanks for Alan who was holding the camera and directing it, Elden Cheung and Yandy Yot who were photographing this moment.

June 12th Pimpin Ain't Easy

Here is a new Event Video I made documenting Pimpin Ain't Easy on June 12th with DJ Enso, DJ Drafus and DJ Kazey @ CLIQ. Music is live recording during the event. Cinematography, editing and directing is all done by myself, filmed this event with my Canon EOS 500D with 50mm f1.8 lens. It was pretty hard to capture the people dancing cause the lighting in CLIQ is not really that great to film the dance area, cause they don't have an overall lighting but they use 4 spots that rotates around pretty fast, which in result came out to be able to see some people in short flashes. However sometimes there are lucky moments when the light would cross certain places making one area lighten up enough for me to film. Mostly the DJ area got enough lighting to film the DJ, but I think I should carry an extra light next time when I video at ClIQ to film the crowd. Couldn't really film the moment when the guys stole Enso shoe and threw it around only when the shoe landed in a well lighted area. See you guys at the next events!

Also if you like the video, I am for hire to film at and/or take photo's at an Event.

Cycling in Hong Kong

Sunday June 7th I treated myself to a cycling tour from Tai Po to Sha Tin and back. First thing that bothered me was that the bike I got had old shifters plus the front brake is on the right and rear brake on the left which is pretty much the opposite side of my normal bikes. But for the rest I pretty much easily adapted to it. Also seem the Hong Kong government anticipate that there would be allot of accident cause by the cyclist. Mostly cause by people who don't know how to cycle or actually swivel the road too much, pretty much of the people can't ride a straight line cause they ride extremely slow you can even run faster then some. The swivel pretty much like drunks and people trying to learn to cycle on roads with high cyclist traffic instead of a quiet still square.

The pictures are taken with my phone would not bear to do this with my new camera plus too much accidents happen and allot of the roads are very busy even though they are very wide there are allot of cyclist and allot of them are pretty slow.

This was my bike for the day a Trinx which I personally never have heard of before, but pretty much isn't a Trek 1500 Alu Carbon Frame which I have in the Netherlands. It cost me 50HKD to rent it for the day, however rather be riding on this because all the MTB they rented were extreme small I think the frame sizes are children sizes. And actually saw allot of people riding bike with wrong height and wrong sizes, too many large people on small kiddies bikes. But this bike actually is perfect fit for met a 52cm size, but the rear tire wasn't really pumped hard enough for my taste and the gear levers were too loose cause it sometime shifter to other gears on it own.

This is actually first time I photographed myself while cycling and now pretty much know why people look at me when I cycle without a helmet, my hair become like the haircut of Elvis and would have looked even more with me wearing sunglasses. Next time I want to rider to Tai Mei Tuk cause the Road to Sha Tin got way to much people riding around very slow. And if I get back the Netherlands I am going to try a video of me cycling around the track. I am sure I can make an interesting video with all the equipments I got.
