A series of unfortunate events sent two girls hurtling through the startlingly quiet daytime of LKF, morning over the un-festive Mui Wo, gliding through the fortune telling stalls of Temple Street and ending up as smothered as mashed potatoes on the Dundas Street of Mong Kok. Wandering the streets sneaking shots of old men reading newspapers in order to board the slow ferry, falling asleep on the blue plastic seats with our heads flung backwards, spilling Ovaltine on the table at the tea diner and water when having stone pot rice - "let's just say we're not on an assignment, but we're having an adventure". 

Said old men reading newspapers. My partner was the cutest thing, opening her forest green umbrella to shield our actions from our subjects' gaze.

Happily plucking these adorable little cards with a chatty group of Filippino ladies! By the time we were finished we each had a little stack stuffed into our pockets.

Not really my type of doll but I can't deny that it is cute. Sadly, cute would not suffice for a news photo story.

A backfire attempt but I like it nonetheless. It has a sci-fi fiction slash Frankenstein feel to it.

Had to refrain myself from snatching them off the countertop as they looked so so good!

When we think of nightlife, we think of flashing neon lights, looming skyscrapers, and speeding minibuses. I wonder what the same term would mean for her? Indifferent customers, the smell of barbecued meat, perspiring from the heat waves of the steam...

He was a most curious one, dancing to the tune of his partner's voice in a pink, silk costume and a pair of sleepy eyes like that of Chinese vampires.

Jolliest lot on the street. Who put down the stereo, turned it on full blast, and started moving to the music

The last two shots were made by my undauntingly cheerful partner. It's always easier to do kinds of things like photographing shopkeepers with angry stares with in a pair. She enjoys capturing the whole picture, its movements and interactions. I, on the other hand, love simplicity and composition and have an obsession with colors, contrasts, and close ups. Overall, I think we make a good duo.
