Hong Kong is a place where everything moves fast, everyone looks busy, but everything is interesting to a visiting photographer. However, with all the tightly spaced buildings and skyscrapers, late afternoon light like this is rare in areas like Central, Causeway Bay, and Wan Chai. This seems to be a major complaint from many photographers who photographs Hong Kong.

I had 7 Hours to kill in Korea’s Incheon International Airport before I board my flight to Taipei. Normall, there are lots of shops and restaurants that will help pass the time. However, I landed at 4:30AM and I think I am one os 40 people in this huge terminal.

Since I was starting my vacation, I decided to take photos around the terminal.

Around 6 am, I saw the sun starting to peek, and I knew I had to wait for the perfect moment for the beautiful color to show, a plane to land, and a great point of view. It was worth the wait.

Shortly after this shot, the cafes opened for business and I was off for some much needed coffee.

I love jazz music, especially LIVE jazz. I had the honor to join the musicians from AACM and a few other photographers in a live event at the Velvet Lounge in Chicago. Shortly after the performance started, I was infused with not just the mood of the music, but the atmosphere of the room was also overwhelming. There was not a person who was not enlighten by the experience. I was especially drawn to the musicians and their instruments.
