Pork Buns

Why one less pork?  I guess it might just as well for health sake perhaps.  This is as good as if not better than we thought.  The pork belly melts and seems not heavy at all.  You can easily eat too much before you even you realize it.

Heirloom tomato salad

This is a good one with good acidity and sweetness.  Can go a bit easy on the salt though.  I like the tomatoes and other "exotic" ingredients.  The presentation is nice without overly fuzzy.

George Lam or His song or both Considered "stale" by Some

I can't believe George Lam would ever be associated with "old soil."  But hey you never know.  I am also intrigued by the fact that one can actually complain about how "old soil" a song is to some government agencyTVB.  (I guess I got confused and mixed up with another reportage on the same article about Rubber Band or eraser or something)  Judging from Lam's getup below, there might be cause for concern.  I guess he can do whatever he wants, because you know he is Ah Lam.  He seems to be wearing the same jacket and pants since 1945, oh well.  And personally, I wouldn't button up the bottom button of any jacket, ever.  But that's just me.

Urban Cycling



Photos processed by Instagram
These shots were taken with a manual Nikkor 105 f/2.5 lens.  I was waiting for the bus and why not gave it a try.  I was actually quite happy with the some of the shots.
Then today I thought maybe with my usual Nikkor 80-200 f/2.8 I should be getting more keepers.  I actually missed a bus while I kept myself busy looking for my shot.  Too bad all of them came out no good.

Random Picture

The lens is the first AF lens I bought after having my Nikon F5 imported from the future.  I don't use this lens enough.  When I got my D70 I got it as a package with the 18-70, so this lens doesn't get a lot of use at all.  I think it's a good lens, though in my mind, a bit bland and with no character--what I actually mean to say is my pictures are bland with no character.

The Urban Cyclist


shot using my oldie but goodie Nikon D7000 and my Nikkor AFS 18-70.  The lens is good enough but I always want a more professional looking one.  Just so I think I look better.  I panned to the right in his direction a bit.  This is from a BASIC jpg, USM, and a crop in Instagram without any filter.

Barber Shop in Chinatown

 Nowadays I loathe to have my haircut, that's why I seldom have mine cut, maybe once or twice a year. I went back to Chinatown. I could ...
