Happy Lunar New Year

2/19/2015

 
Picture
20 years ago I celebrated the Lunar New Year in Hong Kong. I vividly remember joining countless others on the Peak overlooking Victoria Harbour, gathering there two hours before the fireworks began because it was *so* crowded.

I attempted (and pretty much failed) to get a decent photograph of the fireworks, but it was still a truly amazing evening. Some of those folks are still friends today.

Because my Chinese neighbors loved Karaoke — he was pretty good, she was tone deaf — I spent a lot of time wandering around with my camera to keep from hearing them do their duets. (I nicknamed them Donny & Marie).
​
The photo below is one I took of the South China Sea near sunset, and the other is Pam Wyant and Sean Murphy, two of my co-workers. As you can tell from their gear, they’re both professional photographers.

​I learned my love of photography from these folks. I suspect 2015 will be the year I go return to that love and try to regain the skills I’ve lost over the last few years. It feeds my soul and I think it’s time to refill that creativity, one photo at a time.
