“The world without spirit is a wasteland. People have the notion of saving the world by shifting things around, changing the rules, and who’s on top, and so forth. No, no! Any world is a valid world if it’s alive. The thing to do is to bring life to it, and the only way to do that is to find in your own case where the life is and become alive yourself.” ~ Joseph Campbell Below are photos and musing related to but not exclusively to photography.

#tbt #throwbackthursday #early #work #revisit #olddays. Saw this girl's comp card and thought "damn, she's special". She wasn't even in town yet. This was @noravai first #shoot in #hongkong. What made even more #special, we went to the same Uni, lived on the same street and had the same landlord (several years apart though, cool no?) #fashion #editorial #scmp #post #magazine #photography #prada #bangle, can't remember what the #dress was, #chanel maybe? Have to dig the article out somewhere, if it's still around. #top #team #styling @christiestyle #hair @zaptang #makeup @angiepasley

So after @goldmtn finished hypnotizing HK with his thrusting hips on the rooftop, we went back to work and produced one of these shots along with my uber talented team @cherylchinawowleung @marcochan.pro, Amy Fung and the super cool @in_natalialand #hongkong #fashion #shoot #revisited #scmp #post #magazine #blackandwhite #photography #myfav #photo #editorial #yaumatei #keepingitraw
