Date: 4 September 2011
Venue: Victoria Park, Causeway Bay
I was an hour early for the shoot. But then I really couldn’t get myself to work on my assignment anymore. I waited patiently in the MTR station, leaning on the wall, drinking Vita lemon tea and reading one of my favourite Jinyong book (The return of the condor heroes 神雕俠侶), I really was enjoying myself, until… when my beloved Chan-sir found me hiding from the crowd - he was about half an hour early :)
It was a total disappointment in Victoria Park, to me anyway. There was only a really really really huge fish made of a thousand lanterns, and few lanterns of small fish, that’s IT. Geez. I stood there and thinking what to shoot, when I saw this guy…
And he was clearly enjoying himself (though he was swearing when he saw us shooting at him).
While we were waiting for the real, paid model… here came another: less sophisticated yet more interesting one!
She was just a doll! So cute! Very curious too, when we took her pictures and my teachers showed her her own pictures, she just kept coming back for more.
The gold in her hair!!
I wasn’t interested in taking pictures of our model. I am not going to say anything bad about her, it’s just I wasn’t interested in her.
Well, I found things to shoot in the “nothingness” of the park.
Like the nice décor..
And finally, the fish.
Look at this Guinness-record-breaking giant fish, it’s outrageous, isn’t it?
While we were all waiting for the lanterns to lit up…
Here it goes :)
These 2 are badly tilted.
It wasn’t so bad actually. It was just so different from what I had in mind before I went. Anyway, Mid-Autumn festival is over now, I hope you all had a great time and had a lot of mooncakes (no, thanks!)!
