Printing Emptiness

'印' means printing, while '白' means white, space or emptiness.
I simply like the contradictory between the combination of the characters. Can you print space? Space can't be created nor destroyed, but it can be defined... And that is something I need to nail it!

I always wanted to check out the letterpress shops at Sheung Wan, but I was too chicken to do that alone... One day, I came across an article about letterpress printing in Hong Kong, and find out one of the shop is now running workshops for the public!!!! So, these are what I did on boxing day ...

Don't Be Pathetic

Finally, I handed in my essay. It has been torturing me for a week.
This was not fun, seriously. After that, don't know why I felt sooooooo relax... even though I haven't done anything for the folio yet. Gosh......

Anyway, I can now fully work on my folio.



Light Reflection Practice no. 2
Since the weather was so nice today, I went out for a walk and practice my 'light reflection skill'. Well, these photos have nothing to do with the 'artificial' refletion tho... they're just something I found interesting while the reflection practice. Something abstract... The theme fits with one of the exhibition books I made Light & Shadow, but um... I got them done already, too late. Yea, the exhibition books have been done weeks ago, and I am quite happy with them. But I won't post the pictures for the finished books until the exhibition begins :p Wanna keep this suprise, so please check out our exhibition, details will be posted soon.

Someone was passing these kind of paper around the studio for other people to put down what the person is... and this is my paper. It's interesting to compare the ways people see me and the way I see myself. Some of them are so true, but some of them are not really, e.g. hardworking


This is the mock up for my book project. The idea is using book as a decoration. Some people buy heavy text book or literatures or encyclopedia for fill up and decorate book shelves and they don't really read the books. They just want to show their tastes or coolness. So, why don't I just make a book for decoration. The content for this book is gonna be the photos I took in the past 4 years. Here are some of them...
