Reading for the Buddha
Po Lin Monastery
Hong Kong
This woman was at the top of the stairs (all 268 of them) that lead up to the base Big Buddha.
She was reading aloud from the book to apparently no one.
"There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever." -- Mahatma Gandhi

Struggles
Old woman and cart
Central. Hong Kong
Finally, I post a "classic" streetphotography shot on www.streetphotographer.com.
Hong Kong is a very hilly and steep place. This woman probably sells these newspapers for a living and pushes them up this street everyday. A reminder that behind the steel and glass glitz of every big city there those who are just barely getting by.
Nature cannot be tricked or cheated. She will give up to you the object of your struggles only after you have paid her price. -- Napoleon Hill

Funky Old Cameras
Ever come across some old camera at the thrift store and wonder what a picture taken with it would look like?
Austrian photographer/artist Andreas Wolkerstorfer did and he has compiled a nice database of classic old cameras and sample pictures. You may be surprised at what can come out of a $3.00 box camera with a plastic lens!

Tourist Shot: Central from Victoria Peak
Pretty much anyone who has visited Hong Kong probably has this exact picture in one form or another. Shot from Victoria Peak. It was cold and foggy that day as we waited for the sun to fall and the lights to come on.
To acend The Peak you ride one of the "longest and busiest" funicular railways in the world; polar opposite to the "shortest and steepest" funicular railways which I rode in Dubuque, Iowa.
