The Dark City
I took this in 2004, was thinking about it after posting the pic of Ev's kindergarten building below which is in the same area - and went back to take a look - I really like it - it's as I imagine soviet era architecture to be - superstark; razor-blue sky - incredibly intimidating I think.

Faceplant and colours
Ev started off the weekend with a late Friday afternoon face-plant on the beach. I wasn't there, but she tells me that he was pushing his yellow truck at high speed, crashed it into a crest on the beach, went flying over and didn't manage to get his landing gear out. Ouch. What you can't see is that he's also missing skin on his forehead. I hope you got my message yesterday, lovely person, we were thinking of you.
These are the buildings that Evan's nursery school is at the bottom of. They are housing estates - mega blocks of flats in Hang Hau - the dark city as we call it - quite intimidating looking (particularly collectively), but very friendly up close.
This is Sasha - my dear friend Jacques and Michelle's daughter. She's my god-daughter, and four, a few months older than Ev. In Hong Kong terms we live far apart - perhaps another way to look at it would be three types of transport apart - a bus, a train, and a ferry. Ev is dead keen to have her come to his party - a looong journey for a couple of hours though.
This is Lara, friends of our's daughter - she is very groovy - though much smileyer than this photo - which I love because of it's colours - her amazing firey hair, fantastic brown eyes. She's quite a cracker is Lara. When she was a little girl she ruled with a high volume, high octane temper - but she's mellowed into a really cool kid.
Finally, I like the one of Aiden below too, also for it's colours - though the photo itself has him looking slightly apprehensive.
