Chinese New Year 2007




Chinese New Year is almost upon us again and as usual I won't be around for the hoopla.. but I'm not complaining. Took the opportunity of an off day to go down to Chinatown to take pictures of the lights (boring) and the street vendors selling the more traditional stuff. Was fortunate to have gone down early in the season as it gets really crazy and crowded closer to the main event. Managed to capture a few nice shots which you can see on my flickr site by clicking the blue title above.

Overall it was just an okay excursion as the crowds just got to me... kind of reminded me why I prefer landscape and architechtural photography... you tend to want less people around. Also, I managed to try out a new processing software that i downloaded for a short trial.. seems to take a lot of hard work out of post-processing.. might be my next acquisition!

Stay tuned!
