My paternal grandmother photographed in the village where she lives. I wrote the following over a year ago, and am lucky that I can repeat it this year:

"I see my gran roughly once a year. Now in her nineties, her eyesight and hearing are slowly failing, but her mind is sharp and she is still fairly mobile, taking short daily trips either to the market to buy food or to the park to meet her old friends. I have considered, as we have said farewell on my last two trips to Hong Kong, that it may be the last time I see her. My sister says I am morbid for saying so, but I disagree: it means that, despite our inability for the most part to communicate, I have made an effort to spend more time around my gran, and have placed greater value on that time; I have taken more of an interest in the way she lives her life, and I have taken more photographs of her. Of course it is much easier to do in the case of aged relatives in distant lands, but bearing in mind during all our social interactions that this may be the last time we see someone would probably add value to all our lives."

Hong Kong, 2013.

If You Had The Chance

TGKW posted a photo:

I was approached by The National Theatre of Scotland to shoot the promotional image for their upcoming co-production with The National Theatre of China: three world premieres by contemporary Chinese playwrights. They asked also whether I would model for the image, with my half-Chinese heritage (a Chinese father and Scottish mother) seeming quite apt. Having dusted off the rarely-used tripod, we conducted the shoot under the bridge of Glasgow Central station, in near-freezing temperatures and to the surprise and amusement of passers-by.

This shot was intended only to be a light test, but I think it's quite pleasant.

No double exposure here: I explain the process by which this photograph was taken on this earlier shot. It's quite incredible to think that the two images (this one and the one I've just linked to) were taken by moving the camera an inch or two to the side and adjusting the focus.

Ethics of Anxiety

TGKW posted a photo:

From the expiry of my final Young Person's Railcard to realising that my little cousin Chloe (pictured), whose birth seems like a recent memory, has already started primary school, I'm reminded these days more than ever of the fact that, at least in the literal, numerical sense, I'm getting older. But more than that, I find myself doing 'grown-up' things with increasing regularity: dinner parties instead of warehouse parties, letting the wine breathe, loading and unloading a dishwasher, Sunday afternoon drives to the supermarket, going to bed before midnight.

Where I don't sleep so easy some nights because I'm wondering what that all means.
