You’ll be seeing a few posts over the coming weeks from my first ever Transformers Convention – Cybertroncon which took place in Shanghai from the 29th to 31st of July. To start it off we’re going to talk about a rather large display of a Transformer known as Fortress Maximus (or Fort Max for short) … Continue reading
Pokemon Go came out in Hong Kong on Monday. Just over 48 hours later and the city seems to have gone MAD! As I wander around my local neighbourhood doing my regular everyday things hordes of people, often grouped together walk along blindly, eyes down, swiping on their phones, suddenly stopping, swiping some more. “Yeah … Continue reading
Hong Kong is a city of continual change. Often that change leaves behind little of what came before. Sometimes however rare and unusual gems of a city past can find a new leash on life and a path to preservation. Here I give you one such example I photographed located in To Kwa Wan in … Continue reading

I say privileged as it was an invite only event and as the only female non-Chinese collector in Hong Kong I was honoured to be invited. It is … Continue reading
We can’t afford a big fancy apartment in an affluent area but one thing I do have is a view of Victoria Harbour out my lounge room window. It’s an ever changing portrait of chaos, serenity, action and intrigue. From time to time I look out and see an image that just leaves me breathless. … Continue reading
I know how lucky I am to live in a city abundant in relatively easy access to toys, especially for collectors. However it isn’t the only place in Asia renown for toys.
