"Chloe founded 'Write or
Die' six months after arriving
on the island. 'I think a
lot of people benefit from
having feedback and
encouragement from a supportive
community,' she explains,
'so when I put a call out and
asked if there were any writers
who wanted company, I was
inundated with messages.'..."

Many people are staying home
during the Covid-19 pandemic,
taking up new hobbies like
baking or knitting. My main home
hobby, besides running this
Lamma-zine, has become creating
fractal computer graphics with
the amazingly powerful
Mandelbulb 3D
program.
See #53-55 above in my current
series, variations of the same
set of fractal formulas, tweaked
and experimented on over days
with varying parameters, then
rendered overnight in high
resolution on my home office PC
(click to enlarge).

resolution at
Lamma Gung Art & Photography.

"The Hong Kong History
Podcast are recordings of
conversations between two Hong
Kong resident neighbours, who
share a fascination with Hong
Kong's intriguing and
complicated history but with an
emphasis on Hong Kong's story as
a major port."
Fascinating and very informative
podcast by my close neighbours
DJ Clark and
Stephen Davies!
6 weekly episodes so far, with
frequent details of Pak Kok's
and Lamma's history:
Beginnings, What happened next,
The blockade, Steamy disasters,
World War I, World War 2.
They're taking a Xmas/NY break
for now as Stephen and his wife
are laying low in the UK for
now, plus they'll be in extended
hotel quarantine after returning
in a few weeks.

"Little Thai is positioned
between the tennis courts and
the beginning of Snake Path,
making up half of a distractive
pair of neat and colourful
single-storey shops. On
weekends, the entrance of Little
Thai is barely visible with
crowds of visitors gathering to
browse products and buy a bag of
Sabina's famous Thai prawn
crackers on their way to the
beach. 'I lived in Phuket
for many years, I got to know
what the tourists like',
Sabina says with a smile...."

Congratulations to Harry, very
impressive! I'd suggest to
negotiate a big bonuses for such
great social media figures from
the SCMP.
Wow, these are numbers that the
Lamma-zine is only dreaming of,
on and off Facebook. Our views
have been decreasing since the
days of 4+ million monthly hits,
but are still by far the highest
for any Lamma-related website.
Email/message me if you
disagree! ;~}

Another amazing photo from
Mute Planet's
Mark Malby! A
little secret beach 5 minutes
from the YSW ferry pier, a
favourite spot of myself and
other photographers. Amazing
views of YSW bay from inside
that pavilion!

Mark's one of my inspirations.
This is the best sunset I manage
to capture these days, see
above. Gotta try harder!

The People of Lamma Island/a>

"...With Flor hailing from
Argentina, and Carlos from
Spain, the pair have travelled
the world performing for various
theatres and circus companies,
but they never feel far from
home; 'Circus is like
family because we are connected
in sharing this skill,' Flor
says. 'The circus community
is really supportive,'
Carlos adds.
Lamma provides Flor and
Carlos with the ideal space to
practice their art. The sandy
beaches act as a safer
alternative to concrete when
they try a new trick, and the
open areas of their village
remove the constraints of walls
and ceilings, giving them
complete freedom to create new
routines. The culture of the
island also acts as inspiration
for them, 'Lamma is an
artistic island, full of many
different people, and everyone
has something to offer,'
Carlos explains, 'it feels
like family, everyone looks out
for one another. That is the
soul of the island'..."

P.S. Wow,
exactly 1 year since the last
day of my last exhibition.
Skipping 2020, let me try for
another show this year, anywhere
in HK. Suggestions?
