Busiest road on Lamma? Power
Station Road gate at back.
Banana trees taller than village
houses.
Past-typhoon cleanup. Even some
rooftop solar cells didn't
survive.

Our friends moved from Lamma to

Steve Cray
I am very sad to hear of the
passing of many of our friend
and Lamma celebrity Steve
Cray. The Red Star has
Risen (his famous band Red
Star Rising); we will miss
you.
So many memories by
current and former Lammaites!
Rest in Peace!
This is how I'll personally
remember Steve as The
Electrifying Performer, Mr.
October of my
LammaCelebrityCam
2008 calendar, based on photos I
took at Lamma Fun Day where he
performed.
Steve's gigs with his band,
photo stories in the SCMP and
other news outlets, photos of
him and by him have been
featured quite often in the
Lamma-zine over the last 22
years. My favourite story:
Lamma-zine Mar 1, 2007:
Congrats to Award-Winning
Prof Red Star:
Lamma's Photojournalist, Rock
God and Biblical Scholar, Prof
Red Star, has won the best
science news reporting award in
the annual Hong Kong News
Awards. The SCMP wrote:
"Steve Cray won the best science
news reporting award for his
series on British physicist
Stephen Hawking. He also
received an honourable mention
for another science story...."
