The Hong Kong Golf Club Annual Report 2009

This cover shot of The Deep Water Bay Club House was photographed at dawn in late March 2010. The Clubhouse and course are lit at night by two large floodlights. It was a very challenging problem for the photographer. Josiah Leung and his crew started setting up the shot at midnight with a total of 40 HMI lights to light the Clubhouse inside and out. We then waited until dawn to get the perfect shot – a “hole in one.”

“It was a fascinating experience working with The Hong Kong Golf Club and LTD for the shot. Despite the misty and hazy weather, the unexpected sunrise finally came, worth the long and exhausting set-up of 40 HMI lights starting 11pm. This fabulous shot would not have been accomplished without the assistance and creativity from our clients.” 
– Josiah Leung, Photographer

ONE exhibition

Date: March 25 to May 30, 2010
Venue: HKDC Library

An exhibition organized by Hong Kong Design Centre and curated by miniminigallery. It is a rare opportunity to see the early works of more than 40 famous Hong Kong graphic designers, and a good chance to glimpse through how design techniques, subjects and aesthetics transform over the years.

"The class was conducted by Milton Glaser in the early 1980s in New York City. This was the first assignment given to us by Mr. Glaser. We are asked to give our most honest expression to the word ‘DESIGN’.
For myself, the continuous experiences of life are the roots of design, and the flavors of the these diverse experiences all meld into one in the course of one’s career."
– Lilian Tang
