Work has been rather quiet lately but I've been super busy doing some personal film projects. The 15th (yes 15th!) Lady Gaga mini parody 's pretty much sums up the situation.

For something a little different, join me (and mum) on my holiday in the Pacific Ocean on board one of the world's biggest cruise liners.

We do a little 360 commentary and tour, a whopping 90 meters above sea level.

And they're up!

Glad to be the official photographer for TEDxWanchai again, this time for a series of cozy talks under the title "Voices of Change".

If you missed it, you'll have to wait til the videos go online.

On October 25, we gathered to hear inspiring, funny, heart-wrenching, empowering stories of creative diversity from across the African continent and the global African diaspora. Themed “Voices of Change,” our speakers included Senegalese artists and architect Alun Be, women's right activist from the Democratic Republic of the Congo Georgette Biebie Songo, Paris-based Cameroonian entrepreneur Nelly Wandji who has devoted herself to promoting African heritage and brands, and Cameroonian cross-cultural designer and TED Fellow Serge Mouangue. Our speakers were accompanied on stage by poetry from Peel Street Poetry, and the night ended with cocktails and smooth jazz courtesy of the talented Chris Carpio. Relive the day through these beautiful images captured by Josh Tam of Josh Takes Photos, and don’t forget to tag yourselves if you joined us!

Wide or Square? Which one should I upload to instagram?

I know which one I like... A new series with 香港馬戲團 Hong Kong Circus. Now that instagram allows rectangular aspect ratios as well as the traditional square, which one do you prefer? ...And if you instagram, follow me at www.instagram.com/joshtamphotographer
