**Transportation of all kinds, just not walking.** **This week’s theme is getting around**—the cities choreography and human drama of boarding, riding, waiting, parking, squeezing through, loading up, breaking down, **and all the hardware required.** **We're after wheels of all kinds—transportation, the hardware and hard feelings of this urban experience:** buses, minibuses, bikes, scooters, motorcycles, cars, and everything that comes with them—the queues, doors, climbing in or out hands on rails, bumpers, parking lots, curbside chaos, the beauty and the gore of daily transportation scene. Wheelchairs count. A kid on a dad’s shoulder counts too. *** #### **What To Look For:** #### **Bus Life** * Double-deckers and minibuses pulling in, idling for the exits and queue, lurching away like a small boat in a big wave. * Minibuses. Say no more—they're go-carts driven by crazy men. Go ride one and document it. * People waiting in a queue, entertained in unison with their phones, watching for the route number * Boarding + exiting: stepping up, tapping cards, squeezing past, jumping off late * Faces in windows, reflections, pressed hands on glass * The stop itself: shelters, signage, curb paint, the crowd forming and dissolving #### **Two Wheels + Engines** * Bikes and scooters in motion or locked up in clusters * Motorcycles: riding, filtering traffic, revving at lights * Parked motorcycles: tight rows, covers, helmets, scratched tanks, chrome + grime #### **Cars + The Infrastructure Around Them** * Parking behavior: double-parks, tight squeezes, loading zones, hazards on * Bumpers and bodywork: dents, tape fixes, scraped paint, polished shine * People with cars: leaning, cleaning, unloading, waiting, waving someone in, or more likely, looking too smug. #### **Also In Scope (Any transport besides walking)** * Delivery vehicles, cargo bikes, sidewalk carts being towed/pushed as part of a transport moment * Wheelchairs navigating ramps/curbs, getting on/off transit, moving through crowds *** ### **Moments to Hunt** * The choreography: doors open → line compresses → bodies flow → doors close * Transfers: the hurried decision, the glance, the sprint, the missed connection * Crowd physics: who yields, who blocks, who slips through * Sound made visible: vibration, exhaust heat, motion blur, rain spray, headlight glare * Beauty + gore: ishiny scooter next to a wrecked bumper; order and mess in the same frame *** ### **How to Shoot It** * Try from the inside: again, minibuses! * Use shutter speed deliberately: freeze the step, blur the rush, streak the lights * Work the edges: hands on poles, feet at the threshold, ticket taps, mirrors, bumpers * Look for layers: reflections in windows, faces behind glass, overlapping vehicles *** ### **Meet-Up Details** * **Start: 3:00 PM** * Location: Jordan Station, Exit A, street level * Jordan (TWL) Exit A puts you immediately on Nathan Rd and Jordan Roads, good for bus stops, minibuses passing/pausing, queues, boarding/alighting, and it’s a clean launch point to walk west to Canton Road or northwest to Austin Rd for parking, scooters and motorcycles. * * **Debrief: 4:30 PM** at: MOBIN * Located in: [Eaton](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=4f709db2114f009d&cs=1&output=search&q=Eaton+HK&ludocid=3663969110848279377&lsig=AB86z5VzaFZpaOTxe4Bj2CTndz2L&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjTg_6T2cyTAxUhJNAFHXe5MqcQ8G0oAHoECBQQAQ) Hotel * 380 Nathan Rd, Jordan, Hong Kong *** ### **After the Walk** * Post 5–10 images. * Aim for a mix of: * Waiting / boarding / riding * Parked / jammed / damaged / polished * Wide scenes + tight details The goal: photograph how the city moves because of transportation — and what it does to people (and what people do to it). Catch the line. Catch the door. Catch the moment it all moves.

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, April 22 at Streetlight Guild. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. **SCHEDULE:** 6:45ish - Quick introductions 7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour 8:00 - The End **OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. **BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild! **WHAT SHOULD I BRING?** Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you! **OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:** * **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space! * **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels. * **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay! * **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!
