shelley street I

When the rain stopped...

Shelley Street, Mid-level, Hong Kong

PS. Running along it is the Central-Mid-Levels Escalators (completed in the mid 90's), the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world according to the Guinness World Records... Not only has this new "transport" brought tremendous convenience to people having to climb up and down between Central and Mid-levels, it has also caused dramatic changes to the shops and lifesyle along these original traditional and quiet streets.

I do not regard myself as a photographer. I'm merely a guy who enjoys capturing all the memorable scenes that I encounter in my everyday life. Perhaps, it's like a traveller hoping to record his memorable journey, but in my case, it's the journey of my life ... If I can record my encounters in such a way that they leave an image on the mind of myself and other viewers, it's a tremendous joy and some accomplishment...
In terms of photography, I'm trying to preserve the moments as my eyes see "something" and my heart feels it too. As such, I seldom feel interested in planned, arranged or manipulated photographs...
