new shanghai... lujiazui skyscrapers

Enough "old Shanghai" for the time being... The weather turned sunny on the last day of my stay in the city; I decided to pay a visit to the newest business district of Shanghai - Lujiazui. What caught my eyes almost immediately were these two skyscrapers - Shanghai World Financial Center on the left and Jin Mao Tower on the right. The latter was the tallest building in China (the 5th in the world) until 2007 when it was surpassed by the former.

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...
