"I'm your prisoner..." (the victoria prison)

Posted by hugo poon (hong kong, Hong Kong) on 2 December 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

Continuing with the study of the Central Police Compound at night, I was hoping the mood of the night could add to its atmosphere... but totally unexpected was such an air of romance!

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...
