"the party is over..."

Posted by hugo poon (hong kong, Hong Kong) on 28 December 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

... it's time to clean up, and the work of this young cleaning worker is really impressive... On the night of Christmas 2008.

Lan Kwai Fong, Central, Hong Kong

PS. Lan Kwai Fong is a popular expatriate haunt in Hong Kong for drinking and entertainments especially during this holiday season. A glimpse of the place on the same night: http://www.pbase.com/hpicckcy/image/107488884

I do not regard myself as a photographer. I'm an ordinary man but extraordinarily obsessed with capturing all the memorable scenes that I encounter in my everyday life. It's like an excited traveller craving to record his memorable journey in a memorable way, 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...

Your title says it well - and well captured. All good things come to an end.
