the "big tree" and 2 ifc again...

Posted by hugo poon (hong kong, Hong Kong) on 2 January 2009 in Architecture and Portfolio.

After catching the "Countdown Fireworks" (yesterday's pic), I took a stroll in Central District...
"I don't capture that subject, that subject captures me." To me, Two IFC is exactly that kind of subject. Brilliantly illuminated, and with that "Big Christmas Tree" in the foreground, against a dark cloudless sky... How could I resist?
O.K. I would refrain myself from posting another shot of the building in the near future.:-)

All the best for 2009!!!

Statue Square, Central, Hong Kong

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...
