one day in my life
"whatever it is... let it go."

Tram Stop, Queensway, Hong Kong
This is another example that I don't capture an image but an image captures me...
So pleased that this photo did come out O.K. - I guess I had less than 10 seconds to pull out the camera and press the shutter before the tram started moving...
Thanks to Damon for arranging this event and I love to take this opportunity to share with this wonderful community three of my favourite b&w street photos. In photography, I'm not sure if there is right or wrong, even good or bad... but there are certainly the interesting or the boring, like or dislike; these three pics are the ones I like most - my all-time favourites. Hope you enjoy them too.
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...
