back to work...

Lunch hour was just over...

D'Aguilar Street, Central, Hong Kong

A series of three; this is the second.

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...

That's what I remember, lots of people. Lots of autos too, of course. I find the the beat of the pedestrian walk signals so fascinating. When it's red, the beat is slow but when it's green, the beat really speeds up. Hurry, hurry. Great capture, Hugo.

That is one busy looking city; a million travellers inter-weaving until they reach their destination.

Super shot Hugo.

You know perfectly well how to share the over-crowded feeling, it's a very realistic shot, we feel as if we were in the pic too !

Again, you have stacked the scene well so that it really gives the feeling of compaction. Well done.

After the bus lets us see, the crow appear! I hope this is only at the hours of going to work! :)
Good document, Hugo.

This seems closer to the Hong Kong I'd have expected before being introduced to your imagery, Hugo. It has me aware of how limited my view had been.

Is it always this filled with people? What a great shot Hugo! Filled to the brim with people on their way too and from. As chaotic as it seems, there also seems to be a certain amount of order. I am fascinated by this.
