good morning melbourne!

Hello everybody, so I'm back from my vacation in Melbourne... such a wonderful city of beautiful heritage, gardens and countryside! In the coming weeks, I'll devote my spare time to review, edit, process all the pics taken during my family's enjoyable stay; and try to select my favourites to share with you...

Let me begin with this scene of the Royal Exhibition Building when the sun was just about to rise. This is one of the pics that I couldn't wait to review as soon as I got home! The Larger Version: http://www.pbase.com/hpicckcy/image/111396829

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...
