"nice restaurant"

It's lighting and signage are as eye-catching as ever... Is its food "nice"? Not bad.

I have always been drawn to small local stores and restaurants; and it's particularly delightful that some of them in my neighbourhood are doing fine under the attack of the financial tsunami... This series begins here: http://hugopoon.aminus3.com/image/2009-05-15.html

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...
