Southorn Playground, Wanchai, Hong Kong

"Southorn Playground was a major landmark to senior residents of Wanchai. Back in the 1950-60s, it was a place of both work and entertainment... Nowadays, Southorn Playground remains popular among Wanchai dwellers: senior citizens kill time by playing Chinese chess there, while young people regard it as one of their favorite spots for football and basketball."

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...
