"reaching for the sky..."

I do not regard myself as a photographer. I'm an ordinary man but extraordinarily obsessed with capturing all the memorable scenes that I encounter in my everyday life. It's like an excited traveller craving to record his memorable journey in a memorable way, 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...

Your photos are extraordinary, so inventive and subliminally erotic like yesterday's adn today's, and you're so sneaky about it, very genius-like

This is simply superb! The city skyline in the background mirrors the statue perfectly as they both reach for the sky.
