"the swank"

Posted by hugo poon (hong kong, Hong Kong) on 25 September 2009 in Documentary & Street and Portfolio.

Just a fun snap of the familiar tram stop...:-)

Tram Stop, Queensway, Hong Kong

Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR 1/15 second F/3.3 ISO 400 7 mm

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...

Love the red and how you have used the advertisement as part of the scene. It's really fascinating how posters and billboards have become such a huge part of our urban landscape. Well seen and captured!
