"city of night lights, keep shining!"

Wellington Street, Central, Hong Kong

One of the last shots taken during the last hour of 2009... (2/3).

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...

I like in this image the two zones of light: crowd stops where the city lights stop :)
Good series, Hugo!

This is fantastic Hugo! I like the space in the foreground and how it leads one into the crowded scene beyond. You always have such great control over the night light...impressive!

It's always gratifying to see what I strive for (in catching these fantastic night lights) actually impresses the viewer... thanks everyone for the warm encouragement!:-) Here's a closer view: http://www.pbase.com/hpicckcy/image/120796130/original
