"sleep well... see you in 2010!"

Posted by hugo poon (hong kong, Hong Kong) on 6 January 2010 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

But then, you're a city that never sleeps...

Wellington Street, Central, Hong Kong

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

Fujifilm FinePix S5Pro 1/60 second F/2.2 ISO 100 53 mm (35mm equiv.)

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...

The city is a female, half asleep only (female, we said ;) and she has her other eye (maybe yours) open to take care of what happen below. Cool compo and presence of the quiet buzz around through the soft & luminous colors (feminine too with that pinkish tonality*)
