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...
@k@: Hey k@, my dear friend, you may be right... you must be right! When I look back now what I did these years, I do notice one thing that keeps drawing my soul - a precious "silence" in the people and the city life I'm meeting everyday! I just wasn't conscious of that until now!:-)
