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@: What beautiful and wonderfully warm words you've left k@! I've been reading them over and over again and I'm still doing it! My heartfelt thanks!:-) You know me so well my friend. I'll seldom do a planned shooting and this sunset series is no exception. I happened to be there and just couldn't resist the charm! "... the sun that disappears once always reappears." So true! Isn't a sunset a most wonderful beauty which will never be staled by repetition!!! In this series, I simply attempted to capture this simple yet amazing charm of a sunset in a simple straightforward manner! No tilting, no extraordinary angle and almost no processing except cropping and resizing!:-)
