"tram jam"

Neither a spectacular scene nor a creative picture, but this night mood of the tram road is always a charm to me especially after a long hard day...

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 just love your night shots. They have such a mood to them, of seeing into a private world amidst the hustle of urban life. And the colors and lights always seem to be illuminating scenes just for us.

Love that narrow passageway and so much going on in between ! The perspective in that light is real great and the presence of the worker too - late worker, harsh life, great human story you always succeed to capt.

I love the depth in this one helped along by the perspective lines of the tram track!

The way the light and colour is glinting on the metal rails is great!

I love this shot as any other street shot you posted before . These scenes are something you think nothing special but for me and anyone else who will never visit these place is always very special.
You captured perfectly the night atmosphere of this street !

A great colorful shot of the street. Mariana has a good point. To many of us, these commonplace scenes are not that common. Anyway hugo, keep shooting and posting. I love these scenes.
