Taking a closer look at the "sign"
Landale Street, Wanchai, Hong Kong
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...
@Curly: Chess game.:-) This has (had) been one most popular "nightlife' for grassroots in traditional neighbourhood... Here's an old shot of this fascinating game! Thank you Curly!
@Arr Day: Thanks so much for the wonderful words! "You manage to show a large view and retain all the intimacy." Makes my day to read this! But your question does get me... I don't know exactly but this was where and when I started this "photography thing" - one Sunday night 2005. Since then, I have been enjoying seeing and feeling intensely the life around me and trying to capture that very moment when the various elements come together in a way that excites and pleases my mind's eye...
@k@: "flying lakes over the glasses..." Who else could be as imaginative to write such beautiful words! Thank you for 'walking' with me.:-)
