"vacant shops, a gallery and a lonely night."
Here's the Larger view.
Peel Street, Sheung Wan, 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...
@Gérard Beullac: Thanks for such incredibly beautiful words!:-)
@Ronnie 2¢: Couldn't have expressed any better... not saying it's not peaceful yet a strange air of "unbelonging" was striking me!
@Ian Smith: Thanks Ian! We were here before and you took this shot: "Makumba" but it was bright and colourful then! Best regards to you and yours!
@k@: Thanks for taking the time to leave your warm words... I'm touched! Hope you'll enjoy this "mess" too: "déjà vu"
