... and a beautiful autumn night (Caine Road). To cross this small bridge should take no more than a minute. Yet, as I was climbing the stairs, I was attracted by the night scene; and I knew I'd be spending quite a while despite being in a hurry ...

Though I kept saying that I wasn't a big fan of digital art, when I applied the "poster edges filter" to the pic, I just didn't want to undo it ...

Pleased that I had the little Fuji with me most of the time. At least I could take some fun shots while my wife and daughter were busy at shopping in a department store ... :-)

that has made the difference, I guess. This is Centre Street, a pretty old street in HK. It's also a street I've been climbing up and down since I was a boy. However, I have always felt that it would be too busy and even messy for a decent photograph, until a recent Sunday afternoon when I was in a leisurely mood.

Strictly speaking, this is not as bad as what an inner city problem would suggest - at least I could not notice any homeless, black market, drugs and so on. However, the aging and lack of management of these old and multi-owned buildings are obviously causing environmental and hygienic problems tough to tackle ...

I do not regard myself as a photographer, not even amateur; I'm just a guy who enjoys capturing all the memorable scenes that I encounter in my life, my everyday life, with whatever photo machine I've got. Perhaps, it's like a traveller hoping to record his memorable journey, but in my case, it's the journey of my life ...
