somber days










I got my second dSLR - the Fuji S5 Pro, but it was delivered to me just a few days before the sudden passing away of my father, and I didn't have any chance to photograph him with it ...
When compared with my first dSLR (the Nikon D80), it's a heavy equipment; yet it's nothing when compared with the leaden heart of mine. It was my dream to shoot with a Fuji dSLR, but the moment I got it, I didnt know what to do with it... I eventually managed to pick it up, and had been using it to take as many photos of my family as I could, as if I were losing memory of their faces ...

I somehow took these shots on the way to visit my father's house.

a unique street slide show - lee tung street






... a unique street slide show and a vanishing street. This is probably one of my most memorable series of street photos. First, I came by these scenes all by accident; second, even more important, "there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again" – the entire street is scheduled to be demolished and redeveloped in the near future...

『外物不可必,世事總無常,過去只可回憶,將來只能期望,兩者皆虛幻。只有當下是真實,唯有目前是存在。當下目前才是實在,人生之落腳著力處。緬懷過去企望未來,不如活好現在。』

My salute to the professional artists / photographers who have been creating all such wonderful images! All I have to do is to carry a camera all the time and see them...
