Sham Shui Po

Sham Shui Po

Grace

You are just beautiful.

Amber rain

I left my umbrella home, so all I could do was to snap some images and waited till the rain stopped.

Mongkok

Every image is a fragment of my memory, I don't think it needs to have a clear story. An open ended image is what I want to achieve more in the future.

Tsim Sha Tsui

An old woman who told me the story about this 20 years old bicycle

I was doing my street photography and felt this bicycle had a story. I started to take some images of it and then a nice old lady came and told me the story behind it. She was such a kind hearted person and I asked her permission to take some images of her and the bicycle together.

My feeling - Osaka, Kyoto, Nara. 35mm.

During the trip, I learned to slow down and used the viewfinder to the enjoy the moments. The quality of the images were not important, the most important matter was to use my heart to capture that feelings.

It was such a pleasure to be with you, my love. When we are together, you just fill my weaknesses with your love.

Brothers

They are brothers,  one is shy and one is confident.

Color- Osaka, Kyoto, Nara 彩色的片段—大板，京都，奈良

I always feel Black and White give me a timeless and emotional feelings, but some images only become life with colours.

Passing by

Inside the Train

I found out my street photography is getting tight, all the shots looks kind static and dead. To response I try to use a compact camera X100T and get loose, hope it works.

Once my roommate, now is a father of two

We used to be roommate, now Janus is a father of two children. Couple weeks ago, he and his family came back from Canada for a visit, I had a chance to visit his family and I took some shots of his children and his children were just so cute and adorable!

All shot by Leica M240 with Viogtlander 50 F/1.5 ASPH

The city that never sleep

I can tell because I have been working non-stop for 7days in a row.

Ricoh GR

 Thank you Roy for lent me his GR for a run.

Red

I usually don't shoot at super low light condition, but I saw a red ball alongside with the flowers, which created a interesting colour relationship between the two very different subjects, caught my attention.

Stairs

Back alley

Cats

This is the first time I spot a story other than human, which is a great start to me because street photography suppose to be wider than just shooting human.

Who's there?

The summicron ASPH is such an amazing lens, I will have a write up about it soon.

Admiralty

I will never tempted to shoot Street Photography with wide open anymore. The scene was pretty good just ruined by the paper thin depth of field. I do think this image still holds the story well that's the reason why I keep it, but all of you should believe it will become a better shot if I choose F/2.8 to make the both mother and son to be in focus.

Yau Mar Tai

The contrast on 2 scenes attracted me to take the shot.

The Old Gambler

He is sitting near the Jockey club and waiting to bet for the next race. That's the culture in Hong Kong and many Hong Kongers spend the whole day like him.

I'm such a jerk

I'm such a jerk, I saw the emotion, took the shot and go. I should at least ask him "Are you ok?" and try to help out if possible. That's what I need to do in the future.

One of the main reason I take photo on the street is to show the emotions of our city in deeper level. In some cases, "show" is not enough, we need to act to help our society.

My own way

Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f1.5 M Aspherical Review

It takes almost 6 months to get my 50mm lens for my M240. Since the Leica 50mm Summilux ASPH was out my budget, and I need want a fast lens,  my choices were downed to Zeiss 50 Sonnar T F/1.5 and Voigtlander Nokton 50mm F/1.5 ASPH. I like the Sonnar, but it suffers from the well known focus shift Issue, so that my final choice is the Voigtlander.

Waiting for the Ring

When the light and mood is there, I just can't ignore it and press the shutter.
