A quiet stroll at the village beach.
Some are going for a paddle.
Not crowded at all.
Quiet morning.
Quiet chat.

Overthinking?
This is an image that makes visual sense.
It’s nice and neat and there’s symmetry in the two pairs, and one more on the right corner. The centre is anchored by the signboard.
This one is odd.
You can’t see the subject. But that makes it interesting, I think…
Cheung Chau – Busy and Tranquil Scenes
Just for contrast here.
There’re busy scenes.
People are at work.
You could find quiet moments as well.
Sharing time together.
Alone together.
Or simply by yourself.
You could frame and reframe a moment.
Until you disappear and everything is just right.
Silvermine Beach, Mui Wo, Lantau Island
Just a few images on the theme of peace.
We all want this.
Though sometimes we imprison ourselves with all that glitter.
We need to go back to basics.
That feeling of an evening stroll.
A clearing of our mind.
Peace.
On Being Careless
To be interested in street photography is to be careless.
The above might look better if the boats were cut out of the photograph. The subject would be clearer.
But the eyes don’t always discriminate properly.
Found scenes are things as they are.
Boats and paths as they are.
A child as he is.
There’s an accommodation of sorts.
An ordering of nature.

On Sense and Sensibility
What, really, is there to talk about when it comes to street photography?
In the end, we’re capturing our selves.
And the constraints that shape us.
Street photography is another way of thinking.
Another way of looking.
Sometimes the scene seems a bit bare.
Until one encounters a human figure.
The art is long and life so short.
In the meantime, my exhibition is still on-going – come by if you’re in the area.

Rural Views
I’m here again and again.
It doesn’t look like much – but it has wonderful views.
The environment is a work of art.
The mood is always leisurely.
The debris is zen.
There’s artless beauty here.
I’m happy to be marooned here.

Night Vision
A vision of the night.
There’s usually nothing to see.
Still, we try.
It’s a time for reflection.
We try to think.
We sit.
And rest.

Slow Down
We’ll need to slow down.
We can’t think like skyscrapers.
We need to dwell a little bit.
Take a walk.
Sometimes to be inane is to make sense.
A certain order at a certain time.
Think good thoughts.
Let a thousand thoughts flourish.
So we need a better government of our selves.
So as not to run aground.

Searching Waiting Thinking
It’s that existential condition, of always searching, waiting and thinking.
We can only have images of ourselves.
The glimmer is often only a few steps away.
Thanks for stopping by today.
