Professional photography is sort of like owning a restaurant....I guess, I dont really know what it is like to own a restaurant but I do have a wife that cant stand to eat the same thing twice a year so I guess what I mean is you always have to be reinventing what you do, adding new dishes to the menu, and as I start to do such additions to expand the work that we do here I find myself more and more interested in different types of photography that I had not really considered in the past.

For instance I was never really interested in macro work until a client needed some super up close detail photos. I was never really interested in taking panoramic beyond the odd hand held snap across the horizon on vacation, until a client asked for super wide perspective images.

So as a certain United Nations representative with dual PhD's once told me, its necessary to reinvent oneself as you go along to get stuff done.

I guess this is a good start, though a far cry short of dual PhD's....or the UN......

I'm rather a bit in depressed of the statement in Hong Kong, everything was politicalized. Unlike the place the China mainland has its essence still and rather keep their remain culture and the family-based socialization matter pretty well. I don't know why, if Hong Kong has to unanchored (起錨), only achieved is more personal matters surrounding the city than the organized support.

As I said, life in Hong Kong, is really going a bit more tense day by day, how could I enjoy my life through the continuing trots and steps (馬照跑, 舞照跳)?

But when I go through the gallery of yours, I had realized something I was forbidden partially. And that is the vision. We do not seen what they seen, so we don't feel the other people's as well. To put it mildly, like an old-model camera like a decade ago, it could not take a good picture for viewer, the vision and meaning were varied on it. However, best quality picture made from the decent and smart camera, could making a vision not only for what the cameraman needs, but to also put life and feeling on it too.

It's a pity of what I was trapped my life in Hong Kong too long, and didn't have such vision of yours to identify different cultures not even in China, but the Universe. All I can do is hoping one day, I could exactly seeing the exotic place around the world, to both fixing my misunderstanding thought, and most importantly, to respect different cultures.

有志者事竟成. Keep it up! :)
