This is one of my favourite congee restaurants. I sometimes just can't meet their half-day operational opening hours. I respect all the people having all the wonderful congee inside. They know what is the best.

In Thru the Night

T4 Super D

The latest issue of Photo Graphica arrived today. The new digital photographic works of Daido Moriyama in the magazine is much better than his digital pictures I've seen before. They are in colours. Great composition. Very emotional as his black and white photos. They are not blurry or noisy as his works before. Some of them do have digital noise. But such noise can't be compared with his film noise. I don't think he intentionally uses the noise for expression. It just happened inevitably when he cropped and enlarged part of the pictures. Very interesting. Based on the pictures, I can conclude that he is still strong.

I took this picture from a bus. I'm surprised that the picture is quite sharp. I like the lights and atmosphere very much. I don't want to edit anything. It's just a raw scanned picture from my Nikon Super CoolScan 5000ED.

The Stare

T5D

My targets are quite limited to my routes between my office and my home on working days. This further affects the chance of my feelings being aroused by different subjects.

I'm not very concious to take photos during my trips back and forth. However, whenever I felt convenient, my Yashica is always in my hand. Once I found an interesting scene or a scene that somehow touched me, I just point and shoot.

I saw the old lady on my road to bus stop in the morning. She was alone. She was looking away. I had no idea what she was looking. Maybe she was pondering after fighting with her husband last night...
