OC - Oh See! - Cnr Nathan Road and Public Square St / Hong Kong (Tue 03 Jul 2012)

OC - Oh See! - Cnr Nathan Road and Public Square St / Hong Kong (Tue 03 Jul 2012)

Bright shafts of light randomly flooded the canyon like streets of Hong Kong.

I almost instinctively responded to this by trying to capture the passing traffic (cars, trucks, bikes and people) as they emerged out of the shadows.

An Alex Webb (*) book - The Suffering of Light (*) - I recently bought from Amazon at Eric Kim's (*) suggestion (*) certainly helped me to see this way for the first time.

Alex on opportunity in photography:
“Luck – or perhaps serendipity – plays a big role… But you never know what is going to happen. And what is most exciting is when the utterly unexpected happens, and you manage to be there at the right place at the right time – and push the shutter at the right moment. Most of the time it doesn’t work out that way. This kind of photography is 99.9% about failure."
