Under the wheel of time, the face of Hong Kong is silently but conspicuously changing. Modern high-rises are replacing traditional architecture, and rural farmlands and fishing ponds are transforming into concrete jungles.
In view of the transformation, I experience conflicting emotions. On the one hand, I understand the necessity of urban development keeping pace with the times, but on the other hand, I can’t help but feel a sense of regret for the disappearance of old heritage and places we had.
In recent years, I have started systematically capturing the various aspects of different districts through my lens, including natural and cultural landscapes. Although I started relatively late, it’s better than standing still.
Unbeknownst to me, my footsteps have already covered all the major regions of Hong Kong. I have amassed thousands of photos, encompassing iconic architecture, vintage signs and street signs, fading shops, countryside scenery, and the wonders of the sun, moon, and stars.
Through a fortunate turn of events, I have been given the opportunity to publish my photography collection. With careful selection and layout design by the editors, these photos can be shared with readers from a broader spectrum and serve as a memento of the past for the future.
在時代巨輪下，香港的面貌正處於有聲無聲的變遷中，舊式建築被新型高樓取代，郊區農地魚塘亦化成石屎森林。
面對這種變化，心情甚爲矛盾，一方面理解都市發展必須與時並進，另一方面卻對舊事舊物的消逝感到惋惜。
近年開始較有系統地用鏡頭記錄各區面貌，包括自然與人文景觀。雖起步略遲，但總比原地踏步好。
不知不覺下，原來足跡已遍及全港各主要區域，相片數量過萬，包羅地標式建築、舊式招牌路牌、幾近式微的店舖、郊野山水、日月星辰……
在機緣巧合下，得到一個出版攝影集的機會，在編輯的精心篩選與版面設計下，相片能夠以另一形式與讀者分享，亦可作爲日後懷緬過去的寄托。
