Admirers of your work are fascinated by your photos of Hong Kong taken in the s and s. Did you take them for fun, or was it done to document the city? I'm very sorry to say that I didn't work with any sense of purpose. As an artist, I was only looking to express myself. I did it to share my feelings with the audience. I need to be touched emotionally to come up with meaningful works.
When the work resonates with the audience, it's a satisfaction that money can't buy. My purpose is simple: I try not to waste my audience's time.
I just wait for whatever gifts God presents to me. Whether it is a homeless old man who makes me pity him, or children who are apparently having great fun and enjoying life, I follow my feelings when I decide whether it is worth pressing the shutter.
Another part of my practice is that the composition of many of my photos is actually by design. While my street shots look spontaneous, many were arranged. They mustn't look forced or unnatural. You're sometimes dubbed 'the Henri Cartier-Bresson of the East'. What have been your most important influences? That's too big a compliment for me; Cartier-Bresson was the great master of documentary photography. During the earliest stage of my career, I worked in pictorial photography.
Of the or so prizes I've received, most were for works in that genre. In the middle part of my career, I became fascinated with Cartier-Bresson's photos and — the Decisive Moment", which is absent — or less effective — in other forms of visual art.
Since then I have been working on the border between documentary photography and pictorial photography. In my new works, the scenes are from the past, but the special effects are newly added.
I'm giving the old material a new impact. A young collector has just bought a lot of my works, which are neither the award-winning ones in pictorial photography nor my signature prints. The works are — and I'm being apologetic here — photos that I had looked down on. The fact somebody bought these photos has been an inspiration: I shouldn't only be proud of my award-winning works, because there are other precious shots waiting to be rediscovered.
People's evaluation criteria change all the time, so you just never know. The lesson is, don't ever throw away your old negatives. AnnaMarie had trouble attending to what he said, wondering what Jay was really thinking and how it would feel to reach out and touch his lips.
His face was strong, not with pretty boy looks, but character lines around his eyes. She remembered the first time she'd seen him years ago in the principal's office.
Dark hair, neatly parted and combed, a clean but faded blue shirt, pressed khakis. Bringing a note to the office, he had shown his confidence even at eleven. She thought she had long ago outgrown desire. It was back again, stronger than ever and intuition told her, they could either give up and kiss or die wanting to.
