Street Stories

Inspired by many PBasers, I've just started capturing stories found on the streets.

We see so many faces everyday but nobody seems to care about the concerns of others
because we're rushing to and from work.
Through taking street pictures, I've learnt to think about others' concerns.
It makes me talk to people I haven't met before and understand something about their own worlds.

There is one more thing I've learnt:
Treasure every second. Reality slides into the past and
you can never go back to make a lost image.
