To Market With My Capture

Lip Seng

A closed season for fishing is implemented from 1 June to 1 August for all fishing gears except gillnet, line-fishing and cage capture. Along the Guan Hai Chang Lang (Seashore Long Corridor Park), Shantou, China, every morning, a dozen small fishing boats frequently dock at the side of the coast. The fishermen brought their cage capture and sold them to the market or at the site. As seen here, one of the fishermen is hurrying over the pedestrian bridge to the market. The touch of the morning light brightens the image that I captured.

Morning Stroll

A revisit to Shantou, China (third visit within three years), recently gave me an opportunity of witnessing the local people enjoyed their morning session. Just slightly over 6:00 am, there were already a number of early birds having their morning exercise. Guan Hai Chang Lang (Seashore Long Corridor Park) 观海长廊 along Haipin Road. Shantou, definitely is the right place for enjoying my morning session of photography.

Traditional Olive Seller

Lip Seng


A very traditional olive seller strolls along the busy pedestrian mall of Guangzhou, China. The seller usually dresses up in the traditional attire and by playing the suona horn (唢呐) to attract buyers. To me, it is a traditional culture of Cantonese that is hard to come by in the modern world. When I captured this image, the lighting condition was rather poor. I have simplified the back drop with the black and white treatment in order to create good contrast for this colourful image.
