I love all his shots.. a very HCB stylised feel with what others may deem wimpsical composition or even careless but look closely again, the composition is leading the viewers' eyes to where he want them to look :) I think he shoots with film and a PnS or RF. Nothing sophisticated but his shots... wow!
Enjoy it!

Ron,
My site has its own inbuilt tracker...nothing special but it's interesting to see every now and then for details of who has visited...
Thanks again for your comments, these photos are little experiments which I hope to build on in the future...the body of work is still very weak to me and will need some time...and more life experience...it's funny you mentioned HCB, because I don't actually like his work ethos very much (all this stuff about working only in black and white and not cropping the shot in post-process)....but his influence goes well beyond that I'm sure.
I quite like Gary Winogrand's work and Daido Moriyama a lot actually, for entirely different reasons...

Thanks for the reference. Will look up their works again for references and ideas :)
Experimentations are good and thru it, it builds. Your style, not many people can shoot what you shot that artistically. Take it as a compliment from me. Do keep up the good work. Drawing inspirations from you too!
