平成22年歲末北國之秋,遊走在綴綴鮮豔火紅與金黃的步道中.竹林聽雨,楓林晚飄香,大有「霜葉紅于二月花」的詩意. 我和嘉敏徐徐上路,於長滿青苔的石坂階梯上,復印出古平安京的步履...

鮮やかな赤や金の茂みの間の歩道の上を歩いて平成22年京都の秋。 竹林の雨の音を聞くと夜の楓の香りで、上記ものとして詩的な、"雪の紅葉、2月の花よりも強力な赤色を持っています。" 私と妻は、苔むした石段上にゆっくりと歩いた、平安京の時代の足跡を繰り返しました。 [Background music: OST from JIN-仁 by 髙見優 ]

Istanbul is perhaps a city where I most wanted to go under my passion towards history. From the Byzantine to the Ottoman Empire, civilizations learn how to live among differences between the east and west, between races, religions and languages. Wisdom was accumulated through countless bitterness like one tastes from Turkish coffee. In the trip across Anatolia, I journey through the history of the middle east...[Background music: Ce He Mise Le Ulaingt? (The Two Trees) , by Loreena McKennitt]

The second time to Seoul was 9 years after my first visit. There wasn’t much change: similar lifestyles in the city’s bustling shopping area, crowded wet markets, riot police, and demonstrations…lots of demonstrations. Korean never lacks the momentum for innovation and to out win their neighbors. Yet in the midst of prosperity, the city cuddles under a fear and a hope of long lasting peace.[Background music: 책갈피 | Reminisence - INST, by 하정호]

George and I spent the relexing weekend in the middle of some hardworking weeks in Cape Town. As we reached the Cape Point, the end of the world, we've found ourselves embraced by the two oceans meeting in front of the cliff; we were welcomed by the strong sea breeze, like standing in the midst of a taiphoon on a sunny day. Was that a sign to rest and stop, or perhaps to return home? Or was that just marking another milestone in life? [Background music: 夕暮れ（Instrumental）, by 安全地帯]

The moisture in the ancient streets of London -- an old tea stain in the rim of china antique. There's so much history to taste. As an anonymous bystander of others life, I lingered on many stone paved alleys and crossroads, I wondered what will be coming next at the far end of the journey.

This is a second visit to Siem Reap, Cambodia after 7 years. There are always something new to explore among this ancient jungle of civilization ruins. People can easily find escape from the modern world with each piece of unique handcrafted stone. I use this place, however, to build up unique memories with my fiancee and my dear friend. [Background music: Angkor Wat Theme II, by Michael Galasso, from movie "In the mood for love"]

There wasn't much to remember in my trip to Switzerland.
. . . except the romantic hours with Carman on the rainly streets of Zurich
. . . except the train rides, with endless laugher and chat with Kieron my lonely friend
. . . except the snowy mountains and fresh air which can't be substituted by the chocolate one can take home with
. . . other then these precious things, I could have been to anywhere.

06年4月,因工事在上海呆上了短短三天.跟舊同事吃飯打諢,發現這紫碎金迷的城市表層下,生活著許多迷失了的一群,在物質的糜爛中忘記了自己的名字.而支持著這燦爛都市的最下層,卻是默默附出血汗卻得不到最基本保障的勞動人口.令人驚愕的是,這種極端的貧富差異,在沒有宗教的麻醉或封建系統本命論的薰陶下,居然可以維持著.我坐上耗資300多億元的磁浮列車,離開繁華的上海,不禁暗自抽了一口涼氣... [background music: The Black Pearl]

那十天裡,都在車上聽著司機播鄧麗君的歌.當我想起這次旅行,腦際迴響著的,並不是當地的藏歌,而是那在海拔4000米聽到的"千言萬語". [Background song: 千言萬語 by 鄧麗君]

2005年8月中旬,跟Phyllis跑到了暴風中的台灣中部.天氣壞極了,心中納悶,期望中拍攝藍天白雲,今趟是泡湯了.只好改變心態,當是散散心的走一走山上的步道,居然也發現不少有趣事物.於是我一次又一次的拿出相機去記錄.美好的東西,再差的天氣,也是阻止不了的,攝影也是...

It's about the courage of man, to move on to where could not be reached, and to conquer what shall never be conquered. [Background music: from The Blue Notebooks, by Max Richter]

2004 Christmas, I was accompannied by my best friend, Kieron, to begin an expedition in Hanoi, northern Vietnam. We observed, we captured life through our cameras. Life goes on nomatter how harsh life once was, I believe in no miracle but in the undeterred spirit of human kind.  At least, I saw the proof there in Vietnam.

Year 2001, a journey to the Holy Land with my Canon G1 digital camera. It was not until April 2005 that I selectively rescued some photos out of my dusty CD backup pile.  In between these years, some places in these photos had already gone through troubles of various kinds, mostly caused by imperfection of human beings -- may there be peace on this holy earth.
