【On the Stage】 《Christina Wan's 50th Anniversary in Performing Art》 In celebrating the 50th anniversary in the professional performing art in Cantonese Opera, Ms Christina Wan, a prominent celebrity from Hong Kong, together with three other renowned artists, viz. WJ Ho, Candy Wai and Johnson Yuen flied from Hong Kong to Toronto to perform a Cantonese opera show at Markham Theatre on July 6, 2014 at 6:30pm.
Being a musician on stage, I have captured the precious moment how the renowned artists, local performers together with stage crew and volunteers collaborated to accomplish the show on stage. In between the performing opera, I made use of the moment to capture what I saw and how I felt. Though the composition and angles of the photos were restricted due to my sitting position, these photos have reflected my view and feeling of the traditional performing art on stage.

【 舞台上下】  《尹飛燕從藝五十年》 香港名伶尹飛燕從藝五十年，與三位著名粵劇演員何華棧、衞駿輝及阮德鏘専程從香港飛抵多倫多，於2014年7月6日晚上6時30分假萬錦劇院作慈善滙演。作為台上的樂師，我有機會拍攝到粵劇名伶、本地演員、台上工作人員的努力和合作，完成台上的演出。在戯與戲劇之間的時間，我拍下舞台上我見到的和感覺的時刻。雖然拍攝構圖和角度受到我坐著位置的限制，這輯照片卻能反映我對台上傳統演藝的看法和感覺。
