Dear LKY:

Thanks for your email on Jan 25.

I created the blog in March 2009 out of fun and thereafter just put in a few posts with photos taken in Toronto and Hong Kong. I also helped my friend Tim to post his essays on 'Chinese Stones'. That was the time I started my blog. However, this had only lasted for a while and finally stopped as I began to manage my orchestra, concerts and came back to Hong Kong for performance in 2000. As I came back to Hong Kong quite often, I eventually resumed my old hobby of photography that was developed since my adolescence, the film era in photography.  The era of digital photography has come more than 10 years and made photography much easier and convenient than before. Whilst in Hong Kong, I took scenic photos of historical sites as I enjoyed reminiscing very much! 

I love traveling especially taking short or half day trips in Toronto. In the past 2 years, I have been traveling around and visiting places of attraction in Ontario to take landscape photos. I shared my photo albums and joy of photography with a few friends of similar interest in Hong Kong and Toronto.  They have been giving me comment and encouragement on my photographic initiative.   Thanks, especially Simeon, Clement, Anna, Johnny, Jeff and Derek.

Your recent email came on time to remind me of reactivating my blog again. I think it is more appropriate to make this a photoblog with reminiscence of my lives in Hong Kong, Toronto and Ontario at large. I feel that human life is like traveling in many different types of journey: careers, dreams and human relationships etc. I focus my blog more on my past, passion, events with images via the use of my camera. I believe that a good photo is better than a thousand words. Therefore I have fixed the missing photos in my blog as you wished and put in my photo albums again with annotation of my passion in each picture. I prefer to use both English and Chinese languages in my blog but this may not be necessarily a direct translation though.

Finally, I have finished redesigning my blog and made it active again on Jan 25, 2012. In the past 3 weeks, I saw many new friends and thank those who spent time on visiting my blog and in browsing my albums perhaps some may be out of their curiosity. Although my photography skill still has room for advancement, I would like to share my experience in creativity through these photos. Some of them may look raw and immature, but all these were created out of my sincerity, passions and reminiscence with joy of meeting friends all over the world.

Once again, thank you for your reminder. Your support and encouragement have made my journey continue and hope that the journal will be more substantial, informative, interesting and meaningful in the near future.

Regards,

Peter

photoblog, photo journalL K Y﹕

謝謝1月25曰的電郵。

我在2009年3月因興趣而建立這個網誌。我放了幾個帖子,都是在多倫多和香港拍攝的照片,也幫好友貼上有關壽山石的文章,祇此而已。不久便停止了,因為我在2000年開始忙於管理樂團、籌辦音樂會和返港演出事宜。這時,我開始重拾少年時代攝影的嗜好,當時正好是膠卷攝影的時代。數碼攝影的時代已有十多年,因此攝影比以前來得更容易和方便。由於我經常返港,我利用留港期間,拍了不少歷史地標的風景照,皆因我愛懷舊。

我也喜愛在多倫多作短程或半日遊。在過去兩年,我遊歷安省不少著名景點進行風景獵影。我將照片與幾位在香港和多倫多的朋友分享。他們都經常對我的攝影熱忱給予意見和鼓勵。對他們的好意,深表謝意,特別是Simeon、Clement、Anna、Johnny、Jeff 和 Derek。

你最近的電郵來得着時,提醒我要重開網誌。我覺得建立照片網誌較為恰當,這是我對香港、多倫多甚至安省生活的一種情懷。我覺得人生猶如行走在不同的旅程:如事業、理想、與人際關係等。我的網誌會集中攝影來表達我的過去、內心情懷、見聞和影像。我相信一張好照片勝過千言萬語。所以我依你意願,已把網誌失去的照片整理妥當。我也把每張照片加上説明。我的網誌會用中芵文雙語言,但這不一定是用直譯的方式來發表。

最後,我終於將網誌重新設計並於2012年1月25曰恢復啟用。在過去的三周,我見到很多新朋友。我要多謝我的網客和可能因好奇而到來瀏覽網誌的朋友。我的攝影技巧仍有待提高,但我願意分享我的攝影經驗。部份照片可能粗疏和未成熟,但這些都是出自我的誠意、情感、追懷和與世界各地朋友會晤的一種樂趣。

再次多謝你的提示。你的支持和鼓勵使我繼續我的旅程。希望我的日誌很快能更充實、富訊息、有趣味和具意義。

祝安康!
