A couple of rooftopers enjoying the moment at sunset.......... with their friend taking a photo of them.
It is so intriguing how a different crop can change the feeling of a photograph...
From my point of view, the scene didn't seem staged just for the photo. Simply a bunch of friends exploring a rooftop and one of them capturing an authentic moment of joy.

Taking photos of birds in the city is fairly new to me. I started doing it seriously a year and a half ago while working on my photo series about bamboo scaffolfer. I would, from time to time, spot the trees flying between the buildings while looking up for men working on scaffoldings. The more I witnessed these birds, the more I noticed how graceful they were. It created the urge in me to take photos of them and share them so that everyone could appreciate how fascinating these creatures are.

I still have a vivid memory of the first time I witnessed a scaffolder building a Fei Paang (飛棚 meaning ‘flying shed’). I was searching for trees growing wildly on buildings in the old area of Tsuen Wan when I instead encountered a figure standing out high in the air. In perfect balance, one foot rested on a small metal support while he held a long bamboo pole with a single hand. This image left a profound impression on me, sparking a desire to learn more about these men defying heights in their daily work.
