“Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save” Will Rogers (American entertainer, 1879-1935)This shot was taken in the new Star Ferry Central pier and everyone seemed to be in a hurry to unboard.
This is again a copycat photo…the original was posted in March 2006 and I’ve always wanted to do a similar one in HK…it wouldn’t be the same without the quote so I copied the commentary as well. To see the inspiring original click here.

With the incline of the gangway, I think that your photo has more frantic energy that the inspiring original. I think the composition within the fore and middleground is great. I think that the treatment of the background great! Combined, I think that this picture is a great picture and I love it! Lisi, this picture is you: it is not a copycat! It may be in the same genre, but your photograph stands as itself.

LOL And by the way, he’s only just about 10 (on the 21st) but I think he’s gonna be tall like his brothers…so instead of being a Gramma I’ll be a SHRIMP! LOL!

Very, very well done!
December 3rd, 2006, at 5:29 pm #Hi all, thanks so much for the encouragement. No doubt Bob has been my inspiration, there are angles and compositions that I would never have thought of but I learnt from his photos. I’m glad you like this photo and I encourage you to browse Bob’s dormant blog if you’re into photography :-)…Sunday night here, have a good week ahead everybody!
