My First Participation of Toronto Photo Walk Sept 15, 2012 Led by Ryan

Strolled Along Toronto Yonge Street

I like to walk a distance of a few subway stations at Yonge Street and carry a small camera, Sony T10.   Sony T10 digital camera (bought in 2006) has 3x optical steady shoot zoom (38mm-to-114mm-equivalent, f/3.5-to-f/4.3 Carl Zeiss lens) 7.2 mega pixel ccd sensor.  Though this camera is kind of outdated, but it still takes good quality picture.  Along Yonge Street, there are many interesting and beautiful scenes for picture taking. Carrying a small digital camera gives me the convenience of portability and opportunity to catch this moment of interest.  Every time using a camera, I think of George Eastman how he and Kodak made picture taking so simple, especially the digital camera.  Imagine, if  George Eastman and his Kodak company (Click here for Kodak's History) has never invented the digital camera or the portable film camera/film, we may not able to look back to see the past recorded by so many pictures, photography and movies. It is a pity to see Kodak winding down.

Interesting Hong Kong and Macau Photography Pictures Taken by Photographers

John Sison  recently went to Hong Kong and Macau.  He took some interesting photography pictures of Macau and Hong Kong.

For typical daily live and city photography pictures of Macau, see Randomwire's pictures, which has part 1,  part 2, part 3 and part 4.

Macau is the first European settlement area governed by Portugal in 16 century until 1999.  I was born there. The pictures brings out a lot of emotional memory.  Nowdays Macau main business is casinos.  Hong Kong were governed by England from 1842 to 1997.  Hong Kong is one of the major financial center of the world and has one of the largest buillion market. Hong Kong is my second home town where I had worked  many years in the financial sector, weaving industry, garment industry and export and import. The major language of Macau and Hong Kong is Cantonese which is one of the oldest language of China. Most of the people in Hong Kong and Macau can speak English.
