Black & White Photo Challenge - Perspective

I intended to shoot this old building. This old man walked so slow that I took a shot at him while I was waiting for him to move off. Was it a perspective with one vanishing point?

Chinese New Year, Many Years Ago

This picture was taken many years ago on a Chinese New Year day when we were going to visit our relatives. Our car park was very crowded especially during public holiday. The picture shows 2 of my younger brothers and me were pushing away a car, so that my mini car could come out from the parking lot. My late mother was standing next to my car. Time fly...

Long ago...

Illustration Friday - Sea

When I was a small boy, I was hoping my parents buy me this set of toy - a gun ship. I wanted to join the navy when I grow up. They did not buy me the gun ship and I did not join the navy, I spent half of my life in the air force instead. I am still keeping the advertisement of this toy.
