Photography is the
Past by Kelly Chua is licensed under a Creative Commons

This photo was taken
2 years back in Hong Kong, when I went there with my cousin. It was our first
time there, and we spent most of our time in Tsim Sha Tsui because I really
love the food and girls being girls, I think it is a shopping paradise there.
I really love this
street in Tsim Sha Tsui so I just took a photo of it. I feel that photography
allows me to capture the moment of life or rather how I feel at the moment;
just by pressing the button of the camera. To say that what we see in
photographs is gone is just stating the obvious. Looking at photograph is just
looking at the past. Once the particular moment is gone, it’s never coming
back, just like any other moments.
The fact that
something is gone makes photographs so poignant and it is what makes
photographs memories. This again, is obvious because memories concern the past.
