a day | a cycle
it starts | it ends
a flexible measuring unit
both short | long
in the eyes of the beholders
The photos are taken on my last day in Sydney before I took a flight back to HK in July ... they were the things I saw at Botanical Garden, Sydney with my family who visited me before my wonderful trip in Europe
I realised there were so many photos that I have taken in the past year ... recording what I treasured as valuables in memories, still I must say, there is still a substantial amount unrefined to its best quality!

Quoting from Cartier-Bresson:
'For me the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the instant which, in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously. In order to "give a meaning" to the world, one has to feel involved in what one frames through the viewfinder. This attitude requires concentration, discipline of mind, sensitivity, and a sense of geometry. It is by economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression. To take a photograph is to hold one's breath when all faculties converge in a face of fleeing reality. It is at that moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.'

What is 'Natalie in June'?
'Natalie in June' is a site dedicated as my photo journal, putting together selections of images. My interest in capturing images began in high school when I did video recording and until I bought my first Canon A70 when I entered university, I made use of my father's Nikon film camera at times. I am now using Canon 350D to capture my images. The subject matters span through the artificial cityscape and the natural landscape. I also enjoy documenting how city changes or impacts lives.
Why did I name it 'June'? My birthday is in June and it is always significant. It also reminds me how time passes by and that I have grown to understand, observe and experience things around me. As my photos narrates what I perceive, 'June' will mean giving life to thoughts.
