My name is Kenny Lock.
I am a proud member of the HDE family and I love taking photos.
With the capabilities of the technology today, people from all around the world are able to share photos to social media, blogs, forums and other sites to reach a global audience within just a few clicks. And for many people, sharing photos has become a huge and essential part of their lives. As a result, millions and millions of photos are uploaded to the internet every single day for various different purposes.
For me, photography is a way to express my creativity and how I feel in certain moments in my life.
A way to capture the amazing sights, buildings and sceneries or interesting objects that I have encountered.
A way to seize and celebrate the moments of joy and wonder.
A way to enable myself to relive and retell the stories behind the photos.
Japan is an extremely beautiful country.
And because of the precious career opportunity given by my company, I am able to live and enjoy the beauty of this country and that's why I am trying my best to not take that for granted and capture as many magical moments and experiences as possible.
So here is a collection of photos that I have taken in the past year of the Beautiful Japan through the Lens of My Camera.
