By opening Ronald Cheng's Weibo account (http://t.sina.com.cn/ronaldcheng), you would see that almost all the posts are photos taken by himself. We already knew that Ronald Cheng is a "die-hard" photography enthusiast. However, yesterday a netizen revealed: "Turns out Tinyeyes, the legendary figure on Flickr in Hong Kong, is actually Ronald Cheng!!!!" Ronald Cheng also openly admitted that he is Tinyeyes on Flickr.
As described by netizen Huarun, Ronald Cheng was once of "legendary" status on Flickr.
"Tinyeyes was one of the best Leica photographers on Flickr back in the day, as renowned as Tommy Oshima from Japan, and they also shared similar styles. Both were among the most skilled photographers using the Leica Noct 50/1.0 on Flickr. Around early 2009, tinyeyes suddenly left Flickr and deleted all his photos. During the filming of 'The True Story of Old Hong Kong' by Zhao Liangjun, tinyeyes released several behind-the-scenes stills taken with a Leica M8, and at that time, we thought he was the stills photographer. It turns out he was the lead actor, and ironically, he played the role of the worst one."
