镜头下真实的香港印象,
一座延续着传统的现代城市
Hong Kong is a place that explodes with opposites; one side of this city is full of the smells, odors and soft curves of old Hong Kong. The neon signs, pornographic posters, dim sum dives and night markets remind the casual visitor that, no matter where the rest of Hong Kong goes, this part of Hong Kong will lumber on as it always has. The other side of Hong Kong is crisp, clean, hard geometry that tells of commercialization, finance and modernism--the push to keep this city relevant in the world. I took a four-day trip to Hong Kong to see just how much I could tease out the geometry of both places: the mosaic and organic versus the optimistic and the commercial. Inevitably, I found myself wandering through streets, taking shots down hallways and narrow alleys, trying to capture how spatially awkward this city is.
