Hong Kong as Creative Practice – A research book that uses street photography
Here’s a book that came out a while ago.
It uses street photography as a research method to explore urban spaces in Hong Kong.
Some of the images and ideas in the book have their beginnings in this blog.

Flaneuring with Canon M50 and the vintage Meyer Optik Lydith 30mm lens.
Slightly tilted but it adds to the scene.
Look up and it all becomes aspirational.
Ode to Chinese capital.
The office worker and the jogger.
Four quarters neat – someone needs to tend to the urban disciplined greenery.
InterContinental Hotel. Tourism shrouded.
Morning walk
The scene is always slightly different
Decisive moments.

Magical moments.
Tranquility.
Focus.

The Shoot Shadow Master Speaks
Why do you take pictures of the same scenes around the village all the time, asks the wife.
Because the light is different, says the shoot shadow master.
Also because the camera is different. (It’s a Leica M3 this time.)
It’s a different film. It’s Venus 800 of a particular vintage (expired 2016).
The shoot shadow master is wise.
The clouds are luminious – the shoot shadow master looks and looks again.
The shoot shadow master finds different things to look at.
The shoot shadow master frames nature.
The shoot shadow master dreams of people.
All hail the shoot shadow master…
