Hong Kong City Guide Hong Kong might just be a small point on the world map, but this tiny land to the south of China has been deeply influenced by Western culture – in fact it was a British colony for 99 years! The Western culture has mixed with the traditional Chinese culture, making Hong Kong one of Asia’s most unique and unrivalled locations. You will be surprised by how many “leftovers” you can still find here from the old British and Chinese traditions.

ahahaaahahahahaahha. i LOVE this shot! but i know that some people just don't understand the importance of "imperfection". (the same shot without blur might would be plain boring)

Art is very subjective and can't be judge by any rules or guidelines. It is something human express themselves from inside to outside. I think they just a bunch of wannabes who follow everything on the books.

one of the best photos ever! an early masterpiece of street photography. I had an opportunity to buy a print about 20 years ago at what then was an affordable price. i passed on it because of the frown my ex-wife made and regret it every time I see it
fash_on

photochrom
