Photographs of old Hong Kong and the tales they tell
I've chosen a selection of photos from my collection to tell these stories. Most of the photos were taken in the early years of the twentieth century, and show a Hong Kong that has long since disappeared. They have been scanned at high-resolution and digitally restored, so we can zoom in to see their hidden details.
The photos and stories are grouped around four themes:
- A walk around early 20th-century Central
- Queen's Road from West to East
- A young girl's daily journey from home on the Peak to school in Kowloon
- Scenes of construction and destruction
I'll be happy to answer any questions after the talk.
