Here is another recently scanned photo from the original negative-what a difference in quality to the old,faded photos I scanned on my printer a while back-this one is sharp and crisp, looking like it was just taken yesterday. Seeing how early in the evening it was, I must have taken this one, and then walked a short way down Lockhart to the San Francisco to have a drink (or two). By the time I came out of there, it was getting dark, and I took the last photo on the roll looking back down the street from in front of the SF (that would be the damaged photo I just posted) <Read more ...>

Here is another of the photos I took in Wanchai in July 1972. Being 19, this was where I spent almost all the time I was in HK. If I have my directions correct, I'm standing in front of the 'Mini Club' at Lockhart and Luard, and looking down Lockhart towards Fenwick. If I am right, I would be standing in front of the present (2009) "Club Venus"-if I did my 'walking tour' of Google Streetview right.

  At any rate, in 1972, I went in every bar in that photo. <Read more ...>

I spent a week in Hong Kong in July of 1972. Being only 19, this is the area I gravitated to right away-I probably went into every place in the photos. I've spent the whole evening "walking" around this place via Google,and it's pretty much unrecognizable, but I see the same exact "Tattoo" sign at about 77 Lockhart Road,except that it is now 'Rickeys',instead of 'Pinky Yan'. If I am oriented correctly,in this photo I think I am standing at the corner of Lockhart and Luard, looking down Lockhart, with the Harbor on my right. <Read more ...>
