TRAVEL • MAR 2016 • HONG KONG

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My first travel album on the new Olympus OMD baby, and what better place to test its capability than Hong Kong's sweeping urbanscape of over 7mil-strong population. Things have not terribly changed as compared to my earlier trip four years ago, but my focus has. This round is mostly about the charming public housing estates made famous by instagram. My only wish is that I had the luxury of time to comb each and every one of them and squeeze all the photography opportunity dry, but that may require that I be based there for awhile, perhaps not something that I would not entertain.

 

Shot entirely on the Olympus OM-D EM-10 Mark II.

First made famous by its feature in the Transformers movie, this unassuming apartment block in Quarry Bay
meets all the requirements for a Hong Kong's urban jungle theme.

Happy to have spent some quality time at one of the highest rated pins in my list of urban heritage sites in HK. Lai Tak Tsuen's
hollow circular structure and various peculiar configurations leave quite abit of room for some creative reimagination of this 40yo marvel.
