HONG KONG - In the late 1970s - City Life 1978

Next Album

The first few albums here record some of my impressions when I arrived in Hong Kong in February 1978.  The images are not great, because they were scanned from old 3R prints.  They record a Kong Kong that has largely, though not entirely, vanished.
Today, you will not see chickens roaming the pavement, large areas of hillside occupied by squatters or floating kitchens.
Hong Kong was full of character then, but this was at a cost to many people who barely scratched a living.
