I had no plan and did no research on shooting Hong Kong. The trip was occasioned by an invitation for a job interview and I expected to simply wander the streets for a couple of days apart from attending the interview itself. The only bit of planning was to look for a photography museum (an account of my visit to which is reported here) and a suitable hotel.
On two previous visits to the city I stayed in Kowloon and so wanted this time to stay somewhere different. I didn’t really want to stay on the island, as my impression from previous visits is that it is highly developed and in many regards similar to other large, over-developed cities. I was looking for something more Chinese, something a little grungier and middle to working class. I found it in the area around Ya Ma Tei.
