2025 Ricoh Street Photography | Hong Kong Island, An Urban Encounter Through Negative Film

I once again traveled through Hong Kong Island with my Ricoh, this time opting for negative film. Students in Republican-era uniforms streamed out of the school gates, their sleeves fluttering, a glimpse of time slipping through the air. Red and green taxis plied the streets like the blood of a city, carrying countless stories in all directions. On the escalators of shopping malls, suited office workers weaved in and out, creating a dynamic landscape of the modern city. Perhaps this is the meaning of photography, not to record the world as it actually is, but to preserve its reflection in our hearts.

Wandering through OCT Creative Park with my Ricoh camera on a weekend, I stumbled upon a feast of summer scenes. Stories hidden in street corners began to emerge. Street photography is essentially aimless wandering, and the Ricoh GR taught me to coexist with uncertainty. It's not greedy, doesn't try to capture the whole world, but quietly frames a moment with its gentle touch. Perhaps what we've always needed is not a broader view, but a deeper gaze.

Explore Hong Kong's Central District with Fujifilm X half 2025

Holding the latest Fujifilm half-frame camera, the X half, with a 32mm equivalent focal length, I captured the texture of the cobblestones on the cobblestone street, the texture of the red brick walls of Tai Kwun, and the arc of the Star Ferry cutting through Victoria Harbour, all within the narrative of the 3:4 frame.
