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.
