🟤 A Masterful... Favorite photo.
📷 by Artist: in Loc.: China 🇭🇰🇨🇳 1955 - Title: "Hong Kong 1955" - ➡️

Photography. An old black and white photo of Hong Kong harbor. A man on a tricycle with a square sales box in front of it, riding (right, front) along a long, angled road right by the water. The sea is a little restless and forms small dark waves. Next to the multi-lane road with flat cobblestones are tall 2-3 storey apartment buildings and harbor gates. A few passers-by in the distance, streetcar tracks and tall lanterns complete the tranquil scenery. Info: Fan Ho (1931- 2016) was one of the most important street photographers of the 20th century. The remarkable images he took in Hong Kong in the 1950s and 60s continue to influence and inspire photographers to this day. With a keen eye for composition and a keen sense of light and shadow, his photos are works of art in their own right. "I don't think technology is that important. It's more important to use your eyes, your mind and your heart ..." - Fan Ho -
