1989 Christine Hanrahan

Hong Kong

Another old photo, not quite as old as the Mexican ones. For someone who loathes crowds and congestion (me!), this is not the place to be. However, it was an experience and I am glad I spent a short time there. This image was digitized from a slide using a Nikon Coolpix camera.

Nikon Coolpix 995
1/3s f/3.4 at 15.1mm iso189 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

This captures the congestion so well. People, cars and signage! V.

I was there in both 1996 and 1998, and that first impression of the noise and humidity will be an everlasting memory!
It shows the city very well.

A very effective photo. Great work from 89.

How could I not vote for this one, Christine. 1989 .... I was fresh, full of ambitions, fooling around and worked in a TV station as a Duty Director. Great year for me and a great capture with all these compact commercial signs from u. They are much less of these signs nowadays here in HK.
Beautiful contrast and tones. Big Vote !

Wow! That is some signage! Well shot!

Conveys "crowded" so well, claustrophobically so: houses, cars, signs.

This is fascinating and wonderful in film. V.

Great shot. Very effective in b&w with this focal length. "V"

Very nice capture of many reasons not to live in a large metropolitan area. Great B&W photo, however. Vote.

Very easy to find your way!
Carol Rollins15-Dec-2015 13:37
Wow, that must be one of the busiest places on earth!

Probably looks similar now except the signs might be all electronic...

A place to visit but not to live in eh... v

Great street shot showing perfectly the very crowded conditions of Hong Kong. I bet some of it still looks the same today (well, it did when I was last there). V.

I was here also in 1989 and just loved the atmonsphere there. Not to live for a long time though.v

Love the congestion of the signs and of the traffic in this shot. Having a car
there is more of a burden than a convenience. V

A very nice street scene! I'll bet it looks nothing like this today!
Carl H. Johnson15-Dec-2015 02:48
Hmmmm it's something about that sign in the middle that is intriguing to me!!!~V~
Hank Vander Velde15-Dec-2015 02:39
Terrific shot of all the congestion Christine. Glad I don't live there.
Glenn Dean (Vatorman)15-Dec-2015 02:16
Great scene Christine - perfectly done on B&W. V

amazing scene...the gridlock extends up above the street with the barrage of signs...talk about a well-filled frame...V
