On Cat Street, home to Hong Kong’s liveliest antique stalls, a vendor offers an unlikely variety of used items -- ranging from a golden bust of Mao to Chinese puppets and bronzes. In this incongruous environmental portrait, the subject is overwhelmed by the colorful context of her setting. And that’s the point of the picture. Dressed in black and white stripes, she is no match for the vivid colors of the things she sells. She stands amidst a cross section of Chinese objects representing an odd range of artistic, ethnic and historical statements. Cat Street is a cultural treasure house, and this woman certainly helps make it so. But one would never expect it from her. I photographed her for several minutes as she was standing to one side of her stall, assembling small cardboard boxes. She seldom looked at me. When we finally made eye contact, I made this portrait.
