Hong Kong, a bustling place of business, interesting personalities, culinary wonders, eye-popping art, and colorful culture. I roamed the streets with open eyes and a much more open mind, absorbing as much as I can from a city so full of energy and inspiration.

I take my street photography to the heart of Hong Kong, Mong Kok. As a big fan of one the country's best local grown talent Wong Kar Wai, I would like to share with you scenes that hopefully shed some light on the beautiful stories of this city and its people.

I would like to pay tribute to the respective people and films that heavily inspired and still continue to inspire me: Nerve (2016) , Ghost In The Shell (Animation and film), Tron (1982 and 2010), Blade Runner (1982), Taxi Driver (1972), Timothy Mcgurr (13th Wtiness), Franco Borromeo (Pxnch), and last but definitely not the least, Wong Kar Wai and his films.

I would like to thank my best girl for being there with me on my short trip to Hong Kong. We will definitely be back for more. Soon, hopefully.
