Lost & Found Hong Kong - 香港

A Travel Guide for the Connoisseur

Edited by Janet McKelpin

Photographs by Hank Leung, Albert Wen, Blair Dunton, Elizabeth Briel, Li Sui Pong

Each person experiences a city differently. In Lost & Found Hong Kong, readers discover one of the world’s most exciting cities through the photographs of five unique residents. Wander the streets with Blair Dunton, as she reveals Hong Kong’s storied society; with Elizabeth Briel, as she shares her fascination with the sea and forgotten spaces; with Hank Leung, as he juxtaposes everyday people with monuments to the gods of commerce; with Li Sui Pong, as he explores how Hong Kong echoes nature; and with Albert Wen, as he captures a city always on the go. With vibrant, original photographs that range from detailed still life to active panorama, Lost & Found Hong Kong invites readers to get lost in the spirit of Hong Kong.

我們特地邀請了五位以香港為家的居民,來向我們描述他們選擇定居這裡的理由,和我們分享他們對香港的感覺。在展示他們生活的同時,也允許我們跟隨他們的腳步,徘徊於他們每天走過的街道,遇見我們以往不可能有機會碰上的人,流連於他們經常駐足的地方,停下來觀察只有當地居民才會知曉的微妙事物。他們使我們為香港人的生活著迷、困惑,讓我們跟著他們的日常生活節奏,去體驗這個都市的心情和速度,追隨他們更深入地去探究他們的香港生活,稍微嘗試從當地居民的獨特角度,來認識這個城市。
