One Second Moments

Life in big cities moves so fast that it can be difficult to take a moment to catch your breathe. Hong Kong is no different... sometimes moving so fast that it cannot be captured in a still image. In these photos, I  focused on a stationary object and did a one second exposure.. and then watched as taxis, cars, buses, and people rushed by. The second photo (black and white version) had about 100 people on the elevated walkway... but the majority of their silhouettes disappeared as they were moving too fast to be captured in the photo.

Invisible Buses in Hong Kong

One thing everyone must do at least once while in Hong Kong is ride a double decker bus through Hong Kong Island. They're slow, don't have air conditioning, and might not be as convenient as the MTR... but it's quite an experience cruising through the metropolis as you glide by on electric tracks.

These photos were taken in Times Square at the intersection of Percival St and Hennessey Rd. It's a maddening intersection... buses rushing by, taxis, massive amounts of pedestrians, overpasses, and giant buildings. I found a railing to rest my camera on and did a few long exposure shots to try and portray the madness as best I could. Enjoy!
