TITLE: "As Life Goes By"

This is a rundown and old part of Hong Kong, often neglected but still retaining its own hustle and bustle. It was a gloomy, chilly rainy day. I chose a long dark aisle watching and shooting by-passers from all walks of life rushing through inside my viewfinders. Life goes by even under an incessant rain. No drama, no poses, no pretense, but instead the place was infused with urban energy.
