Hong Kong - The City of Light

A neon exploration of Hong Kong for my first post here and an entry to @photocontests Friday #streetphotography contest

To me, Hong Kong is the epitome of a city caught between identities. Colonial buildings are squeezed between giant, glass skyscrapers. Brand new Teslas park outside hawker restaurants that haven't changed their menus (or recipes) for decades.
The hyper-futuristic neon lights - once you get close - are actually decayed and rusted from age.

I recently spent 10-nights there capturing the night lights, and I'm so glad I did. Many of these signs are actually in the process of being dismantled as they've become unsafe, so the next time you're in this beautiful city, many of the signs you see in these images may no longer exist.
