Social Documentary Photography:  I think this photograph epitomises what this project has been about.  To the casual viewer it is just a number of people crossing a road, however, a camera allows you to step into communities and situations and take a look and also to step back, reflect and comment. Contemporary documentary photography is not a unified form but neither is it a defunct or endangered area of photographic practice. It is simply that its contexts, visual styles and the motivations of the photographers are various.
As this project draws to a close it has focused mainly on the life and times of people in Hong Kong over the last year, from the mundane to the opportunist photograph that reflects some of the drama, humour and the mundane of life as it unfolded in front of the camera.  Hong Kong is a unique city frenetic at times yet also some of the characters that form this project remain reflective and still.  The images isolated,  act as a mirror of my own interaction with the people and also capture a moment in time where the viewer is but an observer on a moment that has immediately passed and will never be again.
