Packed with images and color from all over the territory, this book is a rich reminder of the visual tapestry of Hong Kong. Everything from bird cages to junks is here. Panoramic vistas of temples and New Territories villages nestle side by side with cameos of children by the wishing tree and old ladies gossiping in the wet-market. Lorette's extraordinary versatility stretches from intimate studies of ordinary life to the silliness of the South Stand at the Rugby 70's. Here, you will find your favorite Hong Kong memories interspersed with hidden gems you have yet to discover. From the magnificent to the miniature, Lorette has a diverse, complex and sometimes light-hearted perspective which turns the mundane into the magical.
