Street Photography from 1950’s and 60’s Hong Kong

By Moss & Fog1 min read

Take a visual journey to 1950’s and 1960’s Hong Kong, through the lens of master photographer Fan Ho. The smiling faces of boys, the simple street scenes, and the light filtering down through buildings, these black and white images tell deep stories, especially when you compare it with today’s modern metropolis.

History matters, and we’re lucky to have series of beautiful photos like these by Fan Ho. Via MyModernMet:
