Lost & Found Hong Kong Paperback – January 1, 2010

For anyone who has ever visited the vibrant city of Hong Kong, and tried or wanted to absorb all its sensations, this book of artful photos will help once you've returned home. I lived nearby and visited often, and these pictures by people who live(d) there show the real scenes, vivid neighborhoods, and other visial stimuli that is Hong Kong. I remember exactly when strolling through this well-produced book. It's a treat for the eye for anyone who knows this city even a little.

For a relatively small city, with a stunningly good transit system, Hong Kong is still confusing to me because of its density. Layers upon layers of buildings, streets that intersect in unexpected places, over two hundred islands within spitting distance, and always an enticing corner that beckons me away from my beaten track--these things guarantee that Hong Kong is a place I will never know like the back of either hand. And that's exactly why I love it.It's the act of discovery that's implicit in wandering this city that makes it irresistible, and that makes me miss it when I'm gone from it for too long. But fortunately, other people who are talented photographers feel the same way and have captured "their" Hong Kong in images that take me to their own personal part of the city without jet lag or time commitments.Lost and Found Hong Kong shows the city's flair and fashion, its traditional underpinnings. its noir side, the brilliant colors found on a nearby island and upclose and personal views that are seen only by someone who has always lived there. It's a love letter to one of the world's great cities, for those who live there, visit, or dream of going someday.

This is a great book of photos of Hong Kong. It captures the different areas and personality of this cool city. A great coffee table book or gift for photographers, travelers, you name it!

Wer jemals in Hong Kong war, wird dieses Buch lieben. Kein gewöhnliches Buch sondern eine Wiedergabe des Gefühls, was diese beeindruckende Stadt vermittelt
