Enduring Hong Kong:

Hand-tinted Blueprints for the children's book H is for Hong Kong (2008)

Commissioned to make pictures of "things I like about Hong Kong" for a children's book, I discovered new facets of my favorite Asian city while shooting these photos. I tinted each blueprint with watercolor to give myself a new challenge.
