Chungking Mansions:
I started shooting with a holga but am carrying my digital camera as well. Today walked on every floor from one of the stairwells (block C). In the back there are people that sleep in the ally (on sofas and cardboard). The back has a lot of people selling hash or whatever else you want.
At this point I'm just walking, thinking and deciding to how to go about this project. I want to keep it simple and just find an interesting person that is a good representation of the people that live here. Nothing extreme for the main part of the story but I do want to photograph and record some of the extremities: drug dealers, prostitutes, etc...
The people on the first floor are incredibly helpful... just hanging out there I'm approached and talked to. Today I talked with someone from Pakistan and a Nepalese drug dealer who was born in Hong Kong (his dad was a British soldier.
