What makes a photo worth taking? Obviously, extreme tourist Aretha sees everything as a photo opportunity, but snaps end up piling onto a photo album and loses its significance. First of all, harbour/skyline/water photos are always perfect vacation backdrops so that's fully validated.
But check out that next shot of the golden cup thingy (properly known as the golden bauhinia square). For all I know, throngs of chinese visitors come and take photos in front of that thing. Yeah, I jumped on the bandwagon, but what's the difference between taking a photo and seeing a professional photo online; saying "yeah, I've been there."? Do landmarks automatically make a good travel photo? I don't think so.
How about this next blurry photo of an unassuming street corner? Honestly, I think it's a much sweeter shot of what HK means to me. Speedy, crowded, and an overall sensory overload. Focusing on a specific object? Ain't nobody got time fo dat!
Here's a dose of more photos taken from the ferry at Tsim Sha Tsui. Cause you know those are valid vacation shots.
Bonus times square bird's eye
