Most of my pictures i took in central  , Like I mention before Central  have lot of culture in there it very easy can find Art Street in Central especially in SOHO . How can i found some special Street art and how can i make so meaningful in my essay . I thinking a lot about it . I think these. Street art have their meaning when they creatived because i think the artist wont just want to raise their time to creative noting meaning stuff in the art . But for me how can i make meaning to me i think when i took people with these art posing pose it really meaning to me because it show art can be very good background when u take pictures with people also it show it art not dirt .

Finally, i has been finished the shooting and editing part of my project. In the final progress, i need to input the photo to the document. so i divided all my photo to 4 categories by the location.

After i did this project, i known more about Hong Kong public housing estate. Although i had grow up in the public housing estate,  i have never know the important of those estate. Those public housing estate can project the traditional life of Hong Kong, and it may disappear after 10 years as Hong Kong government planning to redevelop them.

i had finished my shooting part of this project, and i had faced some difficulties when i shooting. As public housing estates are the important memories for Hong Kong people, so there are many people shooting when i was shooting, most of those people are the graduate, they wore the graduation gown and took the photo in their home place. so i need to wait i moment  when i shooting, it affect my time management in the project. Also, i need to be carefully when i shooting, as there are many people live in those public housing estate, i should try to avoid shoot their home because it is private place.



After my shooting part of my project, i have to turn the color of the photo to protrude the subject, so i had used photoshop to edit these photo.

This is an unconventional design in Hong Kong public housing estate, and also Lai Tak Tsuen is one and only public housing estate built by this design. 

 there are some resident like to hang up the clothes on the top floor of the building, and show the traditional  life of the public housing estate.

Choi Hung Estate

In the shooting day 2, i went to Choi Hung Estate for shooting, As Choi Hung Estate is a large size estate of public housing estate, there are 2 markets and 5 school in the estate, so i spend many time to find the location for shooting.

Choi Hung Estate also call “Rainbow Estate”, so there are colorful wall outside the building. 

Not only the wall outside the building, but also the floor of playground is colorful.

When i was shooting, i saw some resident  like to spend their time to play on the playground

Shooting Day 1 (19/11/2016)

Nam Shan Estate

Shooting day 1, i planned Nam Shan Estate to the first location of my project. However, i faced some difficulties on that day, it is not only is rainy day, but also there was many people shooting at the same time 

A part of the Nam Shan Estate are using open hallway, the open hallway could let the resident more interactive, so it is more close between resident and resident in the public housing Estate.

Also there are closed hallway in the Nam Shan Estate, it look more dilapidated inside the building.
