Nathan Road is the main thoroughfare
in Kowloon, Hong Kong.
Running in a south-north direction from Tsim
Sha Tsui to Mong
Kok district, Nathan Road is lined with landmark buildings such
as Peninsula Hotel, Chungking Mansions, Kowloon Park, Islamic Centre,
Tung Ying Building connecting the locale districts.
Known to local visitors and tourists as a must-go local fare, its amalgamation
of shops, restaurants, advertising billboards, shop signages, and transportation
exchanges points, with its continuous flow of traffic and people, forms
an energetic street scene. Nathan Road, as hustle & bustle as it
is, stages an on-going changing scene that one can¡¦t resist revisiting
occasionally before a new shop, a new advertising billboard or even a
new building replacing the present.
In 2005, Kenneth spent hours waiting for the lowest traffic moments, capturing every other building blocks and shop fronts on Nathan Road, and have produced this photographic book which he later made entries into Epson Color Imaging Contest and won the champion prize in Photograph Category (the Hong Kong judge panel), and a Honorable Mention with the judge panel in Japan.
The book Nathan Road adopts a semi-detached photographic approach and presents the vista on both sides of Nathan Road in an accordion format.
