EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a small boy takes a break from his mother's vegetable stall in the bustling streets of Hong Kong. The year is 1982, and the scene unfolds in the lively atmosphere of a traditional marketplace. The boy, barefoot and clad in simple clothing, sits on a low stool next to a small bunch of fresh green vegetables. In his hand, he holds an ice lolly, a delightful treat no doubt earned after a long day helping his mother at the stall. The image captures the essence of childhood innocence amidst the hustle and bustle of urban life. The boy's expression is one of contentment and enjoyment, as he savors the sweet taste of his icy treat. The photograph also highlights the vibrant colors and textures of the vegetables, adding to the overall sensory experience. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage and daily life in Hong Kong during the 1980s. The scene is quintessentially Chinese, with the vegetable stall being a common sight in markets across the region. The image is also a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Hong Kong, who continue to make a living in the crowded and competitive marketplaces. The photograph is a beautiful and timeless piece of art, capturing a moment of simple joy and connection between a mother and her child. It is a snapshot of a bygone era, yet the image remains relevant and evocative, transporting us to a different time and place. The photograph is a treasure trove of history, culture, and human emotion, making it a must-have for any collection of Asian or street photography.
