Fan Ho: A Hong Kong Memoir

The award-winning photographer Fan Ho spent many years capturing the grit, congestion and vibrancy of mid-Twentieth Century Hong Kong. A selection of his photos have been on display at San Francisco International Airport’s Terminal 2, though apparently they’ll come down at the end of the month, so there are just a few days left to see them. Not to worry, though, as later this year, Modernbook Editions will publish the third in its Fan Ho monographs, “Fan Ho: A Hong Kong Memoir.” As you can see below, the photographs are uniformly breathtaking in how they play with light to portray the distinctly narrow verticality of the city.
