Hugo Poon records his home city Hong Kong in photographs so beautiful that they inspired me to start taking my own photos. Deeply humanist in his vision, Hugo claims that he is not a photographer. Why not visit his photoblog and decide for yourself.

Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada

Wow, these really are great photos! Do they sell them alive-alive-oh?

@Damon Schreiber: I've read that the cockles from the UK are mostly exported to other European countries and I would imagine that they would be exported alive-alive-oh.

The company employing these guys is a very professional set-up called Kingfisher Seafoods Ltd and they've written to me to say they want to use the photos for a new website - my first photographic commission!
