3A Sharp St W, Causeway Bay

Digital cameras had already taken over as the preferred tool for underwater photography by the time I began my explorations. Yet, I have chosen to dive into the erratic Hong Kong waters with a 1984-made 35mm underwater camera: without rapid shooting, autofocus, or instant image previews, I have only 36 chances to try to get something in range amidst the cloudiness. As soon as I am in the water, enclosed by the sea, I let the currents carry me. The silver grains respond to the minute particles, depth, temperature, and tidal changes, while the sea becomes a filter that draws me closer to everything around me.
