The invisible

Colorful lives behind each of these homogeneous, deceptively-lifeless windows?

Exploring the same idea but wonder if just doing it to a window makes my msg more powerful? (these are hotel windows btw)

Duh. of course someone has to do it...

So these are the final images i decided to put in my city image presentation... dabbled a bit more with photoshop and changed the colors of the windows! but actually job not very well-done, cos i dun really know how to control that function properly so even the building in the first pic has tinges. but nmind, this is not art class =P for the third one, i guess it was just really coincidental that i saw this Latino-looking guy cleaning the sign... and i personally feel it's something we tend to overlook even though we know it's there. (but that's also prob cos they do it either early in morning or in evening? dunno. thought it was quite lucky i captured this at like 10am in morning) i set out thinking of taking pics of fire escape ladders, some of which can be really pretty... but looking at building after building i forget many of them are actually apartments, hotels, with ppl living in them, housing very different folks all in one building... till in one window i saw like this man sitting by the balcony... was i reminded of this fact. for many of them, there's nothing hinting that ppl live in them...well, till i came to Chinatown and found ppl hanging clothes on the fire escape ladders! and thus my very amateurish dabbling with photoshop to create the above images. not sure if my msg got across... guess i'll find out tmr..
