(Part 2) 

There’s such beauty in concrete.

Architecturally, I found the Kowloon side of Hong Kong more interesting. There’s something about the aesthetics of utility that gives these buildings more substance. There’s less of a skyline, but the structures visibly hold life and a street-level human permeability that the towering glass and paper-architecture of the Hong Kong side just can’t offer.

Photographer Brian Yen, aka briyen, captures the truly busy nature of a populated metropolis through his series of long exposure photography, revealing the dizzying paths of pedestrians and automobiles alike.

The photographer’s One Year in Hong Kong series originally intended to be a year-long project to turn into a book of sorts, but Yen has been continuously snapping shots for the last six years. The series documents the bright, cultural, and festive scenes that makes up Hong Kong; however, it’s these blurred moments of commuting that have caught our attention.

By choosing to take a step back in the bustling streets of this nonstop region, rich with life, Yen captures the endless stream of movement within several still images, each one encapsulating about five seconds of time. It’s as though you can hear a buzzing sound as everybody zips back and forth in every direction.
