No Germs


22  Jan . 2012 - Photographer Ton Koene is in Hong Kong, and I hope he does not mind that I took one of his pictures for my blog. I used to work Ton in MSF, and I admire how has been able to carve out a successful career as a photographer for himself. His book with pictures from Afghanistan is a "must have". It is also very interesting to see how Ton portrays Hong Kong. From his pictures and comments (eg. on Facebook) he seems fascinated by the 'City of Buzz", but he also captures the somewhat awkward and "clean" side of Hong Kong very well. He already posted some beautiful pictures of the concrete jungle and of some of Hog Kong's most eccentric creatures , but I also love this picture, as it so well captures the paranoia for ... well... practically everything 'unclean'. Thanks Ton Koene - and please visit his website www.tonkoene.nl for more eye candy.
