When I was last in Hong Kong visiting my daughter we took a public ferry that just operates on Public Holidays and at the weekends from Sai Kung Pier to Yim Tin Tsai a deserted island, which is now a tourist attraction. I plan to write about the island for my next Travel Tales post.
Our fellow passengers I think make interesting subjects for Faces On Friday. If I was a writer I think they would be a good starting point for a story!
Update March 18th 2014 I have now published my post entitled Yim Tin Tsai - Abandoned Island - Hong Kong
just a little different from our city train observations :) .....
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool ferry. Loved seeing all the people. Nice cozy quarters.
ReplyDeleteHong Kong must have been fascination as well! Love these casual group shots of the ferry travelers.
ReplyDeleteI love people watching, especially those who are not holding phones. The island looks a great place to visit, I'll look forward to the post.
ReplyDeleteGreat start for a writer I would say , I love watching people ,, I do most on the tube, but I read as well then have a quick look up and down the carriage :-)
ReplyDeleteAn interesting perspective Linda :-)
ReplyDeletei like to people watch and this would really give me lots to watch
ReplyDeleteGood captures of busy vacationing people. :)
ReplyDeleteI do so love people shots, Linda. :-) These are some great ones. :-)
ReplyDeleteI want to do more candid photography this year - but its not happening yet!!
ReplyDeleteNice picture.

Great picture and a great idea. Using their faces for a story? You should try it!
ReplyDeleteNice idea, yes but not one that I will try Barb. :)
DeleteWhat a brilliant idea for a story (you should have a go, if even in photo assigning and not in words). And how fun that the ferry is there for the weekends!! What fun to sneak a photo or two. I' m too sensitive about other's privacy. I just can't take a shot without asking. Maybe that's an okay thing?
ReplyDeleteMel it is a nice idea, but not for me. What is photo assigning? I try to be very discreet when I take photos from a distance and if I am close up I do always ask permission. People are usually delighted and love to see the photo on the camera afterwards.
DeleteThe young tourists on the ferry boat make an interesting composition. I'm looking forward to the description of the island you were going to visit.
ReplyDeleteI fun! expect to see the desert island!
ReplyDeleteThey are an interesting group.... I too make up stories about people (in my head) when I'm in crowds. But I can't seem to take a decent picture of a human being...whether family friend or stranger. I wish I could.
ReplyDeleteit is always fascinating to "people watch". The hard part is to take pics without them knowing. I tried this a bit in SIngapore last year. I know a photographer who did this for several months on the underground railway and made a whole photo story about it. I am sure your subjects would make an interesting start to a story Linda.
