busy Chinatown street during Chinese New Year in Hong Kong, with people moving through the crowd

Before the chaos This photo was capture during the chinese new year period in 2020 Chinatown just before the weight of covid 19 actually settled into our lives. Gatherings were still happening, everyone was still out and about leading their usual lives. Although at that time everything felt slightly uncertain, it was still intact. Every time i look back at this photo, i am glad that i captured it because it reminds me of “that day”, or “that period”. It reminds the value being present and how we often don’t realise we are living in the before until everything changes and we remember it as “that day”.
