Lourens Samuel - Hong Kong Standstill

As a flight attendant and full time photography student I end up with tons of photos but very little free time. Unfortunately it happens that sometimes I don't even check what I have been photographing. Being locked up now finally allows me to start scanning, selecting, editing and hopefully find some treasures in the piles of negatives I've never scanned. The first thing I started editing was my last trip to Hong Kong about a month ago. By this time life in Hong Kong had pretty much come to a stand still because of the Corona Virus. Hong Kong was badly affected by the SARS epidemic so they quickly took drastic measures after the arrival of the Corona virus. Not knowing the same situation was about to come our way I was shocked by the surreal state this city was in.
