River DanceEveryone on the left rushes to the right, and everyone on the right rushes to the left. This “river dance” repeats every three minutes. One thing you'll notice immediately in Hong Kong is that people rush about everywhere. The proud example of Milton Friedman's free market, people here waste no time on nonproductive activities. This was taken in Central Hong Kong, a great place to soak in that big-city vibe. And for architecture enthusiasts, there are a few well-known buildings in Central, including HSBC’s building, designed by Norman Foster, and Bank of China’s tower, designed by I. M. Pei. Meet Your Guide: My name is Brian Yen and I am a Your Shot photographer. My father taught me how to take pictures with his old Canon Rangefinder. I was 12 and I was hooked. After college, I took a break from photography to concentrate on being a Silicon Valley entrepreneur. Over 10 years ago, I moved to Hong Kong. At the same time, my midlife crisis nudged me back to my old love of photography. Follow Brian’s work on Your Shot and Flickr.
