Que Sera Sera

“Will we have rainbows, day after day?” [...] “Que sera sera, whatever will be, will be”

 

I thought of those lyrics when looking through my finished photographs and stopping at this one. A lot of my photographs show the ‘nicer’, more tourist-facing parts of the city- of course, as an anxious person, those are the areas I feel safest. This shot was taken from the second floor of a somewhat uninviting car park, looking out over the awnings of a small shopping street in Quarry Bay. The smell of the rubbish and grime was palpable and as I looked over the small area, a great melancholy came over me- looking into the small, grubby windows and imagining a life surrounded by all the muck.

I know, I know. Hong Kong, again! I’m not wealthy- I just keep spending all my money on going there. I don’t think they say ‘Fourth Times the Charm’ but this trip was just that - a success. For almost the entire time I kept my mental health issues at bay. It was a good trip. After three disasters - It is really nice to say that.
