As a visual storyteller, I am always on the look out for interesting street art wherever I am, whether it be along the streets of Hong Kong where I live, or in places that I visit on my travels. One of my many street art photographs found a home in a bumper special edition, “Murals”, published by wonderfully eclectic and thoughtfully edited The Hooghly Review, a digital non-profit and free-access magazine of literature and arts, curated by fellow writer and visual storyteller François Bereaud. What a wonderful Christmas present to awaken to this year! The icing on the cake was having my photograph paired with an evocative poem by jewellery designer, poetess and all-round good egg Shikha S. Lamba (whom I have the honour of calling my dear friend). You can find our submissions as well as the work of many other talented creatives at this link – free to read!
