'The photography book features over 80 black-and-white and colour portrait photographs of urbanites by Almond Chu. To name a few, portraits in the collection include renowned film directors Ang Lee and Johnnie To, artists Zhang Xiaogang and Yue Minjun, architects Gary Chang and Rocco Yim, photographers Rong Rong and Inri, writers Ping-kwan Leung and Tan Xue, conductor Perry So, dancer Su Shu and designer Alan Chan who actively participated in Hong Kong’s cultural circles during the period of 1990s and 2000s. Chu searches the simplicity in photography and captures the timelessness and eternity of the figures through portraiture.' (from publisher's website)
