Are you ready for a journey down memory lane? From November 2 to 18, Blue Lotus Gallery is hosting a pop-up exhibition in event space Usagi of some of photographer Keith Macgregor's best shots of Hong Kong in the 1970s and '80s. The show, titled The Way We Were, harks back to a time when rickshaws were still pulled along neon-lit streets and fleets of traditional sailing junks floated on the harbour. Before the exhibition opens, we share some of Macgregor's most striking shots in the gallery below:
