hong kong basketball courts

Over the course of 140 shooting days, I photographed all 2,549 outdoor basketball courts in Hong Kong. This is documented in my upcoming book and solo exhibition Shooting Hoops. I am in the process of building out an online gallery worthy of displaying the best of over 40,000 pictures I took of these courts, but in the meantime here are some highlights as well as various organized collections.

This is all 2,549 courts.
