Nike Boy

Kowloon, Hong Kong view map

Local youth taking a break from roller-blading to flash his signs at my camera.
I don't care what his sign means, but I like the way it echos the shape of his mouth and the Nike logo.

Shortly thereafter, he resumed his activity.

Isabel: Seeing as he's a skater, I believe his hand signals refer to the punk/rock/metal symbol, which I believe represent a devil's horns (so Linda H was in some way right, the football side apart ;)), originating from the old adage that all metallic music was Satan-worshipping. Nice photo capture though - I suppose he posed for you?

Love this! Thought it was horns - a cheer for some football team.

This is a marvelous portrait. II believe that means "I love you" (if the hand is facing you...but backwards, could it mean the opposite?) Isabel
