Jook Joint

A photographic record of Jook joints before they get modernised. When I first saw this it was a disturbing feeling. It is a strange contrast on the one hand you get the authentic culture of hard-working folks unpretentiously socialising to the Blues, but at the same time you'd never think to take a respectable high falutin' girl to one of those becasue they seem so shabby, grotty. grimey and raw.
