Representing Macau
1.Avoid two stereotype images
-Colony of Portugal
-Las Vegas of the East
2. Revealing…
-The physical change (eg. More and more casinos)
-The cultural features (eg. Historical buildings)
3. Contracting the real /surreal landscape of Macau

Conclusion
-Lampton:
“The trick behind the photograph is that audience is only seeing
what the photographer want you to see”

-Macau is not as good as we thought…
The recent incidents showed us the real sides of Macau
eg. Corruption (the case of Au Man Lung)
eg. Denial of entry to Legco members
eg. Sands Hotel (金沙賭場) in Macau laid off 500 after financial crisis

Question
1. Do you think the author was “honest" enough of telling us the real picture of Macau?
Is there anything we can add?
2. If you were Lampton, which places you will choose to take pictures in Hong Kong to
illustrate the reality here?
