攝影師余偉建與我們分享他任職美聯社亞太地區攝影記者期間，在香港首個大型徙置公屋邨石硤尾遷清重建前進行的攝影紀錄項目。其中第41座美荷樓得以保留改建為青年旅舍及生活館。
余屢獲攝影殊榮，其作品涵蓋新聞和紀錄片類型。反映他對香港不斷變化的城市景觀及生活環境的獨特敏銳觸覺。余是第一位獲得「世界新聞攝影比賽」三甲獎項的香港攝影師。他曾任香港攝影記者協會主席及香港國際攝影節創會成員。
Photographer Vincent Yu will share with us why he initiated doing this photography research project on SKM Mei Ho House (now turned HK Youth Hostel) while he was a full-time photojournalist with Associated Press, covering major news events across the Asia-Pacific region since the mid-1980s.
Yu is an award-winning photographer whose works cover both the journalistic and documentary genre. His unique sensitivity towards the territory's ever-changing cityscape and living environment are often reflected through his images. He is the first Hong Kong photographer to have been recognised by World Press Photo and his works are being collected by the Hong Kong Heritage Museum. He was the Chairman of the Hong Kong Press Photographers Association, and a founding member of the Hong Kong International Photo Festival. From 2010- 2012, he also operated The Upper Station Photo Gallery in Hong Kong.

MCCM Creations，香港出版社，2001年成立，出版範疇包括視覺文化、建築、設計、藝術、詩 歌及繪本。出版社相信書的製作不止於文字和圖像，它是一個整合想像、意念、情感、經驗和 工藝的創造過程；每本書更是作者、編輯和平面設計師的結緣。 跨體裁、雙語/多種語言是 MCCM 出版物的特色，正如出版社身處的城市香港一樣，繁雜而多元。MCCM 的作者有部分是土生土長的香港人，也有在香港生活了二、三十年的「老外」，他們 在自己的專業領域和生活中累積經驗與知識，無形地支撐着城市文化的滋長，讀者往往可以 從他們的書中找到各種閱讀城市的獨特視野和方法。
Since entering the world of book publishing in 2001, MCCM Creations’ aspirations have remained consistent to bring readers original and inspiring books from authors and designers who share a passion for books as objects, as well as a strong desire for exploring hybrid concepts. Our titles are about the visualization of experiences, stories and perceptions through the printed word, images and sound. We live in an age where people move freely across boundaries and inhabit areas of virtual space that intertwine to create new concepts and ways of living. These cross-disciplinary realities are at the core of MCCM fusing illustration, visual art, design, architecture, photography, socio-cultural criticism and literature. MCCM titles have a strong cultural slant that falls into two broad categories: i) visual culture books related to architecture, art, and design in Hong Kong and neighbouring regions; and ii) illustrated fiction and picture books for children and young adults with the aim of nurturing intellectual and aesthetic development beyond the regular school syllabus. A majority of our titles are published in English or in bilingual (Chinese-English) editions.
