Buddhist Monk at Yungang Grottoes

Yungang Grottoes, Datong, China

Shuttle Cock // Beijing

Shuttle Cock or Jianzi is a traditional game of hacky sack in China. It is most commonly played by the retired communities. I'll admit, that coming from a culture where hacky sack is only played by rebellious youth, it was very unusual to see older Beijingers playing the game.

Dance Party at the Temple of Heaven

There was a XinJiang dance party in the Temple of Heaven Gardens, Beijing. I hope I will always be as happy as the granny (wearing a clip-on mustache) is in the bottom photograph.

Speed Graphic

This is the Speed Graphic camera that my grandfather used during his career as a commercial photographer. My cousin Sophia is writing a school report about it, and asked me to take its portrait.
Also, I now have my own new camera, a D300s, and I am no longer in China.
