Photographer's Note
There is a famous poem in China,
which is said: the afterglow is so nice,
but it goes near the dust.
Now it is mid August, the autumn is coming,
fall temperatures are pleastantly cool.
walking around the Hutongs,
looking at the old buildings full in the sunset,
it is hard to say a word.
more photos of this series are at here

Hi Ming Fang!
Again the spot it was a great idea to shoot! The sun beams seem to point eagerly at it, I love the incentive! Delightful tones of the waning sun, adding a peculiarly soothing feeling to the photo.
With regards, F'

Hi Mingfang,
Another intelligent composition! I admire your style so much. And I think that your work with the hutongs is so important. In the future, people will look at your photographs and see something really special. These streets are full of character.
I love your Odyssey photographs too!

Interesting Mingfang....the thumbnail looks like a lake or a natural pool, but in reality it is an urban puddle reflecting these electrical wires. Somehow it is still kind of atractive though. Nicely spotted
Cheers

妳好茗芳,
這是什麼詩來的? 我還沒有讀過啊...
我覺得光調理的非常好而胡同的倒影十分美!
然而,沒有人的胡同很寧靜,有點似失落的城市一様,看起來有點傷感.
謝謝,
卓軒.

Yes it's hard to say a word when I feel the view you are talking about. No need to consult the details when you think something is magically beautiful, you just take it and feel it. That is my logic though, hehe.
So poetry photography tonight.
And I think your note is a poem. Not only the part of a famous poem in Chna you introduced but your note itself is a poem already. I really like it. Do you write poem sometimes?
看见胡同这样的样子,很美丽。
看见一点点的建筑物,一点感出来的是人家的生活。
这次没有包括人也看得出来人类性。

Very nice "package", Mingfang, the photo...the superb note...back to the photo again with a new knowledge. Highly successful and evocative - I only wish more people realized how good this is. Oh well...
Liove the poetry and subtle suggestion at work here.
Best,
Francis

Hi Mingfang,
Agreed with Lisan, I think you are doing a great documentary work, your photo witness the changes occurring in this area: a valuable 'temoignage'.
The 'wine' & bloody color give a dramatic effect, this area is definitely bleeding, polluted by the modifications ...
Thanks, Alain -
