Taken @ Ju lu road, shanghai
He is another familiar stranger on Julu road. I dont know where he lives, maybe on the street ? But from the gallery’s window, we could see him stay on the walking side sometimes, it seems his stuff is under his shoulders.
Is that gallery near East China Normal Univ? Close to the French Concessions. I slowly learning the area in which you take your photos. I like black and white pictures very much, it speaks in many ways the language of color can’t. I like to see the street/social commentary images. We have many homeless people here too, especially in the parks. Today is Thanksgiving many people will go to the parks , Christians to donate food to them. For them, for some will be a holiday too.
I haven’t taken black and white fotos in so long, would like to try again, your images make me want to try.
Are at the gallery to do more painting? I hope so and we can see them too

DP girl, back in Nov 21 06….
you wrtoe:
I have a dream that one day….I could open all the websites in the mainland of China.”
(You know what happened?? When I was trying to think of the comments for today, when I wanted to write down this wish… I opened the my old version of DP. That means I could log into the beta.blogger. BIG surprise!!)
This photo is about a small place for tattoo.And since I saw the film “swallowtail”, I had a dream that one day I could make such a butterfly tattoo too.
did you?….make a butterfly tatoo
….like your dreams,
Is it this movie:
An industrial section of Japan got the name of Yentown as many immigrants come to make money and hope to go home rich. A small group of people in Yentown try to work together to survive, there is a girl named Ageha who has no family, Glico the hooker, Fei Hong a poor immigrant from Shanghai, Arrow an ex boxer from the US and Ren the mysterious guy who seems to know too much about guns. Fortune shines upon them when they find a cassette that we’ll get them rich but along with money trouble will always follow.
…I had a question about the photo… you can see the top of the taxi. I was wonderful where you took the picture in the gallery, was it , a two story building and you where on the second floor?, seems like from the angle ,more so than you being on the third floor. Was the window open or closed, doesn’t look like your picture was taken through the glass. That kind of pictue is so hard for me. What lens did you use, did you switch out the lens from the body of the camera to another.
You have some really nice camera lens. You feel very close to the subject ….It’s like you could almost say , from the window, Hey !!! Mister. This kind of image shows the hard life some face each day, the black and white adds another layer to the harshness of his plight. That corner where he stopped is perfect for the story, could be anywhere…any city. I fell back a sleep after looking at your posting , was three in the morning. I don’t sleep much always have alot to do so I am always up. But I think about your pictures and what I can learn, how I can improve.
Great picture!
