Incongruity is everywhere in Beijing. The juxtaposition of young and old, modern and tradition are fascinating to watch. In someplace, you cannot tell if you were in Sydney or Beijing, someplace, it is quintessential China. In this group of shots: young lady with iPhone, old man chatting by the lake, and street barber – did you see L’Oreal?
I love your whole collection of faces from Beijing! You know it feels for me like a slideshow of all the brightest moments which I usually have in my head after a trip in foreign country! It seems that thanks to you I had a little journey to China where I dreamed to travel, by the way! Thanks for that, Yao!
I remember being in China before 2000 and looking at the difference between then and now is remarkable. There is a lot of new and modern next to old and tradition and your photos capture this so well. It looks like you're having a good time too.
What a great feel for life in China. YOu are so great at taking the candid shots which I find so hard when I travel in another country as a visitor. The collage gives a quick feel of life now in China. I love the clarity of the shots, especially the man in the left corner.
