Muscles

A man exercising at the People's Park was proud to show his strength and muscular prowess when he saw us photographing him. He continued to impress us with push ups and body tone. I tried to do him justice.

Tim and Iris also made images of this same man:

Thank you Phil & Tim. This image is not very original at all. It was very much inspired by other photographers who have done great work on photographing the human body form in B&W. It was an opportunity for me to express his body using the same techniques. I am glad it worked.

What a fine example of the power of an abstract to mean so much.

Yours is the most abstract of them all -- it says less about Shanghai's park scene, and more about the nature of man himself, in this case his living, breathing power. Your use of black and white abstracts it further.
