My favorites are those crisp and sharp images with the moving element in it. You always manage to frame them so well. It's also obvious you put a lot of work in them, probably waiting until the moving elements come into the frame exactly like yiou want it, and then press the shutter. It makes me appreciate all the effort you put into it.

The sandbox children are always building,destroying and altering.A pile of rubble bulldozed by frustration.Because it was in the way.And must yield for the whim of progress.A new road.A new direction.While at least for this afternoon, in a cleared corner,a spire pricks up from the roving earth.As an indignant finger testing today's weather.As its foundation quakes in the tremors of arguement.Its windows wary of passersbys caught spinning in their own confused thoughts.
you made me think, Kal. and what you said is fantastic. I see now a fascinating parallelism between growing urbanism on the right, and growing spiritualism on the left...
Yep, this is true. I have red somewhere that the church in China is experiencing an enormous growth...
Oh, i love your pictures, Kal. You can always interpret them in so many different ways... bravo !
The trade off between spirituality and progress? You see it everywhere in China, and especially in Shanghai. The interesting fact is that there is a huge Christian faith building here. I don’t understand it, but maybe all this building and progress is starting to challenge the foundations of people’s faith in society, and is making them turn to the spiritual. I don’t know, but I do know that community is breaking apart, and maybe on the right side of this image is the cause, and on the left the consequence. China right now is somewhere in between. Thank you Alem, for you usual insight in to my pictures, because how uncommon the church is in China is part of the message…I believe they will become more common.

Ah, this is intelligent, ironic and journalistic.
On the right works in progress, on the left a church (which I guess in China is quite rare..)... A human in between....
A kind of still life portrait, very very well done, Kal... bravo. This gets my vote. A hymn to life between thousand paradoxes and contraddictions.
