China, another perspective. A look at everyday life. In every face & place there is a story.

I lived in China from 2005 to 2007. Most of my time was spent in remote areas, some rarely visited by Chinese outside of the area. Most of these images are of minority groups of which there are 56 or 57 that are considered official.

John, I don't really know what to write! This gallery takes my breath away with your truly awe-inspiring photography capturing scenes that are thought-provoking, poignant and illustrate a totally different world than our own. On the other hand, your images show how the Chinese maintain their dignity and have a great lust for life
