Description A stranger walks through the streets of an old town, the sounds and smells of a simpler life all around, large dark eyes peek past a door, a childs curious gaze, and in a moment its gone, but its a moment frozen in time.

A person like me sticks out in China, especially in a small town like Gong Tan, an ancient town more then 1700 years old where traditions and a way of life handed down for more then 50 generations. The town, in august, will be yet another town to be drowned under water. The worlds largest dam will claim yet another village, another home, another way of life. The populous will then be relocated to a newly build town and they will start anew. For these people, mostly farmers and the elderly, life will be difficult. This boy will have to learn to live a more complicated life dominated by technology, politics, and progressive ideals.

Wow... I just can't find words to say how I love your gallery !
All your work is amazing... Your models, who aren't typical models, just like this little boy, show emotions that only you can easily find and put it on photos.
I MUST watch you.
Keep it up and take care of yourself !

Tragic situation, one that is going to occur throughout China for years to come. Regardless, excellent capture.

the world's largest dam sucks now, that i see it from this point of view...i've only seen it on tv documentaries...and it looked pretty interesting...but now i realise....it's really a big stupid project....that's just not worth being accomplished...i wish something could be done....

Great portrait. The kid's expression is priceless.
I think there's too much out of focus on the right. This picture would be perfect in square format, removing 85% from the right and 15% from the left. I just tried in PS and it looks much better.
