Boy monk

Boy monk

Back in 2007 I was picked up by a Chinese photographer when hitch hiking in Northern Yunnan province. He knew when these monks were having prayers and we arrived to watch with many other locals. I took this photo as the monks were leaving the temple. I was the only foreigner there that day, maybe even that year ... This boy took a good long look at me as he walked by.

South Yunnan Slow Walk

South Yunnan Slow Walk

While eastern China rapidly develops by exporting good around the world, many areas of western China have been left behind. This town in southern Yunnan province, just before the Burma border crossing, had unreliable electricity and was missing many of the "comforts" of developed society, like indoor plumbing and refrigeration. They lived a simple life raising their crops and tending to livestock, much as they have for hundreds of years.

Camera: Canon Digital Ixus 60
