Shortcut
I used to walk through this alley all the time, it's near my old house in Gu Bu Jie. This is another shot from the XIN NIAN HAO - 24 HOURS IN LIUZHOU photo shoot. It was taken just after sunrise on Chinese New Year's Eve. I remember thinking as I entered the alley that it was the quietest I'd ever heard it in China.
A lot of folks have been wondering where I've been and why I haven't been around... I think the best explanation can be found here on my blog. It's too much to leave in this space!

I simply cannot put into words how I feel about this image.
It's fantastic in every sense...
Looks so cinematic. Almost straight out of a Wong Kar Wai Movie.
Gorgeous work here. Instant fave for me.

nice one mate : ) Frankly I'm speechless after reading your blog entry - All I can say is "it'll get better........but I,m sure you have heard that more than a few times - I have watched your photography and skills develop over time it would be pointless to stop now
This image sums it up - A man alone walking down an interesting but empty street - BRAVO MATE
