Being

2008.05.03




















The sun emerged for the first time in 3 weeks. I felt an impulse to go to the park. Here are local Dongguan people just....being.

Last picture. The view from my apartment.

Madoc These bubbles are so strange, yet they look so fun!
Man, your posts always impress me at the very highest point.
You have the magical gift of capturing simple -at first sight- moments in an always truly meaningful way.
Your portraits are magnificient.
#6, 8, 10 & 15 stand out to me.
...And great view!

ncshutterbug This is an amazing set, Rowan. I love all of them, and thank you for giving us a glimpse of everyday life in a culture so different from mine. I especially love #8 (such great DOF) and #10.

I'm a bit confused - I thought you lived in Australia and were visiting China?
ncshutterbug · 2008-05-03: 20:55
vollenda Amazing set! I love #8 for the dof field too. And #15 is beautiful.

sistatitoune · 2008-05-04: 20:55
gderuiter Can you please tell me about the first photo? I hesitate to guess what it depicts -- performance art? leisure activity? As I scroll down through your vivid images, I appreciate, in adition to each of the shots themselves how you have arranged them. The 2 shots of game pieces (I love how the first one focuses up close and then blurs into the background -- as with the blue characters a few shots later). The inflated animal vendor followed by the similarly seated vendor of live turtles and rabbits made me chuckle! And I just love the portraits you've captured. Is the young man holding up an egg? Such an engaging series! Thank you!
gderuiter · 2008-05-04: 21:49
Bushman great photos! #20 is in my favorites :) to be honest I could put there much more, but that's the one I like at most.
Bushman · 2008-05-05: 00:47
PhySpi Hi gderuiter,

Thanks for your nice comments. The first pic is actually just childrens leisure activities. Each of the balls has a rope attached so if they pop and sink they can get hauled back in before drowning. LOL. Go figure. I also appreciate how youve noticed the arrangement. I put alot of effort into the arrangement, as it can really affect the impact of the pictures. The man is in fact holding up a quails egg. They are sold cooked on sticks, 4 at a time.

Thanks again for your comments, more to come!

Rowan

SoundandFury05 This is one of most beautiful posts I've seen to date. The photos you've taken are like a window into this culture and are so eloquent! And your arrangements are always so perfect. It's apparent that you take the time to present your pictures in a particular way that makes each set flow smoothly together. You have a wonderful talent!
