china--market day in xinjiang Market day in Kuqa

This photo was taken on the Friday market day in Kuqa, Xinjiang, China. The whole

town becomes a street market that day.

I went through all of the images in this particular series, and boy what a pleasant experience that is! You have such a great eye for the human story, and you are not afraid to capture it. Your images really bring out the soul of the people you photograph - your connection with them is obvious. Occasionally I will look at the "street photographs" on this site and find images taken from afar of people walking away and wonder why they bother. What you have here, and through the rest of your portfolio, is what street photography should be. I will be back often to look again at your work, as it is very inspirational and, well, fun to look at!
