China: The Past Is A Foreign Country

 Christian Als

The subjects of the last two posts involving Asian Americans were both made and found on the same day. Getting both ready to post, I stumbled upon 100 Eyes' current online issue featuring modern day China through the eyes of quite a few photographers- some truly excellent stuff there!

The portrait and the note from the previous posts were found in North Beach and by the piers, respectively. I've been lucky to find a few things to photograph here in SF (often just walking or biking to and from work), as opposed to say, hometown NYC. If you're not the quintessential street photographer (which I most definitely am not), you're somewhat at a loss in NY. I rather enjoy living in a place that's still urban, quirky- and has the occasional horizon line. Do miss the pizza and bagels though...

Maybe that would be a good premise for a book or show, photographs taken to and from (during?) work, or just grabbed when you weren't purposely out photographing. Running title: At Random.
