Photo: Reality
I was looking for a more upbeat photo that captured a bit of that Spring Festival snap, crackle and pop. But when I saw this photo it grabbed my attention and reminded me of the excesses of the season (which this year has been pretty much a month-long Western-Chinese celebration hybrid). The Nanning-based photographer, Sun …Read More

Photo: The Shooting Stance
A lot of photos I choose to feature here are serious, gritty or artsy — felt it was about time for a humorous one. Taken at Suzhou’s famously-designed-by-IM-Pei museum, it looks like this guy is putting some Tai Qi lessons to practical use. Check out Jun Ballena’s photostream for a whack of beautifully vibrant photography.Read More

Photo: Autumn in Beijing
It’s uncommon to see a photo from Beijing that isn’t covered in a layer of smog. This cleverly cropped capture from relatively new photographer Alex@China makes me long to wander down 银æ大é“, kicking leaves as I went. My imagination is likewise cropped.Read More

Photo: Morning Exercises
This photo reminded me of a video blog I did back a few years ago. An intriguing shot. Explains Eric Hevesy, the photographer, “This photo was taken with a telephoto lens looking out of my teaching dormitory at my university in Dalian.

Photo: Marketing with Teeth
I found this shot equal parts interesting and disturbing. The teeth are displayed in the storefront of a small dentist in Lianzhou, Guangdong, for what I can only assume is to illustrate how many successful teeth pullings the dentist has undertaken. The black and white treatment and lack of context gives the photo an eerie …Read More
