China - near Guilin (Old Man)
This was shot in a small village on Li River near Guilin (Gweilin) in the Guangxi province in Southern China. Guilin is widely considered to be one of the most picturesque places in China, and I agree completely - the area is highly recommended to anyone interested in travel photography, or just to see the stunning scenery...This elderly gentleman was relaxing in a doorway, and I was struck by the contrast between his weathered looks and the colorful laundry. I motioned at my camera, he chuckled a bit in agreement and I took some shots. This is one of my all-time favorite photographs, and at the same time one of the first "real" photos I've taken.
