Persongalleriet #672: Thai Girl in Istanbul

11/3 2016.
Fotade den här tjejen precis i det ögonblick hon fick syn på mig. Efteråt sprack hon upp i ett leende och kom fram och pratade. Hon visade sig vara från Thailand, i Istanbul för att hälsa på en kompis. Just då gick hon runt och turistade medan kompisen jobbade. Hon tyckte helt klart att det var kul att bli fotad och berättade att hon även hade vänner i Sverige.

Ha det gott, alla!

Persongalleriet #648: Beijing, Day 16

June 29th, 2016.
Took subway line 6 to Dongsi and went on a hutong tour north of that point. Four hours of street fun followed! :-) In the evening I did another photo-walk, but I'll save those pics for future blogs.

Team Building.

Met these wonderful ladies, who ran a cat shelter. 29 cats in a small courtyard! The younger woman on the left spoke good English and asked me many questions about me and about Sweden.

Spent some time in an indoor market place I found. I always love to shoot in this kind of place!

Found an ongoing game of ping-pong. The first one I've seen on this trip. I was asked to participate, but declined. A pity I haven't kept my skills alive, I used to be a decent hobby ping-pong player.

Jump!

The Old & the New.

Bubble Girl.

Workers.

Twice Connected.

Be well, everybody!

Persongalleriet #639: Beijing, Day 6

Went back to the Temple of Heaven park. Day 6 was Sunday, and I thought there'd be more people there. Not really. Just as two days earlier, I found the light really hard to deal with. Harsh sunlight from almost straight above through leaves, creating strange patterns of shadow and light all over people's faces.
As a prelude, here are two snaps from the way there:

Arriving at the park's outdoor "gym", this guy wanted me to photograph him:

He's a pretty good athlete, especially for his age, don't you think?!!

Here's another guy, on the parallell bars.

But most people in the park exercised more quietly, and some just trained their minds:

I asked for a portrait of this old lady, which was much appreciated by her and those with her!

Be well, everybody!
