Artist's Comments

This old man sitting outside a gambling parlor on a hot day had to give me a good once over as I was wandering around his neighborhood, probably wondering what a foreigner was doing way the heck away from everything. Not many “lao wai” (loosely translated means foreigner) travel outside the touristy areas and many Chinese people will take great interest in you and strike up a conversation or simply follow you around for miles.
