Drying Lineby ~avotius

Photography / Photojournalism / Other

Hardly anyone in China has a clothes dryer so everyone hangs their clothes out all year around. In fact I have never seen a clothes dryer here yet that wasn't hung from a pole. People also hang clothes anywhere, even in the middle of a public sidewalk like here.

Would have been nice to be at a different angle where the sky didn't overpower the whole shot but couldn't help it, pretty much any way angle since I was aiming the lens up, thats just how it way.

Canon EOS 30V, Canon 17-40mm L lens, Era 100.

i really like the perspective here...something you don't see very often with journalistic shots. you really combined aestetics and information perfectly. great shot!

This is so interesting shot

. I like perspective very much.

I like the angle, but I see what you mean about the sky. The contrast in the foreground is still sweet and fills most of the picture so I don't really think it matters much. People in the west would never hang their clothes in the street....shame they are so image conscience.

Wow that is certainly different...to be walking down the sidewalk right into someones unmentionables!
