Those are a lot of fun, Damon. I see the sun is shining in Shanghai. (What is UP with me and all the alliteration today??)

Hey Seamaiden

The sun shines here like twice a month so people tend to take advantage when it does...

...of photos with a common theme. A very interesting and entertaining way to present them. I'm guess these were taken in Shanghi? I'll be watching for more!

Damon, as always I love your work... These were my favorite glimpses into your life in Shanghai, today. Of these, it would be a tough call for me to choose one... But if I had to, I think it would be "Underground Station."
I like that you pulled in close-- the lines in his face, the detail visible in his clothing, his shoes... and still a glimpse into life around him.

Neat shots, damonff. Lots of narcolepsy in China! I like the underground guy too. Have your tried setting a wide aperature so you have a narrow depth of field on shots like that - so the sleeper is isolated from their background? :dunno (Just think it might look pretty good with subjects like that.)

Hey Sid, I'll try that on my next hunt for sleepy people. The blurry background would help. Thanks.
