Pingyao moments~

Pingyao, an ancient town in the Shanxi province of China, completely walled, preserved and authentic looking, is home to the yearly Pingyao photography festival where thousands of photographer meet. I visited for 3 days as 2 of my photographs were curated and included in a show there and during the last 2 days, it rained endlessly setting a beautiful mood for photography. I walked and walked, got drenched and took some photos that I will treasure for always.

Inspiring! Thanks for sharing!

Nice photos

what a great image, the guy with the umbrella, love it!

Thank you so much Karl!

Beautiful and evocative! Thank you Mimo…

many thanks!

always a pleasure to look at your photos – I was blown away by the colours and composition of your third pic, and somehow umbrella pictures are so poignant – or is that just me?

Thank you, that’s a self portrait snapped with the iphone 🙂 I think umbrellas are so striking in images, and I never tire of photographing them on rainy days.
