Walking Around Beijing
Snapshots
In writing the essence of this photo, I started thinking about the word “snapshot” — it got me to thinking… what do you think about it? Sorry for the esoteric questions, btw!
Daily Photo – Walking Around Beijing
In some ways, this photo is quite banal. In fact, I’ll be honest, in Most ways. But it is kind of a snapshot of Beijing. I’m not so into “snapshots” which are kind of modern or current pictures of people and their places. I don’t know if that makes sense. Probably not. But I think about this a lot when I look at old-timey photos. I’m sure they are very obvious or plain back when they are taken, but they seem so interesting when seen 30+ years later. I figure these sorts of photos probably won’t hit that kind of awesome-level, because now everyone has cameras, so photos are less rare, but I do my humble best to pick out interesting slices of humanlife in places like this.
