2214. Taking pictures of people was never a problem, the Chinese were keen photographers themselves.

2205. Guangzhou 2.
It was sweltering and it was drizzling, the ideal combination for drenched clothes.

2204. Guangzhou (formerly called Canton) 1.
As far as I know there were no private cars in 1979, only government vehicles. The cyclist used there cycle bells continuously. Also the air was still reasonably clean.

2203. At the border between Hong Kong and China 2.
I asked the customs-official if I could take a picture: no problem.
The first surprise in a country that was a lot more relaxed than I had expected.

2202. At the border between Hong Kong and China 1.
In the summer of 1979 I travelled through the People's Republic of China.
The trip went from Hong Kong by plain and train via several cities to Peking.
From Peking I took the Trans Siberia Express through Mongolia en the USSR back to the Netherlands.

143. "People nr. 10"
When I motioned that I wanted to take their picture, the parents nodded in agreement and moved to the side. They probably thought that I wanted to photograph their child. The protective, proud look in their eyes speaks volumes.
----------------------------------------------------------
Most pictures from the series "People" are from 35mm slides. My scanner (HP scanjet 5470c) is not very good for slides. I'm very dissatisfied by the quality. The original slides are sharp and rich in colour. The lamp is too weak, so I have to raise the level too much and the light is too blue for slides. I'll just take the loss in quality for granted because I'm primarily interested in the feeling and secondarily in the quality.

142. "People nr. 9"
In Guangzhou (formerly Canton) I took some pictures of a group of children, after a while they fortunately didn't pay attention to me anymore. The boy on the left probably thought he was very interesting because he tried to get into every picture.

Especially the "Nudes" and the "Landscapes" of the artist Deborah Batt I like very much:

93. "Water nr. 15" and "People nr. 3"
This picture is technically far from perfect, still I want to show it because it conveys the atmosphere very well. It was heavily clouded during a downpour and under the trees there was hardly any light. In Holland we associate rain with cold weather but here it was over 30 degrees centigrade, that's why the cameralens was slightly fogged. The very busy street with thousands of cyclists and pedestrians was almost deserted within a minute. I used a Kodachrome slide film with ISO 64. This is not an ideal film for low light situations. The camera was handheld and I used a large aperture with a long shutterspeed.
