My First Time: Beijing, China

Last week, I was priveledged to see and photograph young Chinese gymnasts in the cities of Changsha and Beijing, two places that I had never had the opportunity to visite before. The experience of having to see children at a tender ages of 4 and above working out in a gym with lean lithe and strong bodies was treated with a mixture of incredulity, awe, and happiness. Humbled by the rudimentary facilities in near scorching heat and humidity, Changsha offered me a rare view into the dedicated and fearless children that will one day be the possible champions of the city, province, nation, or world.

When I get the films developed, I will have a few images online on my website, but until now, you'll have to wait.
