I couldn’t resist mixing my two favourite themes: street photography and language!

So here are a few shots of the people of Beijing, plus several creative signs I collected.

    Superbes photos qui donnent un aperçu de la Chine, merci ! Je suis toujours admirative de tes photos, les seules photos que j’arrive à prendre sont celles de michoco car ça me permet de prendre une photo tout en gardant un oeil sur lui !!! :-p

      C’est gentil! La photo reste ma grande passion… ça vient avec de la pratique!

        depuis que je ne suis plus “touriste” en Afrique, je n’ose pas, j’ai l’impression de déranger les gens, je me dis que je n’aimerais pas qu’un inconnu me prenne en photo… du coup ça me bloque !

          Je détestais les photos avant, maintenant je les apprécie sans pour autant m’aimer sur toutes les photos. Je pars du principe certes niais mais vrai pour moi que les gens sont beaux, et j’essaie de les mettre en valeur. Ça m’est arrivé de donner la photo que je venais de prendre, les gens trouvent ça sympa de se voir comme ça au naturel et certains apprécient! Je n’ai jamais eu de mauvaise expérience en fait.
