Photographer’s Note

Amidst Chinese mass production - you can still find the blue flames of traditional hand-welded crockery manufacture...

Provia 100 slide scanned on a Canon FS4000 scanner. Adjusted in CS4. Perhaps the very end of my film use.

Yeah a great moment, for me brings all the memories back. This is the Uyghur life which I remember. Well composed, maybe a little too red, but probably because of the Fuji Provia film.
The athmosphere is very nice here.
Good for preparing my next trip, I am going back to Xinjiang this year!

Hi, Caleb.
Excellent scene and composition.
But I am not convinced by those pink tones.
Best regards. Grazyna.

Hi Caleb,
They seem involved in their conversation and not really noticing you much, and it's nice the way they are looking in opposite directions. Had I not seen that this is in China I would never have said it was. I like how you always include elements in the surroundings to give us a good idea about the people, their work and their lives, like here with the metal pots. Good scan.
Best Regards
Wanda
