Another photograph from the Lotus Market in Chengdu. Every once in a while, I get this revelation that life is going on all over the planet, all the time. At the same time that I'm typing this, for example, countless huge blue trucks all over China are being stacked full of cardboard boxes and are then probably rumbling off to countless marketplaces full of countless people. Meanwhile, most of the people that I have known for more than three years (i.e., most everyone I know who's in North America right now) is either getting ready for bed or already asleep. Life is going on more or less as usual in all of the places that I've lived or visited, even if I haven't been there in the last twenty years...
Simplistic? Obvious? Nostalgic? Or incredibly cool that we make the connections that we do as we go about the world? In any case, welcome to my brain, everyone.
But back to Chengdu - the guy in the bottom center of the photo who just noticed me and the camera? He makes the shot happen, don't you think...?
That guy and the couple where the guy is wearing a yellow jacket and he has his arm around his girlfriend's neck.
