wonderful gallery. just having returned from a visit to china and post-processing my photos, yours make me envious -- you capture the dichotomy and mood so much better. almost makes me want to go buy a canon. ;-)

Wonderful gallery. I was in China in 1990. It is fantastic to see the changes and in some images the old ways.--Rene

Excellent supplement with this gallery to the recent exhibition "Humanism in China" here in the Museum of Modern Art Frankfurt with 590 documentary shots from several chinese photographers taken over the last 50 years - the very first first time shown outside China.! (was also shown in the Shanghai Art Museum in 2004).

I`m really excited to discover your works here and I`ll take my time for this pleasure!

francis lee 11-Apr-2006 01:55
Hi Jennifer, your images never fail to evoke me as i keep coming back to view them. China....Ah....the whole world's watchin now.
jeff law 01-Mar-2006 15:33
Hey Jen,
I love all your pictures. Your pictures are very inspiring. I love the angles and the colours are terrific. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of lens were you using in most of your pictures. I feel your pictures are really rich in colors, like its popping out of the picture; they totally stand out. Also, I love your pictures of Vancouver also. I use to live there and finished my studies in SFU; seeing your pictures of SFU brings back a lot of good memories.
Leo 23-Dec-2005 08:20
Hi Jen,
Remember when you told me about one Chinese fan of yours told you that your photos are much like the movie director Mr. Zhang's work, to many Chinese and foreign viewers? It came to me as a thought that your street photos are mostly B&W image and mostly revealing the "dark side" of the story. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I personally think those "dark side" of the story can easily get people's attention and let them think than a "happy picture". Do you see the possiblility of taking some more "fun pictures"? Haha, maybe I'm asking too much. Anyways, keep up the good work.

with love~!
Marcos Garc韆 10-Dec-2005 13:41
Really nice work
Vincent Boreux 08-Dec-2005 22:43
I often look at your galleries and realise I had never post comment. I love your work! Human and colorful! Espacially your view of China!
谢谢你！我很喜欢你的相片！

These pictures are just great. I hope that we will see more soon.
Guest 03-Oct-2005 16:10
I have just come across your site and I find all the images to be very intriguing.
I have been a photographer for a very short period of time and my passion lies in street photography. It was wonderful to see your images. Thank you !

Guest 19-Sep-2005 22:09
this is an outstanding gallery, Jennifer! the way you were able to show the life, spirit and mood of China is awesome... you use of color and movement to enhance your message. Powerful work!
Bryan Miller 07-Sep-2005 15:31
there is no question... you have the eye for composition
fascinating gallery of photographs

I must leave a challenge though
how about a new word to take the place of incongruous - it is used too much ;)
how about 'opposite' 'contrary' 'contradiction' 'inconsistent' 'incompatible'
only a little joke ;0

Matt Reichel 18-Aug-2005 14:05
Excellent work, you've done a great job of expressing some of the many sides to China. I don't believe these photos are out of date (hence the photo of Ronald McDonnald on Nanjing Lu), they just don't depict the hustle and bustle of Xidan on a Saturday night. Again, ni de zhao pian zhen hao, rang hao duo ren kan kan zhong guo de fa zhan, bing qie chuan tong, xie xie.

Thank you for capturing the beauty of my country. Your shots of people are amazing.
karuna kaewpromrerk 03-Feb-2005 08:39
you're good.
JJ 26-Jan-2005 03:50
This is my people and you have captured them beautifully. I grew up in China and moved to the US when I was 9. I see so much in each photo, not just the people, not just the objects, the colors but I see the people's lives on their faces and everything else. Thank you. They are wonderful.
Michael Slabina 22-Jan-2005 21:20

What a wonderful gallery Jennifer! I am just back from my travels in China, but went out West and am sorting through my pictures in order to post them here as well - please have a look and let me know what you think.

Very cool gallery !!
You have what Dr. Evil would call a certain "Photo...MoJo !!"
I just call your style Visual Poetry.
Take care,

Marvellous compilation of diverse and iconic images. I've seen some of these before, but not, for example, the flag man, which is an outstanding and original image. Whatever the medium, lens, subject -- your strong style shines through.

Tami 14-Oct-2004 22:23
I have to agree with Vlado, phenomenal work.

Linda Zhang 12-Oct-2004 19:16
Thank you for this terrific gallery. I feel you have captured so much of contemporary life in China, at least in urban China. I appreciate how difficult it is to do street photography. Well done!

4,000 years of civilization, and now including Ronald McDonald's... ;-)

Phil Douglis 04-Oct-2004 21:57
What a marvelous start to a remarkable gallery, Jen. I know that you will continue capture the essence of China's street life here -- which means exploring these public spaces, capturing their sounds, smells, and sights, defining the character of the places that line them, and the energy and spirit of all those who move through them. Give us, through your very special brand of street photography and photojournalism, your intimate impressions of life in these public spaces, and make us come to understand and care about all those whose lives are spent on them. Good luck,

Phil
