What a terrific collection! "Everybody Has a Story" and your images vividly and artfully capture defining moments in those stories. My compliments and vote.

TIM KEWERITSCH 11-Sep-2007 08:53
such impressive images....realy love ur style...and the way u capture he moment...
flowsnow 31-May-2007 00:30
I am beginning to get that inspiration of story telling from the images I see you presented here. Next time when I go out shooting I will spend more time thinking and composing my images as such it tells a story. Well done Jennifer!
Ken McColl 24-Dec-2006 07:12
I know I have been here before Jennifer but I always love returning to your galleries and invariably find more in the second (or 3rd) looking. A wonderful gallery..congrats. KMc

Very impressive!!!
dan 26-Aug-2006 01:03
great emotions, i like the shots and the framing so much. I especially like the one of the child behind the girls legs. Some of the pictures i feel like have a little to much post digital editing. But that is only a personal preference
Guenter Eh 17-Aug-2006 11:32
You work and mind amazes me Jennifer! Every single picture is indeed a story teller. I`m impressed by your talent.

Very impressive gallery with really superb shots!
Ka-Hung Daniel Lam 24-Oct-2004 03:33
I thought you probably have enough encouragement... but still... got a few things to say.
-I'm attracted by 1 great pic on the front page of pbase, then I noticed that it's a famale photographer, I'm was surprised! Then I clicked.
-It proves that if a man wants, he can take care of baby well too.
-But of course, those are the exceptions. I still believe that man and woman both are given different talent.
-You're the exception. Thanks so much for the photos.
Gilles Navet 19-Oct-2004 07:24

Hi Jennifer,
I am awestruck by your photos. I have visited China (especially Shanghai) many times and have never seen it the way you captured it in your images. Next time I'm there I will remember you and take time to see everything with care & purpose.
Thank you very much for sharing your passion.

Melvin,

m 28-Sep-2004 12:51
Hi Jenny, the pure b&w treatment does your images more justice, it makes them slicker and for me has revealed passed-by jems such as the taxi shot. Here's another vote (if it'll let me ;-)
dazedgonebye 27-Sep-2004 13:57
Back again to take another look.
This gallery is a glimpse in to another world for me. Very well done, and appreciated.
Ray Soemarsono - www.aperturaphoto.com 25-Sep-2004 23:45

Street photography AT ITS BEST!!!
Jennifer Zhou 13-Aug-2004 08:48
Oh...Marek, I don't know what to say...I am so so flattered and a bit embarrassed when seeing your comment! But I will try really hard to make good photographs in the future! Thank you! Thank you for everything!!:))
Jennifer Zhou 13-Aug-2004 08:34
Thank you, Vera! Nice to see you again! I remember when I was in Vancouver, we sometimes coincidently took pictures from a same spot, and later we share them to each other! It was so much fun, I wish I could go back and do that again! Haha, I would very much like to see stories of Canadian people through your camera!! Good luck!
Mandy 12-Aug-2004 19:27

Leo 12-Aug-2004 01:30
Vera: Yes, that was me. It's always nice to see other people's creations. Thanks for your kindness, we are happy, especially Jenny, that she has wonderful people like you to support her, and help her. All the best to you, have fun.
m 11-Aug-2004 09:32
Henri, wherever you are, I hope you're watching...
vera 11-Aug-2004 08:13
Hi Jennifer, congratulations on your new found interest in photojournalism, which already makes such great achievement! Looking forward to seeing more here. And hopefully in no time I will overcome the fear of taking photos of unknown people, and try it out too! :-) cheers, Vera.
p.s. Please allow me to ask this here: Leo, was that you left me comment here a couple of days ago? Just wondering. :-) Regardless, let me say (though very late!) congratulations to you two on your new life as a couple and in Shanghai!
Jennifer Zhou 10-Aug-2004 05:35
Thanks to all of you and your comments here! really appreciate!!
This is my very first approach to this kind of photography, so your comments are very improtant to me. I understand I got lots of improvement to make later on, but I will try and bring more to you all. Thanks again!

All the best!

Jennifer
Phil Douglis 09-Aug-2004 18:29
A profound and substantive gallery, Jennifer. These images go beyond eye-candy -- they strike at the mind, heart, and emotions simultaneously. They are the most human and expressive work you have done to date. And "80" is perhaps the most memorable of them all. It asks questions and demands answers from all of us. You can't ask for much more than that from a photograph. Good luck in your new direction as a photojournalist.
Anne Young 07-Aug-2004 14:12
Beautiful work.
Ira Morenberg 07-Aug-2004 14:08
This may be the best China Gallery on Pbase. It gets my vote. You do great work. I will be setting up my own NYC Chinatown gallery shortly.
Wes Armour 07-Aug-2004 09:55
A great gallery with some thought provoking images. You have a real talent! A pleasure to view!
dR. . . 07-Aug-2004 03:21
great work, so fortunate to have the ability to get to the locations that you are able to get to... such amazing places. all of these shots are unique and strong...

Such stories to tell, everyone does indeed have one! All the world is a stage. ; )

well done!

Each photo has several layers the story too – enjoyed the gallery.
Leo 06-Aug-2004 02:32
Excellent~!!! Bright idea! and brilliantly carried out. This gallery is truely a photographical presentation IMHO. Well done, I felt a good gallery is not only a collectiopn of photos, or just imagies of the past, it should represent the view of the photographer, or express feelings or emotions, sometimes a single photo can achieve that, but sometimes takes a group of photos. The feelings will not need to be said out loud, because the viewers of the imagies will put on their own feelings to complete a perfect scene in their minds. Thanks for sharing.
