Frimpong in China - by The Beathersons


Monolithic scale,
a long and potent history,
a future looming large.

China isn't a country - it's a different world.
I had the incredible chance to visit China
for the first time
in company of four wonderful friends of mine,
Bonnie Beavers, Peter Mathers, Lucas Anderson and Juliet Anderson,
whom I’ll call here in short “The Beathersons”.

In this gallery you can find the visual diary
of my thrilling and enriching experience.

“Seeing it once is better than being told 100 times. .” ~Zhou Chongguo, Han Dynasty~
