Just before leaving Pingyao, I walked outside of our hotel and noticed my friend and travel companion, pbase photographer Tim May, diligently editing his pictures on his laptop at a desk by the lobby window. I took a number of images of Tim at work, integrating him with the hotel background and the street reflections behind me. In this image, I was able to place the reflection of a cyclist carrying an adult and child between Tim and the left hand edge of the picture, just as they floated into the decorative swirls on the window. The rest of the street is empty, allowing Tim and his gear space to work. I even included my own hand holding a small camera at the right edge, adding another layer of reflected context. In the background, the hotel’s front desk and a crowd of people waiting to check out merge into the reflection of a store just across the street. It is a fantasy image about photographers and their dreamy impressions of China.
