Time for a change. Time to be more all encompassing, more directed in my witterings, ramblings, musings, rants and raves about all things that belong to that thing we call culture, that thing that grows and multiplies, that thing that we cultivate through expression, through life. I work in the arts, on festivals, run gigs, produce events, run a free online arts resource, this ezine, listen to the radio, watch tv, sport, read alot, drink too much, have a constant hankering for sausages and ice cream, give out, complain and don’t see enough of what I claim to love.

CHINA: Portrait of a People

CHINA: Portrait of a People

Folks either planning a vacation to China or returning from one would do well to pick up a copy of Tom Carter’s new photography book, CHINA: Portrait of a People.

If your photos are not as great as you wish they coud be, or if you are intimated by photographing people, Carter inspires with 800 portraits of Chinese people. If your tour was constricted to the cliched Beijing-Shaanxi-Yangtze-Sichuan-Shanghai route like ours was, you will be indebted to Carter for visiting all of China’s 33 provinces and over 200 cities and villages during his 2-year backpacking quest. And if you are seeking that perfect souvenir of China, a keepsake that you will treasure and always want to look at, and if you think that a Mao watch or a fake- cheongsam or a pirated DVD won’t do the trick, then having CHINA: Portrait of a People on your bookshelf will.
