Signs

After valiantly fighting through 12 rounds of food poisoning, I made it a point to go out today with camera in hand to capture something I’ve been meaning to capture for a while.

Signs

Our streets here are littered with all kinds of signage.  You have the normal stores, restaurants, and fruit stand signs – but that’s not what I was after.  What most people don’t realize when they first come to China is that when you build a wall, any wall, that wall is now a virtual bulletin board.  Public announcements, signs warning against H1N1, illegal documents – all plastered haphazardly on whatever space they can find.

I noticed this months ago and like I said, I’ve been meaning to capture it.

As I walked out the door I realize that most people, like me, were taking advantage of a sunny 50+ degree day.  Tons of people out.  I realized quickly that there were different kinds of signs I was seeing today as well – Springtime & Modernization were among them.  I did get a lot of what I was after, but I also got a lot more.

Nonetheless, It was a fun day out shooting things I normally wouldn’t shoot.

More after the break…
