“May I take a photo of you?”
At first, I only saw the gentleman with the dog. I was about to leave after I took photos of him alone. The young man with them told me the lady is his wife, and asked if I could take a photo of them together. That’s how the first photo happened… I just love that sometimes even if you don’t see it at first, magical moments would happen unannounced.

“May I take a photo of you?” … No, he does not speak English😅. I met this gentleman at Jingshan park in Beijing. He is soooo tall, I saw him from far away. I really love his long beard, definitely a wizard!! 🧙🏻♂️… then his friend translated for me, I took 3 shots. These are the 2 I kept.

“May I take a photo of you?” is more of a practice than a project to me, so far at least. When I pick and choose strangers on the street to get their portraits, I don’t really look for a specific “type”, and I don’t really think too much about it. Sometimes it’s their wardrobes and style that catch my eyes. Sometimes it’s the scene they are part of thats interesting. Sometimes I just sense a good vibe.
I don’t know… All of the photos I took feels like a bunch of small pieces from a big jigsaw puzzle. I’m just really curious to see what this practice will lead to… / Photo Notes

“May I take a photo of you?!”
“Me?! Why? I’m not good looking…”
“I think you are. And you are growing strawberries in winter, that’s is so awesome!!”
And after this photo, we bought 2 full baskets of strawberries from her farm, the strawberries were very very sweet!!🍓
