Sichuan Earthquake
Sichuan Earthquake Survivors - PhotoPosted by Lydia Wallace, June 25, 2008 3:00 PM
 In a tent camp set up in a park in Loushui, this boy ran up to me and asked me to take his picture. At first, like many in China he made the peace sign to the camera. When I asked him not to he frowned, thinking, and then saluted. Lydia Wallace was interning at Danwei when the Sichuan earthquake struck. She is now working for a disaster relief organization in Sichuan and will be publishing stories and photographs about the people she meets. She is also blogging at www.fiferis.com.

Comments on Sichuan Earthquake Survivors - PhotoPretty funny. I also tell people (kids AND adults) to please refrain from using that inane "peace" or V symbol while posing for a photo. What exactly is wrong with making that sign, if they feel like doing so? Is a salute any better? I agree with G... I would assume that you want the people in your photos to be spontaneous and poised rather than rigid and posed. The peace sign is avery natural expression for photos thoughout Asia. |
