Morning noodles

Earlier this week, I was asked to provide some of my favorite scenic shots of China to be sold at a fundraiser. I was more than happy to oblige, and had fun sorting through some of the shots of the past year. There was one shot in particular that I hadn’t remembered nor lingered over before. However, for some reason, this time it powerfully struck me. It was taken in one of the most scenic places I’ve been to in China, Lijiang, so I think it got a bit lost in the midst of photos of striking architecture and mountains. And yet, I think this might be my new favorite shot of that trip. It was one of those rare “lucky” moments as a photographer where lighting, background and subject all come perfectly together.
