China has some of the most beautiful and diverse landscapes in the world, but it is the people that really draw me to the country. One of my favorite things to do is sit, watch, and photograph people in rural China going about their daily activities. It’s also a great way to make some friends along the way.
I saw a photo of this picturesque stone bridge a while back while scouting the internet and was immediately determined to shoot there. Luckily, my good friend from Guilin knew the spot, and we drove all the way to Tianxin Village to catch the sunrise behind the incredible karst peaks - just in time to photograph a local buffalo farmer starting his daily activities.
