"China - Outside Perspective #3" by Doug Fogelson

Although the traffic light says stop, there is nothing static about this 2003 photograph by Doug Fogelson. The artist captures the restless energy of Chinese urban life in a stream of pedestrians walking beneath a tangle of streetcar lines, colorful billboards, and the vertical rise of hive-like buildings. The work is part of a series taken during the artist’s honeymoon in China, when his wife, a Hong Kong native, visited the mainland for the first time. The photograph’s rosy cast hints at this time of romance and discovery.
