PICTURE CHINA

Picture China is a photographic journey through contemporary China. From the teeming metropolises of the east coast to the rural villages of the interior to the lofty Tibetan plateau, New York City based photographer Dan Eckstein traveled 10,000km over the course of eight weeks to document this rapidly changing country. The result is a unique portrait of life in modern China and the issues that its people face.

The project is in the form of a photoblog and is easily navigated by using the archives section to view individual posts. You may also use the categories (listed to the right) to focus in on a particular city, region or topic. To view the project from the beginning, click here.
