[Leica] IMG: Chinese Chequers - historic

[Nathan Wajsman]

I suspect today you would be hard-pressed to find such a scene in Beijing—from what I understand, there are few bicycles, many more cars, and the air makes it unlikely for anyone to want to sit outside. 

Cheers,
Nathan

I have a feeling that the guy top right was some kind of political local ‘watcher’ but that could just be my imagination. Despite this being nearly 20 years ago I never at any time felt that I was restricted in any way with what I could photograph or who I could talk to.
