Chinese Boots

[Yoyo Szeto]

This is a traditional Chinese pharmacy. The couple are the owners of the shop. They kindly allowed me to take a photo of their premise. Welcome your views.

How I wish We had chemists like that over here instead of the monterous, plastic, sheds, staffed by zombies that pass as shops but that everybody seems to love.
I love shots like this and I hope the couple and their shop survives for ever. The white bag on the counter is a bit swollen but the chemists appear to be working on that.
When I was in China recently and had a wonderful foot massage by a blind practitioner and I was walking on air for hours afterwards.
Was the picture taken in HK or China Yoyo.

Hi pointbreak, You are right about the exposure. I guess a merge between two digitally exposed shots would help.

Hi Tom, The shot was taken in Tai O, a village in Hong Kong. It is a shame that shops like this are disappearing here. I am glad that the shot refreshes your memory.

I rarely have anything to add when viewing your photos Yoyo. They all are wonderful, and I still enjoy seeing your point of view on life. Photos like this remind me of some classic B&W photojournalism work from a time ago.

If some one showed me this pic i would know instantly who took it. The old Yoyo that i prefer, the one that brings china to life through these great pics of every day life. A simple crop of the top removes most of the overblown parts. Well done.
