Street games in Zhaoxing, a photo from Guizhou, Centre

Photographer's Note

During my trip in China I often noticed folks playing games, like this group in a street oflittle village Zaoxing. I like this feature a lot, and I would learn their games. In my country we call "chinese games" some patience games that I played when I was a child and I don't know if they were really from China; in Italy adult people play cards inside bars ("osterie") expecially when it is cold outside.
I liked this group so much enjoying! They noticed me and my camera, but they didn't care, as you can see!

Bonjour Livia,
Extraordinaire spontanéité dans ce jeu de rue. Les acteurs sont naturels et indifférents à ce qui les entoure. Belle compositoion en cercle et éclairage bien maitrisé.
Amicalement

I only wish I could see what they were playing! :) Neat that you were able to include a little background of the street to share the atmosphere of the place. Good one. :)

Ciao Livia, I like the expression of the players and I like the expression of the viewers that surround them; and we get a nice glimpse of the urban landscape in the background; all this thanks to a nice POV, congratulations and thanks for sharing, regards, Daniel

Bonjour Livia,
Tu as vraiment bien saisi ce qui caractérise les asiatiques en général, c'est le côté faible pour les jeux (pour de l'argent ou pas). J'aime vraiment bien les expressions sur ces visages, les regards petillants des joueurs et la participation passive des curieux autour.
J'ai également parcouru ton album, je trouve que ton regard sur la vie quotidienne en Chine est très intéressant.
Bon dimanche
Hoa

Hello, I like this scene. We can feel the ambiance and the good time they have playing in the street. The photo is well done I think, and not allways easy as a lot of people doesn't like that the tourist realise photo. Good shot. Thanks
