streets of Beijing, summer 2006
《水调歌头》 明月几时有，把酒问青天。不知天上宫阙，今夕是何年。我欲乘风归去, 又恐琼楼玉宇，高处不胜寒，起舞弄清影，何似在人间。转朱阁，低绮户，照无眠。不应有恨，何事长向别时圆。人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全。但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。

Queries and thoughts about the photos are always welcome via the comment function.

Man, that’s brilliant. Where’d you find it?

About 30 minutes from Tian’anmen Square, in a Hutong. I thought it was pretty neat, too, just written on a wall like that…nice.
