20yrs? you sure?
NPR had a great interview with the photographer this morning... interesting.
well, I guess it has been 20yrs.
Alan, great article, thanks for the link. Did you see the new photo from street view that they've published? It adds another dimension to the visual.
Great article. I hope things get better in China when it comes to human rights.
@JacquiRashawna - No do you have a link? I'd love to see it!
@streetphotos - Go back to the article that you posted, they added the picture yesterday. There is a link in the "update" section above the article. Click there and it takes you to the picture and an interview with the guy who took the picture. I love back stories.
@JacquiRashawna - Thanks! I didn't notice the last minute update. The picture really puts you in the middle of what was happening at the time.
Are you gonna be updating your blog in the near future :)
