Beijing Rickshaw Driver

Although many of the quaint and culturally rich areas that I visited a few years ago have been torn down as they were replaced in an effort to 'modernize' for the 2008 Olympics, the Peoples Republic of China is still a fantastic country to photograph.

This portrait of the traditional rickshaw driver is one of my favorite images as it presents that cultural juxtaposition of the 'old' and the 'new' that I have often experienced throughout my visits to China.
