Hi, Mr. French,
Have you taken photos of run-down American inner city quarters? I understand the beauty in those ordinary people as captured by your camera. I am sure they were so glad that they would be moving to better apartments and better life, leaving behind the old quarters only in your photos. This "wonderland" to you is kinda like Brooklyn to a Chinese. The only difference is that the old Shanghai quarters are disappearing fast while the old Brooklyn quarters don't.
