TITLE: Chinatown in Lockdown

AUTHOR: Annette Willis (Australia)

I am interested in the stories that unfold in the street. The small moments that are quickly lost and forgotten. I often wait for the play of light in the same place day after day to see who will pass by. Reflections and shadows fascinate me.
