This shot below is my favourite one, he just could not stop watching anyone take photos.
He is looking at a stranger here.

Generation Gap
I fell in love with this old man the minute I saw him. He was visiting the Bird's Nest. His clothes tell me he is from the country (he is still wearing the traditional dress from the Cultural Revolution days) and so did his responses - he kept walking around looking and touching everything. He was so amazed by the cameras and he kept looking at my camera and wanting to see what it did, to be more specific what the digital screen on the back did.

Isn't it amazing at what we take for granted? LOVE that last shot.
These are priceless! Love love that face--so much life and experience etched into it. The last shot is wonderful--the juxtaposition of old and new, modern and traditional. Very cool. You must see vignettes like this all the time.
How funny my great grand grampa did the same with my camera.
What perfect pictures. I love the colors and the details of his face on the first one; but the story told by the second picture is wonderful.
These are great! I love the look on his face in the second one.
What a great interaction you have captured here! I think that technology definitely does put a gap in generations everywhere around the world.
Love your portrait of the man - so interesting! And love the second one for the look he's got!
He is so cute! I love these, he has such a childlike look of wonder about him. Amazing.
I would love to hear his story - where is he from? What are his impressions of all this modern stuff, because, clearly, he is interested. Great job with these captures.
