Street Photography: Suzhou Alleys and Canals

On a trip to China in spring of this year, I took a day trip to the city of Suzhou.

Suzhou is a street photographer’s daydream. Old streets, narrow alleys and a network of canals. My time spent here was really far too short, but these images capture a few of the sights that I was able to witness.
