Seeing Sichuan Through the Survivors’ Lenses

September 23, 2008 3:47 PM

Time’s China blog has an interesting link to a section of the 2008 Pingyao International Photography Festival dedicated to 50 residents of the quake-stricken town of Wenchuan. The residents were given point-and-shoot cameras by Chinese Internet company Netease and asked to record daily after the deadly earthquake that struck Sichuan last May.
