The Other Side


While the crew was filming the skateboard artists in their small and crowded studio, I took the chance to wander about the neighborhood. I also sat where Peifen is sitting in this picture and remember watching this friendly traffic control-officer holding his lollipop for the occasional folks crossing the streets even though there was hardly any traffic. The only vehicle that sort of constituted traffic was this middle-aged woman in a electronic wheelchair. Despite being wheelchair bound, the woman went about her business very effortlessly. I saw her leaving her house, rolling herself quietly across the street before entering a shop. In less than 10 minutes, she was out of there and on her way home. She even stopped for a moment to exchange a few words with the "lollipop" man. It was a simple neighborhood but it also felt so safe and comforting. http://www.harvest-re.com/index.html
