CHIANG MAI, Thailand -- Chinese photographer Qian Haifeng made his reputation photographing people on trains. And like his principal subject matter, he is forever on the move. "I arrived back in China on Nov. 10 after 37 days of nonstop travel in Thailand," the 56-year-old says of his recent Southeast Asian photography excursion.
Qian is a little hard of hearing and his speech is impeded as a result of operations to cure nose and throat cancer two decades ago. Yet he is clearly buzzing about the trip. "The most impressive thing is the smiles of Thai people," he says. "There are smiling faces everywhere. When I raised my camera, people smiled and even posed for the camera."
