[quote=BINBINT,302818]The author of CHINA: Portrait of a People, Tom Carter is a rising star in photojournalism. His new book of photography is the largest collection of images on contemporary China ever published by one author. Already in China, Tom has become a minor celebrity for being one of the first foreigners in the history of our country to have journeyed extensively to all 33 provinces and autonomous regions. Following the upcoming international release of his book, I expect the media spotlight on Tom will become much brighter.

“I THRIVE ON NEW EXPERIENCE”

Tom’s articles and photos have been published by every English magazine and newspaper in China, and his book CHINA: Portrait of a People has "best seller" written all over it. But for the time being he is still a freelancer hunting for a decent job. Conversely, he is famed throughout China for his photography, but right now he even doesn’t even have a camera. “My only camera died after my travels. It was an old one and took a lot of beatings. I’m too broke to afford a new one, so for now I’m like a bird without wings.”

Asking for his plan in the New Year, he was a little bit hesitant but then confided in me: “I’m moving.” Seeing my confusion, he added, “It’s time. I’ve seen everything and done everything in China. I want to experience more of the world. I thrive on new experience...that’s my nature.”

Like a philosopher, Tom Carter and his now-deceased camera explored the fate of the Chinese individual, as well as himself. Tom is fascinated by life, and life responded to his diligence with great harvest.

Forty years ago, Bob Dylan asked: how many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man?” Tom Carter can be called a man, for love, truth and honor stand firm in his heart. He said he will keep going and that he needs to be on the road, for it is his fate. “But no matter where I go, I’m always associated with China.”
