In 2006, photojournalist Tom Carter embarked on a historic, 2-year journey that would take him throughout the 33 provinces of China, making him one of the first foreigners in China's 5,000 year history to do so. From the Yellow Sea to the Himalayas, Tom visited well over 200 cities and villages in a determination to understand, and thoroughly record, life and humanity in today's People's Republic. This definitive volume of street photography, entitled CHINA: Portrait of a People, is the most comprehensive collection of imagery of contemporary China ever published by a single author. CHINA: Portrait of a People is available from Hong Kong publisher Blacksmith Books.
