   Photography in China was a challenge for me. I think we all found that our pictures lacked the clarity and punch we were used to, the fault of the hazy air we experienced almost every day. In the name of art, I could have restored some of this through software by increasing the contrast, but, in the name of reality, I decided to preserve the haze as we experienced it.
   We each saw China from the same places, so many of our pictures are almost duplicates. But apart from the fact that we often stood in each other's footsteps for our pictures, each person's vision through the haze was different—what was important to us and why, and how we wanted to remember it. And how we wanted to remember each other.
