Taken during the night of Chinatown in Los Angeles, this picture featured an iconic restaurant once appeared in Jackie Chan's Rush Hour 2. Capturing not only the consumers enjoying dinner and persistance of the restaurant operating despite the general downfall of the area, but also the fascinating glare effect. B&W photo under low light condition with the contrast of the starry glare and nice reflection on the window gave this work some irresistable texture. Through this work I want to offer a new way to intepret LA Chinatown, a Chinatown without neon light and sterotypical buildings.
