Assignment: Remarkable
	I grew up spending lots of time on the beach in Southern California. When I was a little kid, my dad would point to the horizon and say, "There is nothing between us and China but that ocean." I had long had the desire to visit China when the opportunity arose to accompany the Boston Ballet as their photographer for their tour of China in 1980. This shot was taken early in the morning, as the sun broke through the cloud cover, about 50 miles outside of Beijing. The original image is a Kodachrome slide.
