Objects Farther Than They Appear

2009, Beijing, China, peephole, Stephen Kovaz, travelThis photo was taken in 2009 at our hotel in Beijing, China. Pictured through the peephole is my friend, Stephen Kovaz. In the U.S., a burglary occurs every 14.6 seconds and 34% of burglars come in through the front door. So please, lock your doors and utilize your peepholes.

Skating the Great Wall

2008, China, Dandong, Great Wall of China, skateboarding, Stephen Kovaz, travelThis photo was taken in 2008 at the Great Wall of China in Dandong, China. The skater in this photo is my friend, Stephen Kovaz. The Great Wall or Chang Cheng, as it is called in Chinese was originally erected to protect China from unwanted visitors and nomadic hordes. Including all of it's branches, the Great Wall is 5500 miles in length and contrary to popular belief is not easily visible from space. The construction of the Great Wall started in 5th century B.C. and various emperors added to the wall until around 1620.
