GOT NERVES?:
Not everyone likes doing this. This was taken on 2008 08 08 and might not be a comfortable position, but the client needed some images that faced straight down so William needed to hang out to clear the skids when pointing downwards.

Tibetan Nomad Family   A LETTER FROM TIBET: Seven years ago William did a kora (or pilgrimage) around Holy Mount Kailash in Western Tibet. Upon his return he mailed this photo (left) as promised and FIVE YEARS later a wonderful hand written reply came.

You can see the letter yourself and read about who helped translate the Tibetan reply... (more)

Beijing Olympics Crane photo   USED "OLYMPIC" PHOTO: One of William Jans' images graced the entire wall of the CANADA PAVILLION in Beijing during the Olympics. This image was displayed 25 feet wide around a curved wall. I wonder if it is in a pile of rubble or maybe a new wall for a Beijing shoe shop maybe? Anyone know?
