I spent three days on documenting Chinatown. I went during different times of the day, morning, afternoon and night. I took photos of Chinatown natives, Bostonians and tourists. The atmosphere of Chinatown is different during the different times of day. You can find workers moving carts of food in the morning and afternoon. Natives and tourists looking for authentic food throughout the day and night, and on morning rainy days you can find workers hiding in building doorways talking to each other and smoking cigarettes.
