When I travelled with a Chinese friend of mine to Xinjiang in 2007, I made a lot of photographs of the Uigures in the Taklamakan Desert and the Cities like Kashgar, Urumqui and Turfan. Now I often have to think about all these very nice people I was lucky to meet. They have been so friendly. All the children: Where are they now? How is their living?
I have made these pictures with a canon eos 350 D 15 years from now. But I will never forget these people, they impressed me very much by their dignity and their open friendliness.
