Photographer Nadav Kander traveled China over three years to explore the modern Yangtze river and the contrasts between old and new.  His stills show the grand scale of industrialized China around the Yangtze and the small, fragile humanity inhabiting it.  It represents a place where modern China has washed away much of its cultural heritage, replaced by the massive concrete dreams of The West. Kander’s collection, titled The Long River, will be shown next month at the Flowers Gallery in New York.  [via fastcodesign]
