Dean Wong's photographic series documents the Chinese-American residents in San Francisco's Chinatown as they go about their daily lives during the Chinese New Year celebration. His three photographs are voyeuristic glimpses into the activities of residential life, ranging from quiet introspection to distracting street noise. Although humans are present, they are oblivious to the eye of the camera. Only the children scrutinize the intruder.
