The Forbidden City



As Olympic athletes from around the world are pumping up on vitamins, chewing on organic spinach, and getting themselves in top condition to compete in Beijing in a little over a year, the Chinese government is making last minute efforts to clean up its capital city. It's taking the sickle to bad signage, persecuting bad grammar, planting trees, and establishing no smoking areas within city limits. You think they'll be ready?

I can just imagine the first of the athletes stepping off the tarmac and taking in a big whiff of Beijing's house blend.

Good static framing, but... where's the focus?
