Cities of China get makeover in new book series

American photographer and writer Bobby Brill called Los Angeles home until he moved to China in 2006, a "crushed" fine art teacher looking for change.

"China was never on my radar, because when I first saw China on TV, it was not positive information," he explains.

He meant to stay for three months, but the stint has turned into almost five years, and the 32-year-old has become a writer of three books about China.
