Photography Equipment in Beijing
•
2 min read
I’ve been meaning to document this here so I can find it easily in the future. Where do you go to buy photography equipment when you’re in China? Look no further than the Beijing photography city. If I remember correctly, it’s about 2 stories filled with a hundred different stores/booths. I didn’t buy any big-ticket…

I guess there’s really nowhere to put that small “baby on board” sign that people place in the back window of their cars to encourage safe driving.

2 min read
I’ve spent the past 5 summers with students in China. I don’t shoot as much as I usually do because I feel like I’m “at work” and need to make sure the project is going well and that everyone’s doing well. That’s probably why I’ve posted very few pictures from China here on the blog.…

Some groups like to take pictures of food. This group likes to jump. Pictures are from this past summer’s program. The 3rd picture is too blurry–gotta work on taking action shots in lower light levels. Jumping at Tiananmen Square: Jumping at Yuanmingyuan (The Old Summer Palace): Jumping at the Ethnic Minority Park: Jumping at Olympic…

Edited: Friday, August 22 When I got back, everyone kept asking why I didn’t stay for the Olympics. My answer was “it’s better watching it on TV.” But now that I’ve seen these pictures, I guess being at the opening ceremonies wouldn’t have been too bad. More here or check out some weird Olympics photos.

Beijing, China I don’t think I posted a picture of this from 2006, but here it is with 50 days to go. We were on an outing at Tiananmen Square with the kids this past Thursday. It felt like an oven in the middle of the square.

Not exactly like that song, but I flew in, had dinner, slept, and will leave for the orphanage in about 2 hours. I haven’t even bust out my camera, yet. What is this world coming to?

Update: By the way, read about what China is saying about the torch relay here and here. The Olympic flame landed in SFO today around 3:40am. There have been so many protests already. Being Chinese American, I am proud of China’s rise in power and prominence, but at the same time, I am dismayed at…

World Pillow Fight Day – March 22, 2008. Massive pillow fights will be happening all over the world, except San Francisco, because we already had ours on Valentine’s Day. Too bad I missed it this year. But guess what? They’ve got it going on in Beijing and Shanghai. Fun.
