Chinese Daycare RANT
I was riding my bike around our village early on Saturday morning and rounded the corner in a new technology park and found a 3 year old girl sleeping on the sidewalk.
China Village Night Life – 11.15.11
Another night of prowling the village for some interesting shots. I used a fast F1.8 lens + high ISO to turn night into day.
Tibet | Shadows & Reflections
The light in Tibet is amazing. It’s VERY bright and casts deep shadows.
Beijing – Tiananmen Square
If St. Mark’s Square is the “Living Room” of Venice, then Tienanmen Square is the living room of Beijing. Security is very tight, as evidenced by the hundreds of surveillance camera and dozens of police men & soldiers.
Beijing – Olympic Park
Beautiful architecture that’s still timeless. The care-and-feeding of the buildings could be improved to prolong their life span. The crowds are gone and now the Olympic Park is a curiosity for a few visitors.
Village Nightlife
I went prowling around the village last night with a fast 35mm f1.8 lens to test the low light capabilities of the D3100. Not bad. Some of these shots look like they were taken in the middle of the day because of the amount of lighting in the village and the fast lens.
Uighur Family Portrait
Today while eating lunch, the wife of the restaurant owner (not an English speaker) used “charades” to ask me if I would photograph her daughter. Of course this was a great honor for me, so I came back with my camera gear and started shooting away.
Makeup Lady
I bought some “Ugly Girl” brand “Snake Oil Hand Creme” for my daughter. I’m not sure that brand name would play well in the US.
Toys-R-Us
This is the toy lady. She sets up a table at the local open-air market and the kids swarm around her like bees.
At the meat shop
Shopping with Mom, the pig tails were great. She’s standing on the back of Mom’s bike while Mom is texting. At least she stopped riding the bike…
Alpha Male
Pinstripes at that age? The only nearby playground is a pile of construction debris. Boys find fun in stuff like that.
Street BBQ Girl
This little girl was playing cards on the street near our table at the street BBQ in Qingxi. I took quite a few shots but this was the best.
Baby Boy
This little guy was incredibly cute. Rolling around the sidewalk outside the grocery store.
