Shanghai Tan

Here’s the live picture on the National Geographic site, and a screen shot of it. The chosen photo appears here in my own album.

Thirteen days at Nepal seemed like a long trip, but processing the tons of photos seems like even longer… but it’s all done now. Please go to my online gallery to see the album. As someone who has seen Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, China, and Japan, I thought I’ve seen it all in Asia, until I [...]

My photo is the 5th from bottom up in this page.

Mary and I went to Osaka [大阪] and Kyoto [京都] during the Chinese Spring Festival, trying to escape the customary overdose of food and alcohol, the all-day-long and all-week-long continuous firecrackers and fireworks, trying to have a peaceful time at the Japanese Kansai region.

Then during 2009, I keep seeing photos of Xiapu in almost every issue of any photography magazine. Apparently many professional photographers went there [...]

That was around the end of May. Then at the beginning of June, Sandra (from Scotland) helped us draft a vacation plan with [...]

Following the trip from Sanqingshan, we drove about 70km to Wuyuan and stayed there for 3 days 2 nights. This was my second time to Jiangxi Wuyuan [江西婺源], last year was also during this season of omnipresent yellow rapeseed fields. With the freedom of driving, our aim this time was to visit a much larger [...]
