| We traveled to China in April-May 2001.
I took over 5,000 photographs, of which over 800 were used to illustrate the journal of
our trip. The very best are shown here. Click on an image to see in full size. |

The Great Wall of China at Badaling. Panorama taken on a hazy day (4/20/01). |

Children on a school outing to the Great Wall. Can you imagine these kids wearing Mao jackets? What a whirlwind of color! |

Tang Dynasty Dinner & Show in Xi'an (4/23/01). Dancers, musicians and singers dressed in (supposedly) Tang Dynasty traditional dress, from 618-907 A.D. |
 |
Xiling Gorge on the Yangtze River (4/27/01). This is an extreme example of how one can use Photoshop to enhance an otherwise lousy photo; it also demonstrates the wealth of detail that can be hidden in a D30 image; to see what I mean, check out the original! |

Dinner! Taken at the open-air city market in WanZhou (4/29/01). |
 |
"Master of the Nets" home & garden - Suzhou, China. I photographed this in homage to the Chinese landscapes wonderful examples of which we saw in museum in Shanghai, where traditionally the human figure plays a diminutive role. And, in a sense, there is a Chinese painting within the larger China "painting" that I've created (pun intended). |
