This is what greeted me when I stepped out at 9pm to go look for a place to get a bite to eat. Of course, one doesn’t have to look far, but it does help to have choices…
On Sunday morning I took a double-decker tram across downtown to Causeway Bay, where people crowd even on Sundays to shop.
Behind a tram is the safest place in the entire city to ride a bike. Just be careful not so swerve!
Actually on Sundays it is even more crowded because that is a holiday [...]
Hongkong has a plethora of transportation types – many of them unique – including double-decker trolleys, a near-vertical tram to the top of the peak, subways, ferries and jetfoils. But perhaps most unique and interesting of them all is the Midlevels Escalator which runs from the waterfront all the way up through the different neighborhoods [...]
Hollywood Road began as a few blocks of antique shops but recently has grown into the main east-west street that cuts across the Midlevels of Hongkong island, so-called because it is mid-way between the harbor and the peak. Here are a few snaps that I took on a walk along [...]
I’m heading to Asia on a two-week trip. Thought I’d post a few pictures along the way. These are my first ones, just getting to the airport. All taken with my iPhone…
These cyclists are poised to get off the ferry as soon as it lands. I like the guy on the right, with none [...]
This picture has a few stories to it. I find the natural juxtaposition between the males and the females to be of interest…
I was perusing the pictures on my handy little point & shoot, and this photo from the farmer’s (and, apparently, butchers) market in downtown Portland suddenly caught my eye. Funny how sometimes the humor of a shot eludes one until much later. The sausages were delicious, by the way.
Labrang is the largest Tibetan monastery outside of Tibet proper. Located in the highlands of Xiahe, Gansu Province, just a half day’s bus ride from Lanzou.
Scanned from 35mm. Oh yea – that’s me. The one in the blue shirt.
Those sunglasses are large enough that I can see myself in the reflection. And why did she pose for me, anyhow?

If you think English grafitti is difficult, try doing it in Chinese characters, in cursive! Now that takes some skill…
Actually I’m pretty sure this fellow was actually spraying white paint to remove the graffiti. Still…
By Katherine Jardine. And that’s what is interesting about this photo: she was holding her camera out in front of her to take the picture. We have no idea who the little guy was in back. Taken in Jaipur, India.
Actually there’s a story behind this. The feet belong to a baby-sitter and the child is with her in the back of the pickup. Outside the Seabold Vintage Market, which is held on Bainbridge Island four times a year.
“Okay, it’s getting cold in my hand, you can have it now.”

On the way to the market, I met this wonderful woman. She also had a serious side.
This was the first picture I took of her. I can’t remember what it was I said to make her laugh. Probably something in English.
