Flickr pains me mostly
I've finally gotten through all of the photos from China, and uploaded what's worth uploading to Flickr. You can see random photos from our trip to adopt R. in my China 2008 set.
I will warn you that there are 64 photos and very, very few of my family. Mostly scenery type stuff. The stuff my grandmother disliked. She never saw the point of taking a picture that didn't have a person in it. A point on which we disagreed. As you will see if you click through my photos. I loved my grandmother a lot—she made crazy good cream cheese and olives on celery and she washed paper plates. But she was just wrong in her photographic sensibilities.
Anyway. Photos. Lots of them. Mostly without recognizable people. For you. Or not.

Posted by: Debberoo at April 17, 2008 10:35 PMAmazing photos!! Thanks for sharing. I'm inspired to get some great shots on our upcoming trip.
I hope things are going well for you guys and that you're feeling more settled these days.

Posted by: OmegaMom at April 17, 2008 10:38 PMI love these pictures! Some of my favorite pictures from China are like this. May enjoyed seeing the lanterns and street vendor treats.
I'm still trying to get my China 2005 photos uploaded to Flickr.

Posted by: mama d at April 18, 2008 8:55 AMI'm sure your grandmother was a lovely person, despite her taste in photos, but I have to say, this set is GORGEOUS. You have an excellent eye! And you've made me really wish I could go back this year...
Posted by: Jenn at April 18, 2008 11:16 AMWow, those are fantastic. Just fantastic.
Posted by: Jeanne at April 18, 2008 4:43 PMDo you do any retouching or batch retouching? The lighting in these shots is so incredible!
Posted by: mama d at April 20, 2008 4:31 PMI really love your China photos, especially the lantern photos. Is there a way I can buy a few of them, either from you or through Flicker? (I hope that you're not offended, but I am a big fan of your discerning eye.)
Also, yay to Z. on eating the mashed potatoes. Hope that the sibling rivalry is getting a bit better and that R. is no longer flirting with strange waitresses. He should save that for when he is in college.
Best, Jane
