Some Chinese People

I like photographing people.  Sometimes as planned portraits, sometimes just capturing people as they go about their lives.

A woman taking a break after posing for someone else.


An energetic jade saleswoman.


A man greeting guests at a restaurant.



Two people greeting guests arriving for dinner and a show.


People arriving to see the Terracotta Army in Xi'an.


A craftswoman making small clay terracotta warriors for sale in a big shop.


David, our guide in Xi'an and Beijing.


A girl outside the Xi'an wall, playing with the equivalent of a big yoyo.

Cooking.


Displaying knickknacks.


Two men in Haitan Ancient City.

Belle, our local guide for visits to the Summer Palace and the Lama Temple.

This three week trip to China was wonderful.  I'm back in Connecticut briefly before heading to Florida for the winter.  Photographs from Connecticut will be here tomorrow.

Jack, you are one of the best portrait photographers I know. This is a terrific post. I hope you find everything at your Florida home intact. Florida has been through a tough time, and that may continue for some time.

I did so enjoy these! Doing what you do the very best! Well, birds are in there as a competitor, but your people are the winner with me. Thanks!

The best type of photography. A good mix here.
