Stuck in Customs' photostream  

I returned here a second time with Scott Kublin to show him my little discovery. We didn’t have much time… and I don’t like to be rushed… but we did our best to move quickly around this area and squeeze in as many shots as we could! This is one of my favorites, a view down one of the long rows of unusual columns and vaulted ceilings…

When I was walking through this forest, we had a photowalk-of-sorts going on with a ton of people going here and there. It was sort of Ewok-like with all the activity. We’d all have to ask one another to hide behind trees and duck out of the way, since we were all criss-crossing our shots this way and that. Often times, the shot I really wanted to get required me to clamber up and over big fallen trees. There’s not really a graceful way to do this. No matter how many times I do it, I continually look like I’m just barely keeping it together…

It was a wet, humid, but cool night when I was walking through Feng Huang. It was one of those nights where you are not sure if you want to wear a sweatshirt or just something light. Wearing something heavy holds the threat of getting moist and making you more uncomfortable… wearing something light holds the threat of keeping you too cold.

I saw this lady selling flowers on the side of the road.

While I walked along one of the many little streams that flowed through the village, restaurants, cafes, shops, and homes lined the sides. Each one was decorated a little bit differently with unique lanterns, fauna, decor, windows, furniture, and flowers. You could stop almost anywhere to take a photo! So, well, I did.

Switching lenses is still a bit of a pain. The two lenses I used the most there were the 14-24 and the 28-300. But many shots were kind of right around that 20-35mm zone, which menat I was never really sure of which lens to use… so I would end up swapping back and forth a lot until it felt right!

Before I started going to the main location, Tom and I pulled over to the side of the road in Sausalito to get this picture. The water was too blue and the colors were too interesting to drive on by! We wanted to be quick though… so we didn’t miss the sun peaking over the horizon at the main location.
