The Dirt Market

I have been in a funk photo wise. I just have been so busy with work and the kids that I haven't allowed myself anywhere near my photos. My self imposed exile is over.

There is this amazing place called the Dirt Market - it actually isn't on dirt, but I think it used to be. You can buy all sorts of cultural artifacts and a lot of cultural revolution memorabilia. I love this place and often go there just to escape. These are a few that I have edited.

LOVE love the lanterns! What a great shot--the color, the sizes, the shapes... And the shot of Mao juxtaposed with the smiling Buddha is just oo cool.

I'm so glad you're back! I love that last photo with the bikes! Even if you're in a photo funk, just show us old photos, because it's such an interesting view into another world.

I love getting a glimpse into other cultures through you. Those color shots are so vibrant.
