That's about all they know over here. Oh well. <br /><br />The frustrating part about being a photographer is that you're never in any of the pictures. I have more pictures of the KIDS, but no more of me with them. I realized I will probably return to the U.S. with 3 or 4 pictures of myself in China, haha...but at least I will have many of China.Brent Pinkallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09970718328441947486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528556853919078832.post-19447638459304139722010-04-14T13:37:00.371-07:002010-04-14T13:37:00.371-07:00Wow.

There are probably very few people alive today that probably get to experience something like being the first foreigner a child meets. Does that make sense? Probably like what the first settlers and Native Americans went through (although they had never really heard about each other before). We are so used to being around others of different ethnicity and don't think twice about it.<br /><br />Thinking of a song on the spot is super hard too. I don't blame you for being a little nervous. When you said you couldn't think of one, I thought "WHAT?!?! There are millions of pop songs." However, the first song to come into my head was Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" which would not have been the best choice. Plus, like you said, you don't listen to pop music so that makes sense too. <br /><br />Great pictures, by the way. Too bad you couldn't get more pictures with the kids. They looked like they were having fun being around you guys.Dusti Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03609681899127289872noreply@blogger.com
