Hi Kathleen and others,

Many film processors will scan your photos and put them on cd for you. There's an additional cost, but it certainly saves time and trouble. Alternatively, you can wait for your prints and then decide which to scan. Some processors will even post your pictures online for you to download and to share with friends. Until this summer, I did this. The company I used is called http://www.photoworks.com. They're pretty good and have been around for a long time. I started using them years ago primarily because they specialized in producing slides and prints from a single roll of film. Many other film processors offer similar services.

We'll extend the second photo submission deadline to 8/14 and the third deadline to 9/14.

This was one of the highlights from my trip to Huang Shan (the Yellow Mountain).

After climbing a thousand meters through the Grand Canyon of the Western Sea, I finally reached the Buxian (Walking Heavenly Immortal) Bridge. Though I do not know how they did it, the Chinese built this bridge in 1987 at an elevation of over 1300 meters, or 4300 feet. I decided to cross it -- even though I am not quite immortal yet -- and cautiously crept to the best vantage point showing the two huge rock faces squeezing the bridge, as well as the canyon behind it. Sadly to say, my little digital camera cannot adequately capture the shock of this vertical drop and the beauty of the sights below. I guess one can only experience that in person; so if you ever go to Huang Shan, make sure you find this bridge.

This photo depicts the sharp contrast between the traditional Shanghai and the modern Shanghai. It is the visual evidence of all the readings about the transition that Shanghai is undergoing. The cowering hovel-like buildings are overshadowed by surrounding, unmatchable towers. Five years from now, will these brown buildings be memories of foregone times?
This picture was taken July 3, 2004 by Zhongshan Park Station, which is in A Changing Shanghai (the book that Miranda wrapped for us) on p. 8.

This picture was taken at People's Square, Ren Ming Guang Chang, after our visit to the Shanghai Museum. It's an ad that says, "Doctor's advice for the health of yourself and others, don't spit everywhere." People in China really do spit everywhere, on the floor, in trash cans, on the sidewalk, and on statues. Everytime I hear something that sounds like someone clearing their throat, I cringe.

I took this photo on the street by the bank behind the “Yellow Restaurant.” On this street, this vendor and his wife made a pan-fried bread with onions or stuffed with another type green vegetable that looks like chives. The dough and vegetables are fried on a round griddle on a portable stove shaped like a trashcan. After much persistence, the vendor let me take a picture but didn’t want his face in it.

The friendliest people in Shanghai! The people at the countryside we visited were the nicest people; they let us go through their houses, take pictures, try out their workout equipment, and use their bathrooms. They were fascinated by our digital cameras, enjoyed having their pictures taken, and waved goodbye. Here’s an elderly woman taking a stroll, using an umbrella to block out the sun.

“Don’t take a picture! You’re not allowed to take a picture!” So what did I do? I took a picture because other people did! This picture was taken in a plastic bag factory. The conditions weren’t as bad as those in Anita Chen’s reading, but of course, working in a factory like this is not a dream job. Tasks are monotonous, the wooden stools look painful, the workers are young, and it didn’t seem like communication or even eye contact was allowed.

Photo Contest, Entry 6

The countryside again! These shirtless men enjoy some time off with a few games of mahjong. Two rooms in the recreation area house these mahjong-playing groups. Look at those muscles!
