Children's Art Exhabition in GDMOA
 

I went to see the Exhabition in Guangdong Museum of Art today. It was a big pity that my DC battery power was off. Or I could take more pix.

1=Drawing on Electric Bulb
2=Lamp designed by Children

Ah ha, MBAs, so China is positioning itself to destroy it's industry and businesses. :lol:

Interesting museum, Billy. :thumbsup:

It may be my morbid streak, but is that a *skull* in the first piece, 'The Electric Bulb'? As for the second...the white 'Lamp' looks suspiciously like a commode.

(I don't think I've ever been so glad that Freud is no longer alive) ;)

Was the second Beer Bottle picture taken while your battery was dying, or was that a really cool-looking PhotoShop effect?

I love all of these pics you've sent in this last group (and in the others) They are so colorful, like the lamps (excluding the toilet-looking one), and the light, and I certainly never would have expected to see painted beer bottles. Too bad you weren't able to get a close-up, but since you got that cool motion trail, I'm happy. :)

I think my favorites so far have been the eldery woman in the painting, dressed in delicate shades of pinks and greens, with nothing to do but await her death. My other favorites I can't narrow down between the statues...they are everywhere, and in a LOT better shape than any that are here in the US, and the ones in the US, sadly enough, are newer. :(

Man of Straw

The beer bottle picture's bad effect was made by my DC.

Pottery and Rag Dolls

Rag dolls

Cartoon

Bottom right looks like two skull and crossbones to me. :thumbsup:
Billy, it that rice straw they were using?

Could be this. Looks kinda like a skull to me.

Too much neck. More like a ghost or earless panda. :biggrin:

Sure.

Bride

The drawing was made by a famous Chinese artist in China. I like it very much because it shows the tradditional Chinese men's characters.

Is that a photograph of the original drawing or the drawing itself under glass?
It's a really cool drawing. :)

Billy, I just discovered this thread. Thank you very much for sharing your pictures with us - please post more.
Do you live in Shengjen? I have a friend who was there recently for a few months teaching English to schoolchildren.

Thank you. I think this drawing is a photograph of the original drawing. It is just a background for the pottery.

I will try to post more if you like.
Did you mean that your friend was working in Shenzhen?You can let him contact me if he works there and need any help. Hope him to have a good work time here.

My friend is back home in Scotland now, but she was living and teaching in Shenzhen earlier this year. She enjoyed the experience very much.

HK trip
 

I went to HK on 2, Jan. I took some photos in the Koolown.

Chow Yun Fat
Jet Li

Any reason Chow Yun Fat didn't want to put a handprint in his star?

I don't know. I think he will do it soon. He did not recently casted good movie in the USA.

Yeah, that was the skull I was seeing. It reminds me of a "Day of the Dead/Dia del Muerte" skull. I don't see the skull and crossbones unless I try.

Movie making

Director's Chair

Billy, these are fantastic images but (and) I am just as interested in more everyday things like peoples homes, gardens, the back streets, corner shops ... if it's not too intrusive. Please. Anyway, keep on posting - it's a privilege to see China and Hong Kong through your camera. Thank you.

Yeah, good job Billy. Was that a tribute to the movie makers/business?
You should have had someone take a wide shot of you sitting the directors chair with all the statues in it. :biggrin:

Sorry, last time I had little time in HK, so I just stayed in Koolow. I will try to take what you want next time.

I took some photos there but I didnot post them here. I thought you didn't like see a ugly guy. :p

Ahh the memories :)

One Lane in Tai Po Market

The streets are very clean for a market district. :)

One public forum.

One big small restaurant zone. There are many small restaurants in one food market of the community. The food is cheap so the people often have food there. I had Japanese noodles for lunch there.

China Landscape Calendar
 

I don't know if I should post these good calendars becasue they are not made by me. I will not post the rest if you don't like. I can send to your email if anyone wants to get the big pix.

Sunset from my front yard
 

Hi Everyone,
I thought this was beautiful and wanted you guys to see the sunset from my front yard.

Great sunset, Undone! :thumbsup:

Hey Billy, one of your pictures was featured on the Earth Science Picture of the Day web site today! :thumbsup:

Thanks. The Central is often featured in the media. Welcome you to visit it one day.

Beijing Road, Guangzhou, China
 

BJ Road is the big business center in Guangzhou. There are lots of costume stores, bookshops, restaurants and other stores. In reconstruction in 2002, the people dug up one buildings foundations more than 1000 years old, which is covered by thick glass, so I cant take the clear photos.

Lotus Palace Lantern. The Chinese New Year is coming, so many stores are decorated with Chinese style things.

Red Gate

I don't know when I can have my kids.

Fortune Boat There are many fortune symbolizations on the boat.

Mammon
Old Golden Money I don't know its English name.

Fortune fortune fortune

I like the last KID very much. He is very lovely. The pix are not so clear after edit. can ask me for the original photos.

Fastigium in the Foshan Ancestor Temple.

Billy, thank you for yet more great pictures.
When you say "I don't know when I can have my kids." what do you mean?

I think he means he has to meet a girl and get married first and he doesn't know when that will happen. :)

Hey Billy, Happy New Year! :thumbsup:

Doesn't the Chinese government still control when and how many children a couple can have?
