China Daily Life #1
Jiuquan, China
2016

I suppose my Chinese friends would think some of this collection of “daily life” images mundane, or at least uninteresting as it simply shows folks going about their routine daily activities. But to an American it can look quite new and different.

I suspect the Chinese feel the same way about what they encounter when visiting over here–which would certainly explain why I see so many Chinese tourists pointing their cameras in seemingly uninteresting directions. Of course as with Americans, some of the Chinese insist on featuring themselves in an unending stream of selfies in front of random locations. That takes the travel photography product to a whole new level of mundanity, or worse.
