Our very first international safari, and we chose to go to Sichuan province in China with 12 photographers and friends. Our destinations were Songpan, Jiuzhigou Nature Park, Huanglong Park, ZuErKai, and the elusive Langmusi in nearby Gansu province. There were lots to shoot over those 8 days, but after a while we inevitably started pointing our cameras at each other, framed in the beauty of the Chinese landscapes around us. We learned a lot about China and each other. What a blast. Enjoy.

 Everyone has their own style... |
 Timmy at the GanSea Marsh at dawn... |
 I bet Timmy saw some pretty girls on the other side of the lake... |
 Huanglong Nature Park was a challenging trek. |
 Nona amazed at those carrying 100 kgs of wood up the mountain. |
 On top of Huanglong Nature Park, we braved rain clouds that dropped light snow... |
 While everyone was shooting, Raul was looking for inspiration... |
 At the highest point in Jiuzhaigou, nearly 4,000 meters, we are tipsy! |
 It's a long way down but Jun is surefooted. |
 Arnel took lots of pictures, but never showed me much, I think he is hiding his obras! |
 At the monastery, a group shot to end the day. |
 A secret tip learned by watching the best at work, cross your legs and your shots will improve. |
 We promised to send the monks some photos, Alex is getting their mailing address. |
 Pablo sharing a glimpse. |
 The long and winding road... hey what's ArnelM doing in my frame? |
 Somewhere in ZuErKai, i.e., in the middle of nowhere... |

 Shooting under a flurry... of light snow |
 Arnel photographs a religious man |
 The color costumes were irresistable |
 Showing them their pictures encouraged others to pose for us |
 Photographers at work |
 Watch the master at work... first he shoots... |
 ...then he shows them their pictures... |
 Soon everyone wants their photos taken...! |
 And all our cameras were put to good use. |
 Chimping away... |
 After a while, they got tired posing |
