ADM Videoblog #213 — “Creating Problems Where There Are None”

ADM Videoblog #205 — “Going Back to Basics — China Reading with Carl Crow”
Believe it or not, I hadn’t touched them for almost all of 2010 (the legacy of a failed relationship and the associations between that and my China work), so I’m delighted as all get-out to be returning to Carl Crow’s 1930s-era classic Foreign Devils in the Flowery Kingdom (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/9889963337?ie=UTF8&tag=adadanmez-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=9889963337).

(credit: Sue Anne Tay)
It’s not often one stumbles – yes, stumbles — across a shooter who possesses not only a meticulous eye for the ever-changing external world, but who can also cop to a knack for weaving sentences together into eloquent “word pictures.” I present Sue Anne Tay – my lordie, she is indeed that kind of photographer, ladies and gentlemen.
Her Sue Anne-ness ships her art regularly at a piece of online real estate called Shanghai Street Stories, a site we’ve kvelled about previously here and here. I strongly encourage you to head on over there for a burrow around before forging ahead with this post. Go on and get a feel for Sue Anne’s 31 Flavors before you come back. And take your time.

Allen’s Chocolate Fortunes: The Battle for the Hearts, Minds, and Wallets of China’s Consumers, this was a particularly sweet suggestion and many thanks to Dan Harris of Harris & Moure Law, the perennial award-winning blogmeister and commentator at China Law Blog, or as we Generation Xers like to call it, CLB.
