Photowalk – Chengdu

[Julian09]

Tried meeting up with you guys, but was surprised with hundreds of police at Tianfu Square. That delayed my arrival at the designated spot and then, like has been said here, that wasn’t a place to hang around. I had a good time wandering around anyway and taking some shots, but would have been interested to see where you were going and meeting people. I don’t have anything fancy for a camera, but it’s given me some good results. Are you posting your next outing here? Schedule permitting, I’d like to join.

While I was at Tianfu Square area, I asked a shop owner there about all the police. He said there was rumored to be a labor protest and the police were there to well, supervise it or whatever you call that.

@ Julian09 – The police seemed to be under the impression that their turnout was intended to discourage would be protestors of the petrochemical development to the north of the city.

If you want to stay in touch with what the Chengdu Photography Club’s activities are then sign up on their Yahoo site – see the first post in this thread. The only reason to post on Chengduliving is to promote the Club’s existence and I cannot guarantee that that will happen every month. If you sign up as a member then you will see that there have been emails sent to all members, the contents of which have not been posted on this site.

Thanks, Merior. I’ll check it out.
