You come to Beijing expecting palaces.
Red walls.
Ancient roofs.
History.
Dad noticed something else.
Look Through the Leaves
There they were.
Colour against that long red wall.
Dad stopped.
Click.
And kept walking.
Then Dad Saw This
A little girl.
All dressed up.
Posing beside the water.
And not one…
but two photographers. 😂
Click.
Dad began noticing these photo moments everywhere.
And Then Elaine Met One
Later…
Elaine needed directions.
A finger points at the map.
Elaine listens.
Dad watches.
And suddenly the beautiful clothes aren’t just something in Dad’s photographs.
They’re standing right beside us.
Click.
Would Dad Try It?
Why not? 😂
Dress up.
Find one of those unmistakably Beijing backgrounds.
Take the photographs home.
Or just do what Dad did…
stop and look.
Because when you’re visiting Beijing, sometimes the people around the famous places become part of the experience too.

DAD SAYS GO! →
Go see the Forbidden City.
Go see the walls.
Go see the history.
But every now and then…
turn around.
Look at the people.
Look at what they’re doing.
You might find yourself thinking…
I want a photo like that too. 😂
