China: The Greatest Hits


About two years ago, in the midst of moving from Beijing to Singapore, I sorted through my thousands of China photographs and narrowed down the list to about 60 favorites. Almost all of these have appeared on this site at one point over the past four years, but not all together in one big, happy package like this. China was full of a never-ending stream of photo opportunities, from my home in Beijing to trips to the far reaches of the country (which was always incredibly fun and exciting, but which just may be the site of some of the yuckiest public toilets in history. Never mind, let's not go there.)

I hope to do a Southeast Asia Greatest Hits collection from my time in Singapore but there are even more photographs to sort through from those two years, which is kind of incredibly daunting. Give me about nine rainy Saturdays to finish up. In the meantime, hope you enjoy.

About me

    Well, hello there. You've reached the photoblog of Betsy, who has not actually lived in China for some time. The site name is not a total lie: She did live in Beijing from 2003-2005, but then moved to Singapore from 2006-2007. In late 2007, she returned home to the U.S., where she plans to continue posting pictures of her travels around the States and frequent trips back to Asia, and asks you all to just kindly accept the incorrect name of this site for just a little while longer. If you're crazy for Asia pictures, there are lots and lots of archives below that will surely satisfy that itch.

    I also keep a fashion blog, if that's the kind of thing that interests you.

    Want more? Go ahead and send me a note. I love mail!

About my cameras

    Most of the pictures on this site have been taken with various versions of the Canon Elph (Ixus in Asia), most recently the Canon Elph SD400, which I purchased in late 2005. In early 2007, I also began using a Nikon D80 SLR camera with an 18-200mm kit lens and, more recently, a 52mm lens.
