The problem now is that I feel like I cannot move forward with any photo editing because there is too much to learn and I know NOTHING. I thought I knew more before I bought this book. And Andy is sick on the couch with a nasty head cold so I don’t want to bug him with questions.

Last night we went to a social evening for the Shanghai Boat and Yacht Club. As always, we had a lot of interesting conversations with people doing fascinating jobs in China. One guy, Jordi, works for a supplier for automotive parts. He mentioned that he went to an auto show in Beijing last week where literally 18 out of the 20 Chinese cars on display were almost direct copies of foreign cars. He joked that the game was “name that original” and then figure out the slight modifications that had been made for the Chinese version. So much for intellectual property!
