Erik: <file_other> Another portion of my photo collection: week 17 in China. Enjoy!
Maggie: Fantastic pics!
Paul: Incredible shots, Erik, you're doing an amazing job of capturing the everyday life around you.
Erik: It gives me much pleasure and I don't think there's anyone documenting their transitional phase.
Paul: You're making great use of the spectacle that surrounds you.
Charles: Clearly the notion of normality is arbitrary :O crazy good pics though
Dick: Great shots! The land of the free! I don't think you would be allowed to take pics of other folk's kids here...
Justine: I don't know why I get the idea that you're treating your photo subjects a little too much like objects... Every country deserves respect and I don't see we Europeans tend to treat them like zoo animals and document their everyday activities like some sort of National Geographic bit on monkeys...
Erik: Justine, believe me, this definitely not the case for me. I am merely trying to document the vibrant culture and yes, it sometimes seems bizarre to me but never in a derogatory way. I really don't see any disrespect in my photos.
Justine: That sounds like a typical capitalist attitude to me. And you give a nice, round answer there but there's always that underlying notion of superiority Europeans tend to exhibit towards Asians.
Dick: Erik, you really seem to have inadvertently opened a can of worms here ;) There are obvious differences between our cultures and I don't think that you're being offensive by taking pictures.
Justine: Seems to me there are better way of helping the locals progress than taking pictures of innocent bystanders in their daily struggles.
Maggie: I love how someone had throw in some unhealthy political comments into such an innocent conversation! Can't we just enjoy the pictures?
Justine: Maybe some of you can just turn a blind eye to social injustice everywhere but I am just too sensitive to walk by without a word.
Dick: I think you are definitely using your "sensitivity in the wrong way. Just my opinion. 
Erik has been to China, where he took many photos documenting the life of the country and its people.
