However, that concert was cancelled for some reason and Pepsi had promoted a contest to win tickets to MJ in HK. So Pepsi, very respectably, decided to fly the winners to Taipei. I think there were about 150 people. I was going along as part of FM Select radio. I was also known as a pretty good photographer so the large size glossy magazine called “B” asked me to take some pictures of his concert. I joined photographers who had come from around the world. When Michael appeared I found myself so close that my elbows were on the stage and he was just a few feet away. I had to back up to get a good shot! That concert was..well…one of the best I had ever attended. And being that close to the stage with my camera made me feel like I was caputuring just a quick reflection of one of the best talents the world has ever known! RIP

How are you guys doing? It is just after the Chinese New Year and things are getting back to normal. I spent the Spring Festival doing local things: visiting places around Beijing, eating dumplings, playing with fireworks, hanging out with friends, etc. Tried to flow with the festivities. Now it is back to life in Beijing. Finally got a China driver’s license, and spent a lot of time over the holiday driving around the Beijing area. Attached are some pictures from the past few weeks…wish you more JOY in your life!

Outside in the cold sometimes and then back indoors for warm coffee…I still wake up before the sun, a habit I have had for years. Don’t want to miss a minute of the day! Some people think this is crazy! Here’s my view from my living room as the sun rises over Wangfujing!!!
