Walking around in Chinatown, there are so many different colors, they sell all kinds of interesting looking stuff
I could eat Chinese food everyday, that is how much I like it (which I actually did when I worked very close to Chinatown)
I made this photo because of all the colorful candy in front of the store, at the time I had no idea that the lady inside was eyeing me, haha. (I only saw that when I came home)

    At Chinatown here in San Francisco the shop owners get in a real tiff...no, downright angry and mad if they catch you taking pictures of their storefronts. Just increases all the fun. You are right, what an array of colors. Very nice.

      I am actually always a little hesitant to make such photos, don't know why I did do it this time. Maybe this lady was already on her way to start screaming at me.
      Well, when I do visit SF again, I will keep your advice in mind! :-)

    I love the lady eyeballing you, it adds to the photo, great colours & very interesting shot.

    I was wondering Nellies if she had one eye on you (prob thinks you're a shop-spy of sorts) but I reckon she has the other eye firmly on those boys who are eyeing off her colourful candy!! What temptation!!

    Yes she is watching you, makes the photo even better. What a colourful storefront!

    I think you're getting the evil eye Nellies.

    The shopkeepers put up a fuss but it makes no sense. Many of these shops survive on the business from tourists.

    I travelled in China for a month or so in 1986. I do not recall people getting upset with me pointing my camera in their direction. I just remember people smiling and mugging for the camera. I know some cultures don't like cameras (soul stealing) but this fuss in North America is silly.
