Chinatown Outing
Tentative itinerary/map for the May 29, 2010 Chinatown Outing:
There are a variety of photo subjects in Chinatown including old buildings, new architecture, market shots for close-ups of food items and the famous Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Gardens. An adept photographer will likely capture some human moments.
There will be time for lunch somewhere in Chinatown - TBD once the size of the group is known.
For the more adventurous (caution advised), the alleys behind the buildings on Pender, Carrall and Columbia streets are interesting as well as the storefronts. The main group will be following the map below, but you’re free to wander and meet up at checkpoints.
