Ni xiang qu Beijing ma? I am SOOOO excited to announce that the Raddest Photo Trip Ever is headed to… CHINA!!!!!
China is Lindsay’s favorite country in the whole world and Beijing is my favorite city — so I think it’s safe to say that we just love China to bits! The food, the people, the landscapes… there’s just something very special about China. I mean, come on — it’s the land of the Great Wall! I honestly couldn’t think of a better place to take a group of photographers. So here’s the details…
*When: April 25th through May 3rd, 2010.
*Where: Beijing
*Why: Two reasons…
You want to get better at photography or the business of photography by asking me whatever the heck you want the entire time and being around a ton of other photographers. We all learn from each other :)
You have nothing to learn from me but you want to have an amazing vacation with other photographers that you can write-off. Please note, you do NOT have do be a pro photographer for these trips. You can own a point and shoot and you’re more than welcome to come ;)
*Costs: $2500 (land option) and $3700 (airfare option from LAX). There’s a $2300 (land option) discount for couples that book together.
*Included is lodging, lunch and dinner, all activities and entrance fees (besides leisure time).
*Not included is Chinese Visa, shopping, whatever you do on leisure time, and food if you want to eat apart from the group (basically if you want a break from Chinese ;).
Itinerary:
DAY 1: Arrive on your evening flight. Dinner at an awesome hole in the wall restaurant.
DAY 2: Hike the old Great Wall. I’ve been to four of the Great Walls (there’s different ones) and this is hands down my favorite.
DAY 3: Temple of heaven in the morning. Awesome place for photos of people doing Tai Chi, playing hacky sack with locals, photos of the park grounds, etc.. Orphanage in the afternoon. Silk market at night (awesome shopping).
DAY 4: Summer Palace afternoon with the rest of the day at leisure.
DAY 5: Early morning sunrise at a park that overlooks the Forbidden City. Rad shots of that plus more tai chi (this early you’ll get to hear old people yelling at the top of their lungs). Afternoon Tiananmen Square and Forbidden city. Dinner at my favorite restaurant in the world — a deelish korean BBQ place.
DAY 6: Free day. Shop ’till you drop or visit another part of the Great Wall. Whatever you like :)
DAY 7: Orphanage and a Chinese acrobat show. These are pretty gnarly.
DAY 8: Fly home
I’ll only be taking 10 of us on this trip. So if you’re wanting to come, jump on it ASAP!!! $1500 retainer for the land option and $2200 retainer for air option gets you a seat on the Raddest Photo Trip Ever!!! Credit card and checks are accepted for deposits. Email me at info@bobbyearle.com and we’ll be eating with chopsticks in no time :)
Zaijian!

I’ll be doing at least one more RPTE for 2010 (hopefully two more :) so if you’re wanting to go and you haven’t signed up for more info, do so here! I have a feeling that they’re going to be sold out before I even announce them publicly from here on out so sign up to get a chance at a seat before the general public :) I should announce this one in the next week, or so — so start pinching your pennies together for the deposit!
The way it works is past RPTE attendants get first dibs, then people on the sign up list, then it goes on the blog. This one didn’t even make it to the people on the sign up list! Hope you get on the next one!!!
