This newsletter and the TravelersBlog came about as an effort to record my immersion into Chinese culture and to inform viewers and readers in the west [US] about everyday life in an average city in China.

My life is about telling the story of the people I surround myself with and the environment I put myself in. I do this through imagery; be it documentary photography, portrait photography, or destination photography. I photograph the people, places and things in the world and share them with you.

This newsletter is just a way to deliver the stories and the images to you. I hope you enjoy it and I hope you can visit other areas of the toutoude.com website. Thanks and take care!
