This is currently one of my  favourite images and represents life in the suburbs of Shanghai.  There has been frantic construction going on for several years now to place Shanghai in the best infrastructure position possible.  The domestic Hong Qiao Airport recently opened a brand new terminal and this happened in conjunction with a new metro link, new high speed rail link and new elevated expressways going just about everywhere!

This is one of the roads yet to be finished.  One of the locals told me that next year it would link to another stretch of elevated road, and then he pointed to a similar piece of road in the far distance also hanging in space and disconnected!

The family appearing in this image is a happy accident - they just happened into the frame at the right moment and for me the little girls’ expression is just perfect!

This and similar images can be seen in my main portfolio under both the recent work section and the editorial section on Building China.
