Looking down on the second tallest building in Shanghai from the tallest building and wondering who’s holding the ropes!
Sunny Days in Hangzhou, China :: July 2009
Just a sunny day in Hangzhou, China. It’s not often that I take this type of image, I particularly like the sky in this one.
An evening in Hong Kong :: July 2009
Back to one of my favourite themes - night shots! This is part of the financial district of Hong Kong and shows the Bank of China building (left), next to the ICBC and Citibank Buildings. Can’t remember the name of the building to the far right, any ideas?? Taken in July, 2009.

Darkness fell across parts of China and India this morning as a total solar eclipse passed across the world’s most populous countries, bringing throngs of people outside to watch the phenomenon.
Total eclipses occur about twice a year as the moon passes between the Earth and the sun on the [...]
The Usual Chaos on the streets in Shanghai
A normal day of chaos on the streets in Shanghai. Yes there are traffic lights, but sometimes you would never believe it!
Fishing Village Man
Fishing Village is a place made famous by Bill Clinton when he visited this remote village just off the Li River in Guangxi Province in South West China. Fishing Village is one of those places only accessable by boat. Most of the residents are camera shy. However, this guy was willing to pose and I [...]
Women of Moon Hill IV
These helpful ladies will kindly sell you postcards, water, cola and beer on your journey from the roadside to the top of Moon Hill. It’s only an hours walk, but in the Guangxi summer heat, it get’s pretty hot up there! These ladies will also lend a hand in pointing you in the right direction.
Women of Moon Hill III
These ladies must range in age from 40’s to over 70. They easily walk up and down Moon Hill several times a day following tourists and hoping for a quick sale. Mind you, they can’t be making much money from the odd sale of over prices water at 3 rmb!
Women of Moon Hill II
We thought we had enough water, but we were quite happy to buy another two and a couple cans of coke at the top. Prices were no different than a local Family Mart (at least after a little haggling!).
Women of Moon Hill I
These next 4 images are of the women who follow you up and down your walk at Moon Hill just outside Yangshuo in the Guangxi Province of SW China. They carry a small selection of cold drinks in a small insulated boxes as well as postcards. Apart from the fact that it’s hard to shift [...]
Old and New Shanghai
I’ve been messing about with this image of old Shanghai (around Yuyuan) with the background of new Shanghai (Lujiazui). I definitely like it in black and white, but I’m having some difficulty getting the tones to my liking. Image taken in October 2008. Any suggestions?
One Head
Last in a series of thee images of the sculptures in the World Financial Centre which leads to the Park Hyatt Hotel on the 37th floor.
Three Heads
Taken in the World Financial Centre in Shanghai. These heads are amazing pieces of work. Very smooth and happy.
Three Smiling Faces
These three guys live outside the elevators to the Park Hyatt located in Shanghai’s World Financial Centre. Happy smiling faces they are too!
Cleaning China

Keeping Cool in China
I thought this looked like an interesting couple! Taken in Qibao, Shanghai during the summer of 2009.
