Hutong Door :: Beijing
Some of the old traditional housing in this area has some wonderful architecture and whilst the buildings are often old, scruffy, dirty or just falling down, you also find this type of front door proudly standing.
Seen yesterday along QianMenXiHeYan Jie in Beijing :: July 2010
Number 284
Everything door related is fascinating me at the moment, the colours, textures, small variations in design, also the way the doors are looked after or neglected.
Entrances in Shanghai also have a standard numbering system using blue squares with the road name and number. These start to look interesting when they get old or are falling [...]
The Fish Market :: Jianguo Lu, Shanghai
This lady very happily allowed me to photograph her stall, fishes and all.
I know it looks so dirty inside and when you see the wooden blocks and all the blood it really puts some people off buying the fish. However, the fish is so fresh and there is such a variety of products, that really [...]
Buddhist Shrines V :: The montage
My final image for this series on buddhist shrines and this time it’s a montage of 9 images showing the variety of colours and styles of shrine along one road in the Chinatown area of Kuala Terengguna.
Kuala Terengguna, Malaysia :: April 2010.
Buddhist Shrines IV
This one is a little different to the others in this series. Instead of worshiping the god of the sky, this one is to worship the god of the land. It’s position is pretty strange too as it is at the side of the road, not obviously near any entrance and has a large road [...]
Buddhist Shrines III
Probably the most simple of all the shrines I saw in the Chinatown area. This one was full of incense and looked very effective against the large plain wall.
Kuala Terengguna, Malaysia :: April 2010.
Buddhist Shrines II
Bright and blue sets off this shrine in the Chinatown district of Kuala Terengguna. Some of these shrines must have been up for a long time to be so weathered and old looking. The message is usually the same though and this one talks about the god in the sky.
Kuala Terengguna, Malaysia :: April 2010.
Buddhist Shrines I
This week is going to be all about the buddhist shrines seen in the Chinatown area of Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia.
Just about every business has a shrine either fixed to the wall or nailed to a piece of wood near their entrance. Many of them are the same, some are more elaborate, some are very simple. [...]
Telephone Montage
Many phones, many colours and styles. I’m not sure what makes theses interesting to me, but it keeps me happy!
China Telephone
I’m putting together a montage of telephones from different places around the world and decided I really should include one from China. I found this previously unprocessed image in my achieve.
Zhujajio Water Village, near Shanghai :: October 2008
Box but no phone :-(
They still have the box here, but it looks like the phone disappeared a long time ago!
Singapore by Night
Singapore by night :: April 2010.
Got to say… it’s a pretty cool city/state/country!
Singapore Dwelling
One of the more original houses in Singapore.
Seem being restored in the central area :: April 2010.
Singapore Highway II
Second in a series of underpass pictures and in this case I’m pretty pleased with the position of the tree!
Also taken in Singapore and you can see a similar example tomorrow!!
April 2010.
Singapore Highway I
I guess I have a fascination for geometric patterns, interesting shapes, the night time and rich saturated colours. Pretty much all of these elements are present in this image and tomorrow’s image. My collection of underpasses and highways is beginning to form a body of work in it’s own write. I even thought I was [...]
Shanghai :: Dried Duck
Near Zhongshan Park at Anhua Lu. These dried ducks and other dried meat are all over Shanghai at the moment. I’m quite tempted to dry some!
Shanghai Morning :: On the way to work
It’s time for a break from the photos taken whilst I was living in Vancouver. Instead it’s back to Shanghai and some more recent images.
This first one was taken on my Canon G10 camera on the way to work out of the bus window. We have had some clear skies recently and I saw this [...]
Urban Vancouver II
I’m spending more time on reprocessing at the moment than anything else. Partly because I’m interested in how I now approach using Photoshop with images and partly to see how my preferences and taste have changed.
This is a residential building in Downtown Vancouver seen from the Burrard Bridge area.
Shot February 2008; reprocessed January 2010.
Vancouver :: Night time construction I
The preparation for being the host city for any Olympic Games is a massive commitment. During 2007/8 the city of Vancouver has been the home of incredible engineering projects, massive cranes and many disgruntled locals. Hopefully the hard work will pay off in the long run.
The next series of work is from a project looking [...]
Washing area outside the Blue Mosque in Istanbul
Taken in December 2009 at the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey.
Boats, Houses and the Skyline of Istanbul
An alternative view of Istanbul to the usual view of the old town. This is taken from the old town looking across the water.
