Shanghai... my version of it



spent the last few days walking through the older parts of Shanghai. 

you know, it's kinda weird. people talk about the new shopping complexes there. the new financial district's office buildings. the Bund. the night lights. 

link to google's search on Shanghai photos.

and yet, the old scenes are so much more interesting. so much more potent when it comes to telling stories of the place. 


residents hanging their clothes on the power and telephone lines.


old residential areas.


man busking along the underground tunnel. his face is, apparently, an after-effect from a fire burn.



old lady picking rubbish along the streets... on a 10-degree day. with no gloves.
