Tearsheet: Fader #61
May 19, 2009
Fader #61 May/June 2009 - from Todo El Mundo fashion feature pp. 96-97
There’s a new tearsheet on my portfolio site, this one from Fader #61 (the whole issue is available as a downloadable pdf, as well). I’m honored to be among the other great photographers involved in the shoot: Gabriele Stabile, Dominic Nahr, G.M.B. Akash, and Christopher Anderson. There’s a short story on the Fader website about how the shoot was put together behind the scenes, as well. The shoot, now a couple months ago, was a blast for my first foray into fashion.
On the road: back to Shanghai
April 9, 2009
I'll be back in Shanghai and northern Zhejiang Province Saturday through Tuesday. Above are a couple of pictures from the last quick visit to the city. Likely no email access for the duration. Phone: +86-13770324102 or (347) 284-6825 (US number that forwards to China).
On the road again: Beijing
April 3, 2009
Heading to Beijing tonight for a short trip. Will return early next week. Mobile number, in the meantime, is +86-13770324102 or +1 (347) 284-6825 (US number that forwards to my Chinese cell phone). I hope to build upon my previous work from Beijing, growing to encompass nearby Great Wall sites and Beijingers' interpretations of rural culture through the ethnic minority amusement park and the new Tibet museum, which opened last weekend on what is now called "Serf Emancipation Day."
On the road: Ningbo and Shanghai
March 27, 2009
I'll be in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, and Shanghai, this weekend and into the beginning of next week. Mobile number: +86-13770324102.
Recent work: Kunming’s Streets
March 26, 2009
Travelers walk past a large bull sculpture outside the Kunming Railway Station in Kunming, Yunnan Province, China.
I’ve uploaded a small edit of work documenting urban Kunming, Yunnan Province, China, capital of the country’s most culturally and ecologically diverse province. The streets are teeming with activity and development, but at what cost to the province’s main asset? The beauty and pristine nature of Yunnan’s hinterlands are a driving force to tourism and agriculture, the province’s main economic drivers. As the city pushes to compete against other more industrialized cities in the domestic and global marketplace, and as its population increases consumption, the blue skies may not survive for very long.
