If you're in Shanghai, be sure to pick up a copy of the July issue of That's Shanghai. They've just published a generous edit of my series on China's crowded railways. Big thanks are due to Chad Ingraham, a talented photographer in Shanghai who got me in touch with That's Shanghai, and JFK Miller, photo editor at That's Shanghai who pushed to get 4 pages and a decent fee for the usage. Look for more of my work in That's Shanghai in the coming months, too!

A small selection of my essay on New York City fursuiters was recently published in China's Vision magazine in the May 2010 issue.

I got a call in the middle of the night in January, two days before a trip to Xinjiang in far western China. I was surprised to hear the voice of a friendly Wall Street Journal photo editor asking if I'd be able to photograph high-fashion brand MCM's first store in China for a story about the brand's resurgence under new ownership. The billionaire owner would be there, as well as members of Shanghai's rich and famous. Not exactly my scene, but I'm always excited to see something new and different. The shoot was a long day in a single room, but it was an enjoyable challenge. I finally got a chance to see how they used the photos; I so rarely see my photos anywhere but on a computer screen, so it was especially exciting to get a copy of the paper. Big thanks go to the MCM team for being so friendly and helpful, and the editors of the Wall Street Journal for giving my photos some great play and for calling me in the first place.

I had a pleasant call one night while in far western China a few weeks ago. Time Asia was interested in one of my images from Small Concrete Boxes to illustrate a story about tigers in China as the Year of the Tiger got under way. After hearing about it from a few friends, I've gotten the tearsheet in the mail. You can see the story at Time.com.

Glad to see that my story on fursuiters in New York City has been published by Epsilon Magazine in Greece. The magazine took some liberties with the images, by applying a strange graphic trick without consulting me or my agency. Not too happy about that, but happy to see the story get out there, nonetheless.
