I ♥ Fuji 100x & Subways of Shanghai
Over my past five years in Shanghai one of the places that I’ve consistently been drawn to photograph is the subway. With its current length stretching over 400Km, and 11 lines to choose from, there isn’t a corner of Shanghai which can go unexplored.
What brings me onto the topic of subways is my recent purchase of the the Fuji 100x. While you may argue that I’m just falling for Loaded magazines line “the thinking man’s camera” (actually listed on the x100 site) and the retro design, it was the title of Chase Jarvis’ book “The best camera is the one that’s with you” which helped me decide.
I have gotten out of the habit of carrying my DSLR around town, it was just too cumbersome. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater, I also stopped taking photos as I walked around. Well: No longer. I’m happy to present the first photo in what will soon be expanding into a broader essay of the Shanghai subway, and the stories that unfold there.

Back from Tibet
Tibet is a great place to travel to, and Lhasa is one of my favourite cities to relax in, although it’s always nice to get back home to Shanghai. Below are a few shots from the trip.

Back in Lhasa
It’s been a year since I was last in Lhasa on the Middle Kingdom Ride, and the city is still as spectacular as it was then. This time I’m hear shooting at the St. Regis hotel for Hostetler / Zhang / Studer , an American landscape architecture firm. I’ve extended my stay for a day so I can head to the Sera Monastery and photograph the monk debates. The debates take place every afternoon at 3pm, and, in my opinion, are one of the “must see’s” in Lhasa. You can expect to see photos from the monastery soon.
In the meantime I’d like to share a map of my favourite photo locations in Lhasa with you. I’ll be updating it with more locations as soon as I get back to Shanghai.
The photo below was taken at my favourite Potala Palace viewpoint (which is the only one on the map at this point – 09.25.11)
That’s all for now. Check back soon for more photos of Lhasa and the Sera Monastery.
