Shanghai Night Market

On the Shanghai streets I walked for hours as day turned into night when I came across this wonderful scene of people selling fruits, vegetables, meat and rice. One long street of local commerce supporting a local community of vendors as neighborhood residents shop along the market street.


 


After making my way from one end of the market street to the other, it began to pour down rain. Most of the market closed down as people scattered for cover including myself.

Girls on Phones
After reviewing many photos taken from photo walks around Hong Kong and Osaka, I noticed that many contained shots of girls on phones. Walking and looking at your phone is actually a dangerous activity if your not paying attention to your surroundings. The girls in these photos are fortunately being safe with their phone activities. I hope to explore this subject more knowing it's easy to find all over the world any day of the week.

Photo Story: Commuter

I was standing out at the entrance of Tanimachi 4 subway shooting photos with my iPod 4 when I witnessed this event:

The man enters from the left as a normal commuter going into the subway.

He then stops.

He changes his mind to not go into the subway.

Then changes his mind again turning quickly to go back into the subway.

He disappears as the young student appears.

Another man stops briefly to make the same decision.

This is a nice little life narrative that unfolded in front of my eyes. It was unexpected, so I was happy to have been there to document this moment.
