"Inspired" by last night's talks at PLATFORM, I have decided to put together a series of shots I took a while back in Shanghai.
These shots were mainly taken in the old quarters of Shanghai on the Puxi side of the city. Old buildings are a quickly disappearing sight in this fast growing and developing city. In these streets, you feel that time has stopped. There, people still cook outside, do their business in the streets, they still know each others and help each others whereas 200 metres away, on the other side of the Huangpu river you find yourself in the ultra high-tech business district of Pudong where deals are done and people from everywhere in the world work in air-conditioned offices. Shanghai is such an interesting and vibrant city full of contrasts and friendly people.
Shot with Leica M6TTL, Zeiss C-Sonnar 50mm f/1.5 and Leica Summicron 35mm f2 ASPH. Film: Kodak Tmax 400 and Kodak BW400 CN. Processed by Digital Force lab in Hong Kong and scanned by myself with Epson v700.
Here is what I came back with.
