A new project beginning on February 1st!
It has been an amazing year full of wonderful experiences, learning and great new friends in photography and in life. As my project came to a close I realized slowly what the next step needs to be. A deepening into past experiences and a harvesting of those special times in a fresh new way through…

My project finally comes to its ending at the exact ending of the lunar year. With its end we moved into a new year, an auspicious year, the year of the Dragon!

Day Three Hundred Twenty Eight, December 16, 2011 (the post I forgot to publish)
As I got ready to post my final image of the project today, I realized that I missed posting the photo I took on December 16th! So before I end and to keep things tidy, here it is! Children looking at a graphic skyline, children who hold the future in their little hands, and the…

There are friendships that defy all odds because they were simply meant to be. Lea’s friendship with Laura is such a strong bond. Laura was born in Bangkok, and moved to China when she was less than 2. This is when her friendship with Lea started. They were inseparable even at that age and for…

Day Three Hundred Sixty One, January 18, 2012
Every city and every village in the world has it’s own ‘spirit’, it’s own ‘angel’ if you like. It is the essence of that place created by its people, its architecture, its frequencies and it is very clearly detectable if you tune yourself to it. With Shanghai, I feel that the spirit of this city…

Day Three Hundred Sixty, January 17, 2012
I used to live in New York City and always thought: too many people, too little space, overcrowded, claustrophobic. And then I moved to China. It is quite difficult to describe in words and even in photos the amount of space people have to fit their lives inside of in a city like Shanghai. It…

Day Three Hundred Fifty Nine, January 16, 2011
A body of water can be so cooling, meditative, relaxing and allowing to moments of peace. Maybe it is part of the magic that water possesses, but even a river in the middle of a hectic city can provide a needed sanctuary. The lulling movement of the water, the twinkle of sunlight on the surface…
