    I arrived in Geneva today after long long hours on the plane and the first thing I felt like doing was to feel the land. I drove around the country side for more than one hour until I felt like stopping and I stopped on a dirt road where this cow was grazing with her…

    I photographed this sweet man about 2 months ago on a street in Pudong while he was taking his break from work with his friend and it was s delightful encounter, full of smiles and shy giggles from the two of them. Since the street was in my Shanghai neighborhood, I asked them if they…

    If I were to imagine a perfect place where I long to be when the world gets too noisy, and if I were to give it a color, it would most certainly be blue. Blue is soothing, calming, quiet, swirling, cooling, peaceful, deep, gentle… Yes, that is where I would dream of sailing, into the…

    Today I planned to go into the hot streets of Shanghai for some street photography, which is normally my favorite style of work. So I got ready, bag packed, lenses dusted, hat and sunglasses on and dove into the 30+ degrees of broiling city soup. Suddenly I found myself making a 90 degree turn as…

      It has been said that all creatures that have eyes, have a soul. Maybe that is why we don’t think twice about cutting flowers and eating plants, but we flinch each time we see any little animal or human being butchered, well at least most of us do. And the eyes radiate the truth.…

    Just like that, unannounced, a day of summertime came today. The temperature rose to almost 35 degrees centigrade, the sun was shining, even the mosquitoes showed up to claim center stage. But this is Shanghai, a city of extremes, and so many times the gentle Spring is very short lived and is pushed over by…

    This morning Spring was filling the air, the weather felt finally mild enough to leave heavy jackets behind and the sun was shining. She decided to dress herself for school as she often now loves to do. And out she emerged looking like a jar of jelly beans 🙂 But I could not blame here,…

      It has been said that the truth of something, anything lies in its essence. Often this fragile truth is hidden by layers and layers of personality and until those are stripped away, the inner finer core cannot be seen and experienced. It is the same with everything isn’t it? The fine being protected by…

    This 365 project has been taking me to the Streets of Shanghai exploring more in the last 64 days than in all of the 4 + years we have spent here in China. I love the explorations, what I am learning and the people I am meeting. It is a new adventure every day, and…
