Day Two Hundred Fifty Four, October 3, 2011
The state of most young people after the end of school today is overshadowed by confusion. Too many influences all pulling in different directions, too many decisions to make, too many specialties to choose from, to many religious beliefs to adhere to or not adhere to, too many schools of fashion to adopt, too many…

Day Two Hundred Fifty Three, October 2, 2011
I wonder what life is like for a man working in the sea, to have the earth shifting beneath you constantly, to have long hours of alone time between sky and water, to rarely experience stable ground, to be exposed to the elements day in and day out, to become intimately familiar with the movement…

Day Two Hundred Fourty Two, September 21, 2011
When the world quiets down, when the mind expands, when time gains elasticity, when the hands buzz and tickle, when peripheral vision activates, when a strange kind of awareness attends you, when you become so focused on the task at hand, when you are transported to a dimension you can only call ‘other’, when you…

Day Two Hundred Fourty One, September 20, 2011
I pass them by everyday, migrants from the provinces, on the streets of the city, pulling and pushing, their heavy loads, on bikes and on foot, male and female, old and even older, weariness in their eyes, wrinkles on their forehead, under the Shanghai sky. And they remind me every single day, that I have…

Day Two Hundred Thirty Seven, September 16, 2011
When we have too much to handle, when we take on more than we can cope with, when life pressures us beyond our capacity, when our loads are just too big, we panic, and when we panic, we worry. Worry is a cruel artist, it favors the face for a canvas and its best skill…

Day Two Hundred Thirty, September 9, 2011
Every little girl’s dream, the moment she becomes princess and joins her prince, the most romantic moment to look forward to, the happy ending to most fairy tales… It is just moving to see this tradition still alive in our world of today, to witness a moving ceremony of pledged loyalty, mutual respect and of…

Day Two Hundred Twenty, August 30, 2011
Please meet this sweet couple. They live in a small room at the entrance of a construction site on a Shanghai street. The bikes behind them belong to some of the workers on the site. They were in their little home doing housework when I passed by with my camera, we exchanged smiles and I…

Day Two Hundred Fourteen, August 24, 2011
Someone to sit with you in silence, someone to reflect back your thoughts to you, someone to be witness to the turns of your destiny, someone to have a special cozy spot for your secrets to live in, or simply someone to shelter you from the rain…

Day Two Hundred Thirteen, August 23, 2011
Have you ever been looked at in a way that made you stop in your tracks and be forced to re-evaluate and to re-consider certain importances? Some stares can do just that to me. They can force me into a state of depth and non-superficiality because they just carry that power within them. This lady…
