November 5, 2008 - Blue window

Taken @ nearby Qing lian street, shanghai

I just processed the second roll of the films I took almost 3 weeks ago. And I changed a store to process, so the color looks much more brighter.  This is in somewhere of the old town of the city, a very small alley and I even didnt find its name on the both sides’ wall. But it still keeps its original houese, but not so many people live there according to the close doors, as I say.  The small room you saw on the picture is actually the place to put the rubbish before the trash car comes. What caught my eyes was that cute blue window, it makes that place look more brighter too.

The numbers you saw on the left side wall are the mobile phone numbers here, whats for then? hehe… well, if you need fake certifications for any subjects, please call the numbers …..But I guess we all no need that ! :)

October 25, 2008 - Zzzz…bored

Taken @ Fangbang zhong road, shanghai

Last Saturday I went out to my regular walk in the city. And I was surprised when I walked to this street. See?? So many booths were on the both sides of the streets; and normally it is forbidden to sell things on the streets in the downtown. But there lots of booths and lots of people.  Most of the booths were selling the second-hand stuffs there; and the most interesting part for me was you could find things totally out of your imagination. Maybe influenced by the worse economic situation, less people wanted to buy. :) Have a nice Saturday, my dear friends ~

October 24, 2008 - Where is the History?

Taken @ Fang bang road, shanghai

I can remember when I took this one, it was last Saturday, a nice sunny day. I went out to the Temple of the City God by foot. On the way, I passed some old streets, like this one : fangbang road (方浜路), where there were more old houses last year. But now you only can find this kind of wall along the streets and within the walls all the hourse are tored down and seems some new buildings will be built in the future.

Nowadays you could find such kind of places a lot, the under construction sites. And when I walk on the old streets I was familiar with, the feeling is quite strange. I discussed this kind of phenomena with my friends. Personally, I dont like this kind large-scale removal. History is not only the knowledge we write down on the paper, it is also something we could touch and see in our life. Those old buildings could tell more stories in the past. I hope the camera can help me to memorize more.

Have a good Friday and good weekend ~ :)

September 4, 2008 - Fa Zang Temple

Taken @ Ji An road, shanghai

Another Photo from Holga, its a temple named “Fa Zang Temple” which is in the downtown, but for most of the local its not the famous one. For me, what surprised me is I found lots of the people here have the religions and what in my mind is the generations around my ages do not know what to believe when they are lost during the daily life. I took this photo in the night with lower light. The characters on the wall are “南无阿弥陀佛“,aka namaḥ amitāba buddha. Have a good new day~
