Fruit Stands in Chengdu
I shot these one day while out and about in Chengdu, China.

Kunming Lake
Sarah & I toured the Summer Palace on our first full day in Beijing, China. It was a spectacular day but Sarah wasn’t too pleased with me by the end. The temperature reached an incredibly hot 40˚C, and not only did I make her climb to the top of Longevity Hill to take some photos, but I also got us lost on our way back to the Metro. We eventually made it back to our hotel room to cool off before dinner.
This is Kunming Lake and it is part of the Summer Palace in Beijing.

Random Shots Around Yangshuo
I picked up 8 rolls of Perutz Primera 100 film on eBay and have been thrilled by how well this expired, discontinued film has stood the test of time. These photos were taken around Yangshuo, China.

Dolphins at Ocean Park
Sarah and I caught the dolphin show at Ocean Park in Hong Kong. I was quite pleased at how well my Olympus Trip 35 managed to freeze the action of the dolphins jumping. These were shot on the new Kodak Ektachrome E100. Ektachrome is one of my favourite films and I can’t wait to shoot studio portraits with it.

Mahjong in the Hutong
As we took a walk through an old hutong near the Bell Tower in Beijing, I came across a group of locals playing mahjong. These were shot on Lomography’s new B&W film: Potsdam Kino 100.

Xi’an Muslim Quarter
Of the many places that Sarah & I visited in China this summer, one of my favourites was the Xi’an Muslim Quarter. I could have spent hours wandering and photographing the Muslim Quarter’s night market. It was simply incredible! Sadly, I was unprepared that night and hadn’t brought enough film. These are some of the better photos.

Chinese Calligraphy
I recently visited China for my honeymoon. Sarah and I spent three weeks travelling the country visiting many places including the city of Chengdu, where we spent an afternoon in People’s Park. Near the Railway Protection Movement Monument, we saw an old man practicing calligraphy. He was writing poetry on the pavement with a brush and water. Since this was a once in a lifetime trip, I made sure to shoot lots of film. These were shot on the FPP’s Derev Pan 200, a new black & white emulsion.
