China for a year and a month

i’ve been in china a year and a month now, and it’s time to get a new visa to live here. so just pop down to hong kong, hand your passport to a travel agent, go out get wasted (thank you people), come back the following morning to find your brand new 1 year business visa. then off to a very hot and sticky electronics superstore to buy a new toy.

The Sony R1 – it’s great, but the auto focus is so slow sometimes i want to throw the camera at the object i’m photographing. SNAP THAT BITCH.

On my way back up to Shanghai i traveled via the crumbling suburbs of Guangzhou and tested the R1 taking back lit photos…
