Windy City

I went to Chicago with my friend Jenn this week. It was a very last minute trip. I had to show up in person at the Chinese Consulate in Chicago in order to get my visa. (or otherwise pay a large sum for a travel agent to show up for me...). Needless to say I chose the trip.

It was wonderful to travel with another photog. We would just stop and shoot for fourty-five minutes at a time. Above is Navy Pier. Below is the Bean.




and finally, the visa.

Moving to China

I am moving to China to be a photo intern for the World of Chinese magazine in Beijing. It is a bilingual mag for expatriates living in China/Hong Kong and people just learning the language.

I will be shooting the stories, and editing photos from AP/Stock when I cannot. I may also do some travel writing. In short, I am pretty damn excited.


I don't know a soul in Beijing, but I will be living with fellow interns, (in this youth hostel) the entire time.

I will be back in four months. This blog will get a bit more wordy when I am leaving.

Here is the internet version of the magazine and here is an article about the mag. (note: when you click the second link, and message in Chinese ending in an exclamation point comes up. I have no clue what it says, I just click the box. Be warned.)
