Forgotten Shanghai

A mesmerizing video of Forgotten Shanghai - The Longchang apartments.

Again, another contrast against the shiny bright lights of the new Shanghai.

See New York in a different light

I stumble upon this interesting link on Slate. While New York is often portrayed as one of the dazzling destination where all things exciting, fashionable and expensive comes together, there is this observant photographer/writer who brings to our attention the disparity of the human race, remembers the poor and the not-so-fortunate in glamorous New York.

Quoting from the article itself....

"It is not the Harlem where neighbors put out their chairs on the sidewalk and talk with each other. The intersection is where the old-style ghetto lingers on, where people who are not doing well come together."
