Location: Asia

The entry point for my brief tour of China was the southern Province of Sichuan-famed for its incredibly spicy food and baffling theatrical performances.  I flew into the capital Chengdu at the start of October and explored the city between bouts of rain before venturing out into the nearby mountains.

When I first decided to visit Ton Sai ten or so years ago I discovered getting there was a little tricky.

After a frigid night in Shanghai we watched the city wake up.

I'd like to say there was a sound artistic reason for documenting the one of the busiest shopping districts in the world while it was dark and empty.
