Old panoramic from 2006
Click photo for full size.
For the first time in over 2 years, I have direct access to xanga in the mainland, thanks to a TOR client which can bypass the censors. Sweet!
I took this picture from the roof of my building 3 years ago. I always loved going up there to relax, look over the city, and take shots. I did the same thing tonight on top of my current building, which is located just next to the tallest one you see in this picture. I'll post that later. Take care!

My Girls
I teach English at a community college in China. Most of my students are young working females, studying towards a degree which will help them advance in their careers. They are the nicest students ever and I love teaching them. Recently I taught a photography lesson and passed my camera around. Here are some of the results.

The view to Hong Kong
The internet suffered a serious blow at the hands of the Chinese censors recently. Among the casualties were Flickr, Twitter, Hotmail, Live, and hundreds of Chinese sites. Add this on top of Youtube, Blogspot, and Wordpress. It's almost impossible now to blog in English in the mainland. Somehow Wikipedia has remained untouched. I'm still waiting for Xanga to come back on the air, after being muzzled for over two years. Who knows, maybe the whole internet will go down. All I can say right now is thank god for Hong Kong (photo below)
In other news, I've started my own photoblog, which is being updated almost daily. So if you want to follow my photographic excursions, see here: www.shenzhenphotos.com

Surfing Hainan
I'm in the Philippines to shoot a wedding and go surfing. No internet blockage here, horray! Last November I went to the Hainan for a surf contest at the famous golf course wave. It wasn't huge but the conditions were nice. Here are a few shots...
