Signs that summer is over
Shanghai temperatures have dropped 15 or 20°C in the past couple of days leaving everyone complaining about the cold and scrambling for closed shoes and long-sleeved tops. But the writing was on the wall... No better sign that the summer is over than the appearance of water chestnuts and hairy crabs - which I spotted in Zhujiajiao a few days ago.

Naptime
There is no place like Shanghai to spot people sleeping on the street... sometimes in the most unconventional positions, if you ask me!

Late summer games
Shanghai goes dormant in the afternoon during the torrid summer. But as soon as the temperature drops, life returns in full force. This was the first Saturday when the temperature dropped below 25°C.

Fashion Show
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to shoot a fashion show for Shanghai University's graduating class of fashion designers. It's taken a long time to edit the 3000+ shots, but I've finally shipped the best 500 images to the people involved. These are my favourite.
Colours!
Ah the colours of Shanghai! Nowhere as evident as in textiles and girly trinkets.
