Strange as it may seem, up until last week I hadn’t considered taking any photos of the buildings in Shanghai. I’ve already taken my ‘must-do’ shots – the obligatory photos of the ‘forest’ of skyscrapers (taken from my apartment balcony) and the view of the Pudong skyline from the Bund (both images below). But that was just to get them out of my system; and concentrate on the ‘serious’ business of creating some more original images.

I thought Shanghai was a modern city. Until, that is, I walked away from the bright lights and skyscrapers in the centre and started to explore the older neighbourhoods. Some of these are simply undeveloped, and will probably be bulldozed and rebuilt in the near future. Others have retained their ‘old’ character for reasons of commerce and tourism, such as Yuyuan Garden in the Old City.

While I’ve never watched The Wire I’ve been interested in the city of Baltimore since I visited a friend there back in 2001. What I never realised from my brief visit is that the city really does seem to have a dark side. Nina Marie is from Maryland and her photos caught my eye because of her photos taken in some of the poorer parts of Baltimore. I’m not a photojournalist – and I admire photographers that risk their personal safety in the pursuit of photographing something interesting.

There’s a gap in my ‘The Magic of Black & White’ eBook series – Lightroom doesn’t get a mention – mainly because I used Photoshop CS when I wrote those eBooks (and still do). Luckily, Piet Van den Eynde has stepped up and filled in the gap with a superb new eBook: The Power of Black & White in Adobe Lightroom and Beyond (A Masterclass).
