Here are some of the photos I took when I went to Istanbul in September 2009. It was my first time and hopefully not the last. Istanbul is a vibrant city. Despite the fact that it was Ramadan and that apparently the city is much quieter during that period there was still a lot going [...]
I miss the beach and the sea…
My mum came to visit me in London and I took her to Brighton. Now, I’m generally not a fan of English seaside towns but I do love Brighton.
The last leg of my Californian trip took me to Los Angeles. I was only there for 4 days and I wish I could have stayed a little longer. I loved LA. Sure, the city isn’t particularly beautiful, it is HUGE and not having a car whilst you are there is pretty much unthinkable but… [...]
After spending a few days in San Francisco, I took the road along the coast, the Highway 1, and drove all the way down to Los Angeles. I stopped many many times on the way, mainly because the scenery is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. I stayed the night in a yurt at the Treebones Resort, which [...]
‘Pause’ is an ongoing series. These were taken in California. All photographs are by Mei Chan.
Bike ride over the Golden Gate bridge…. October 2011.
I saw tonight one of the most amazing sunsets I have ever seen. This was by the artisan market at Antananarivo, Madagascar. The sun looked like a red marble hanging from the foggy sky. Breathtaking.
I recently spent a few days in New York City. The weather was hot and sunny for most of the time and only started to deteriorate when I left for San Francisco. It wasn’t my first time in New York and so the few days I spent there were not so much about discovering but [...]
On Sunday 26 June 2011, a bunch of us met up at Millfields park and rode along the river Lea all the way up to The Crown pub in Broxbourne. It took us a few hours to get there, mostly because we got three punctures along the way and stopped for a little picnic. We then [...]
Shot on the 18 June 2011 whilst travelling from Battersea Park train station to London Bridge train station. It was a gloomy afternoon indeed.
I came across David Schalliol‘s work a while ago, probably via Flavorpill, and I have been meaning to post about it for ages. Besides my fascination for architecture and architectural photography, I find David’s work particularly interesting because it’s not only about aesthetics. It also provides a strong and important social comment on the current [...]
John Humble has been documenting the “ironies and paradoxes of the Los Angeles landscape”, as he aptly puts it on his website, for over 25 years. To me his photographs capture the sense of dislocation of LA’s urban landscape well. The city is so vast and spread out that you can’t live there without a [...]
The journey through rain/water that Gregory Thielker‘s paintings take us on is beautiful and somehow a good remedy to the general morose feeling that the current London greyness/drizzle/rain/drizzle/greyness inspire… All paintings are by Gregory Thielker.
