CNY! – Year of the Rabbit (2011)

by timvan on Feb.12, 2011, under Night ★, Photography, Smörgåsbord

Well, here they are. Night #5 of Chinese New Year in Shanghai… once again putting my life in danger… and in the aftermath both camera & photography covered in ash. All completely worth it.

Keep in mind it wasn’t foggy at all that night… those are all clouds from the firework explosions going on in every direction. It’s mayhem at it’s finest and most beautiful.

Enjoy.

The Great Firewall of China

As feared, my whole website has been blocked here in China amidst a recent massive crackdown on… uhm, beautiful photography? Who knows, but who cares, it is just ridiculous how the government blocks blocks blocks.

I am accessing this now via proxy, and was going to offer a link for fellow people stuck up the same creek, but considering you now need the software to even get here, it would be pointless. In the upcoming weeks I will be researching various alternatives… Freedur, VPN, etc.

Damn you Great Firewall of China!
