Sinostory 2011: Beijing

北京

For several years now I have been organizing trips to China for college students who study photography and video production. Each year we visit several cities in a whirlwind 2 week trek across China's eastern seaboard trying to absorb the culture, make new friends, and capture portfolio worthy images. This year's trip began in Beijing, with only a few days in China's massive capitol we only managed to visit a few choice locations before heading south.  Here are a few of my best images from our few days in Beijing, with future posts from other cities soon to follow.

Incredible views are one of the small perks of being at @swatchartpeacehotel as a resident artist. I able to gaze daily upon one of the world’s iconic skylines and am constantly mesmerized by the rhythms and movements of the city. #shanghai #外滩
Sweaty views from 6AM run on the Bund. I love watching a city wake up in the morning and will try to use the jet lag to my advantage these first few days at @swatchartpeacehotel #外滩
Remind me at the end of summer how fortunate I felt to have these iconic views just steps from my @swatchartpeacehotel studio.
Welcome to my summer home at @swatchartpeacehotel as an artist in residence. I’m already feeling inspired by this space and the community of 13 other artist I will share this beautiful historic building with for the next 3 months.

Anger + Courage = Hope now is not the time for complacency and despair
