Photo of the Moment 044

A late night at the office, just got this shot done to promote our side project Factory Five. This photo is actually taken at night in our garden, that we hopefully get more use out of when the weather turns.

A few days ago we had to cross over into Pudong land. That meant taking the ferry across the Huanngpu River - one of my favorite things to do in Shanghai. The sun was setting, and we managed to snap this beautiful shot !

What ? Photo of the moment ?? Yep, we've reached that point. Jeff and I just became too busy to post one photo a day, and we didn't want to dilute our posts with crap shots just to keep the rhythm going.

That means that from this point forward, we'll start doing " Photo of the Moment " - basically posting cool photos when we get the chance.

Yesterday I swung by the Trees' house to talk bikes and business. As some of you know, they have the nicest balcony in the entire city. These photos are proof, so enjoy!

Some of you might know this already, but I'll be speaking at the upcoming Pecha Kucha Shanghai on March 24th. I'm putting my best foot forward to talk about the cycling scene in Shanghai and China - how it all started and where it's headed.

Here's a screenshot of the presentation I'm working on to give you all a sneak peek! Enjoy!

Well, this is what happens when one of us gets sick. Photos are not posted ! Sorry, totally our bad. I myself have been tucked away drinking hot tea and gulping soup, but I've managed to pull myself out of the gutter and post some snap shots.

Here are 3 photos I took recently, so enjoy !

Going north across Yan'an Rd via Shanxi Rd, cars always take the left turn on green and sometimes you don't make it across in time. When this happens you end up riding against traffic until the next block. This might be an example of not what to do... stay safe Shanghai!.
