I got a Canon S90 from my parents for Christmas. Some people are saying its the world's best compact. I'm happy with it, especially the control ring around the lens. I even dropped it one crazy night out and it survived unscathed. Here are a few photos I've taken with it over the past few months. All in Shenzhen:

6 years ago, I took snowboarding classes during my senior year in college and loved it. Ever since then, I've wanted to go snowboarding in China, and I finally made it happen a few weeks ago. Here is an article I published about my trip to Yabuli, the best ski resort in China. The bottom line: highly recommended if you are a ski/snow buff. Here are a few pictures that didn't make the cut:
After waiting for months, I finally held my surf contest over the New Year's holiday weekend. What a great last minute call! A lot of people were already busy with NYE plans, but we jam packed a small bus full of people, dj equipment, booze, and headed to the beach in time to set up for New Years Eve. After drinking, dancing, mixing, and stumbling until 3AM, we crashed and woke up for a full day of surfing on the first day of 2010. With a free flow of beer, tunes on the beach all day, plenty of waves and wipeouts, and everyone in go...Read more
A famous photographer, Chase Jarvis, recently published a book called The Best Camera, in which all photos were shot with an iPhone. He says basically says the best camera is the one you have with you. I found myself approaching last weekend without a camera, so I decided to make the most of my iPhone as a photographic tool. Here are the results:
Hiking into the Tailongwan with my board
During the National Holiday, I set out with a mission: find surf along the coast of Fujian. With a typhoon approaching, it was the perfect time. I used google maps to find a few places which I thought might have surf, and set out to find them.The first place turned out to be Jinmen, a Taiwanese island just off the coast from Xiamen that was bombed by China in 1949. It was fascinating, and when I found my first wave after lugging my surfboard all over the hell of Chinese buses, taxies, ferries, and motorbikes, it was well worth the effort. ...Read more
If you want to find some truly beautiful places in Hainan, get out of Sanya and head up the east coast. There, you'll find deserted beaches with mountainous backdrops and good waves. Here are a few pictures from my various surf trips down there in the past year.
I've created a new website ( www.shenzhenphotos.com) where I will showcase my work of choice. The concept is simple: one photo per day. Eventually it will morph into something bigger with a portfolio, projects, etc. But learning website design, html, and css takes some time. Here are a few examples of the kind of shots that I'll be posting:
I am super excited about a beach party I am organizing with my friends (& spinning as well). It'll be the first big beach party of the year here in Shenzhen. We did one last year, and despite only announcing the party one day in advance, got about 35 people (mostly good friends) to come and had the party of the summer. Despite the fact we lost several hundred yuan, it was all good. This time we are doing things a little different, that is, planning and putting the word out a month in advance. We've got a lot of our good fr...Read more
I am super excited to be having the Violent Jokes coming to Shenzhen next weekend. I've been running this DNB monthly for almost a year now, and this is the first time having a live band, as well as the first time having a gig in Shekou. I haven't seen the VJs perform yet, but from what I've heard, we'll be in for a special breed of music. and it's always nice to add some female vocals to the equation when the usual practice is a dude behind the decks. I am especially looking forward to the second...Read more
I've been a member of Flickr, a fantastic photo hosting and sharing community, for about 4 years now. In that time I've amassed about 5,000 images there. Flickr has a feature which determines your " most interesting" photos based on views, comments, notes, favorites, etc. Some of the choices are a total surprise, and some are not at all. Here are my top five photos, as d...Read more
