Jeremy's Photos
Jinan 济南
My first visit to Shandong province was to Jinan, both the capital of Shandong and my girlfriend's hometown. There are lots of natural springs, buddhas and mountains.
Shanghai Apr-May
As the weather improved, I started going outside more. I went to the top of the SWFC, Dave C visited, I went to some new areas of Shanghai, I ate well, and I have a girlfriend now.
Pudong Animals
I went to both the Wild Animal Museum and the Shanghai Aquarium in early May, in Pudong. My favorite is the smallest primate in the world, which resembles a person.
Yaniv in Shanghai
My cousin Yaniv from Israel, currently in Singapore, decided to return the favor and visit me in Shanghai. Besides going up the LuPu Bridge, his favorite place was probably Babyface.
Xitang 西塘
Yaniv and I visited Xitang, a water town famous for its scenes in Mission:Impossible 3. It was a bit larger than expected, but a quaint way to spend his final full day in China.
Jean Georges Week
Monday: Cooking Demonstration and Lunch; Wednesday: Lunch, Champagne Night; Friday: A Taste of Spring (Gala)..What a great week with one of the best chefs in the world!
Shanghai Feb-Mar
After Chinese New Year's, I had a lot of fun with friends going out to eat, walking around taking great photos, and enjoying the cold months of Shanghai life.
Yiwu 义乌
I visited a friend in Yiwu, a large commodities market town. Among other monikers, it's considered to be the sock capital of the world. To my delight, there was a lot of Middle Eastern food!
Singapore 新加坡
I went to Singapore to stay with my cousin Yaniv for 6 days, partly due to visa issues. Apart from the humid weather, it's a wonderful place to visit, and a great place to live.
Light Painting
Painting with Light is a really fun photography technique, involving a tripod and flashlight. It take a little bit of time to set up and take good pictures, but is totally worth the effort!
Back in NYC, II
Having just returned to NYC, I hadn't given much time in thinking out where to go and what to eat, so I just kind of played it by ear, saw some friends, and ate some good food.
Vermont
Bennington, Vermont is close to my house, so my parents and I often make it for a great hamburger. Also, it has the Bennington Monument, which is taller than the Washington Monument.
Niagara Falls 尼加拉瓜瀑布
Driving from Toronto to Albany, dad and I stopped on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, despite the frigid weather, so I could take waterfall pictures for the first time in my life!
Myhoa in Shanghai
On Myhoa's way to Xiamen, where she currently resides, she stopped in Shanghai for 3 days. Her favorite parts were the old Chinese streets, and favorite food was Xinjiang.
Shanghai Dec-Jan
In December '08 and January '09, some highlights were exploring new areas of Shanghai with Eric, including the old Jewish ghetto and the old cow slaughterhouse, 1933.
Back in NYC 纽约
You know what I like more than being back in NYC? Nothing! The vibe, the people, and most importantly, the food. Too bad it was only for 4 days. So great being back.
First Time Home
My first time returning home after moving to Shanghai in Sept. '07, there is something about snow I had forgotten: it makes driving treacherous! But, it also makes for beautiful pictures.
Amsterdam 阿姆斯特丹
Amsterdam was the first city my parents were in together (having met on a train) and where I celebrated my 18th birthday. Moreover, it's a great walking city!
Paris HDRs
Paris is a beautiful city. The historic structures, paired with water reflections and clouds, really make for some of the best HDRs I've ever taken.
Paris 巴黎
Not having seen Adam since January, I decided to take the flight to Paris to see him. It was a great 8-day trip with lots of beautiful sites and wonderful food! I love Paris.
Seoul HDRs
Seoul was a quite good HDR-city. Not only were the colors vibrant, but it is the first time I tried HDRs of more than 3 pictures (actually, 16 to be exact!).
Seoul 首爾
For October Break, I went to Seoul to see Inpyo and Maru. Not only is it a photogenic city, but the food is amazing. It resembles Tokyo in a way but is a bit more down to earth.
Ashraf at the Wall
On our second and final day in Beijing, Ashraf his friend and I went to Mutianyu and Huanghua. Huanghua was spectacular as expected, with the water and shadows, among others.
Ashraf in China
Ashraf came to visit me in Shanghai for a bit over a week. We also went to Beijing for a couple of days to see the sites. It was a great trip, and hopefully the pictures reveal that.
Shanghai Summer '08
This summer, I moved into my first apartment ever! The tallest building in the world (WFC) was completed. I went to a place a bit far away called She Shan, a resort area with a hotel.
Wuzhen 乌镇
Wuzhen, one of the largest water towns on the outskirts of Shanghai, is famous for its scenes in Mission Impossible 3. It was nice, but too crowded with tourists. i prefer Zhouzhuang.
Hong Kong-Macau
The last leg of my trip with my parents was Hong Kong. I thought it was an interesting mix of an urban city with dense high-rises and many relaxing beaches. A really liveable city.
Zhouzhuang-Hangzhou
When my parents were in Shanghai, we decided to take a day trip to a water town nearby called Zhouzhuang (12th Century), then an overnight trip to the nearby city of Hangzhou.
Shanghai with Parents
My parents visited me in Shanghai for about a week in May. The view from our hotel was magnificent, and I had not seen Shanghai like that before. I had a great time showing them around.
New Beijing 新北京
I quantify "New" Beijing as the Olympic venue, our hotel, the CCTV building, some Chinglish and good food (i.e. Fauchon), and Beijing's new airport Terminal 3, the largest building in the world.
Old Beijing 老北京
From May 1-6, my parents and I explored China's capital, Beijing. The pictures are of the old sites, such as Tian'anmen Square, The Forbidden City, The Summer Palace, and The Temple of Heaven.
The Great Wall 長城
We first went to Huang Hua, and not many people know about it because it is so remote. Unfortunately, due to thunderstorms, we returned to another section, Mutianyu, the next day.
Shanghai '08
This will be a frequently updated photo album of some experiences I've had in Shanghai in 2008. Included will be friends, architecture, birthday parties, venues, and last but of course not least, food!
Nanjing 南京
Nanjing is quite a "small" city by Chinese standards with only 7 million people. It rained for most of my time there, but I was able to squeeze in Sun Yat-Sen's tomb, a lake, and also Nanjing 1912.
Xi'an 西安
Xi'an is famous for their terracotta warriors. In addition, I saw the city wall, both the Big and Small Goose Pagodas, and a Muslim area with AMAZING street food. I also climbed Huashan, a famous mountain.
Ningbo 寧波
Since I had some free time in February, and I had promised my good friend Stephanie that I would visit, I decided to visit Ningbo for a couple of nights. It is a "small" Chinese city of 6 million people.
2008 Parties
These are pictures taken at the following events: Red Beat's Opening, Sexy Carnival at Mao, Bacardi-hosted event at Muse through Jaded Productions, and Kamen's birthday party at Red Beat.
Northern Vietnam
Hanoi was alright. However, Ha Long Bay, or "Bay of Descending Dragons", has over 2,000 formations coming out of the water, and is one of the most magnificent places to which I've ever been.
Central Vietnam
Technically part of Southern Vietnam, although I like to classify it as Central Vietnam, I visited Hoi An, known for its fabric market, and Hue, with a famous citadel. I went on a long motorbike ride, too.
Southern Vietnam
My Vietnam experience began in Chao Duc, a small town along Cambodia. After one night there, we headed to Ho Chi Minh City, or Saigon, which is the largest city in Vietnam with about 8 million people.
