I was excited to learn that one of my photos (part of my China Punk series) was featured in issue #1 (January 2011) of F8 magazine as part of a feature on 52Selects.com. You can see the whole issue of the magazine--it's beautiful!--at issuu or on the F8 website. Expect more news about my new partnership with 52Selects in the coming weeks, too.

My photo of a public service environmental ad campaign in Shaoxing, China, recently included in the Magnum Foundation and Green World Campaign's "Giving Trees" exhibition at 25CPW in New York City, was shown on Photo District News' Photo of the Day site on Dec. 3, 2010. The post served as an announcement for the show and also featured the work of Ruben Reyes, Keryn Huang, and Benjamin Dimmitt.

My photo of a dog butcher in Yangshuo, China, was featured as part of a discussion on eating dog meat in China on Andrew Sullivan's Daily Dish blog for the Atlantic. Thanks to Chris, Katie, and the rest of the crew behind the scenes at the Atlantic. Long a favorite magazine--I've subscribed on and off (off when I'm out of the country) since high school--I'm glad to know there's such a great team behind the magazine.

I'm honored to be featured in the latest issue of 100Eyes magazine, China: The Past is a Foreign Country. Curator Andy Levin contacted me a few weeks ago looking for stories for the issue, and I thought China Everbright would be a perfect fit. This issue of the magazine is big, and it's been getting a great reception so far. I was very excited to see my image on the cover! Above, you'll find a few of the images included from my essay in the issue. Also included in the issue is excellent work by the following friends and colleagues: James Whitlow Delano, Markel Redondo, Katharina Hesse, Ryan Pyle, Xiqi Yuang, Wayne Liu, Carolyn Drake, Rian Dundon, Tim Franco, Eric Guo, Christian Als and Holly Wilmeth.

My thanks go out to Darcy at the New York Times National picture desk for calling me a few weeks ago to cover an interesting story brewing in Helena, Montana, on the subject of changes to the school district's curriculum guidelines regarding sexual education, anti-bully measures, and issues relating to homosexuality. You can see the story on the New York Times website. The shoot was challenging for a number of reasons: the main action of the story had happened a month before the shoot, many players in the story were unwilling to be photographed or go on record, many were unwilling to meet anywhere but a bagel shop (one subject wouldn't let a New York Times reporter in their house), school was out of session on the scheduled day of the shoot, the superintendent, who was the driving force behind the curriculum, was unavailable for pictures. Nevertheless, I feel the shoot was successful. I've also posted a few of the outtakes in the recent work section of this website.

My story, Remember Old Kashgar, about the destruction of the Old City section of Kashgar, Xinjiang Province, China, was recently featured on Gaia Photos.

If you're in Shanghai, be sure to pick up a copy of the July issue of That's Shanghai. They've just published a generous edit of my series on China's crowded railways. Big thanks are due to Chad Ingraham, a talented photographer in Shanghai who got me in touch with That's Shanghai, and JFK Miller, photo editor at That's Shanghai who pushed to get 4 pages and a decent fee for the usage. Look for more of my work in That's Shanghai in the coming months, too!

A small selection of my essay on New York City fursuiters was recently published in China's Vision magazine in the May 2010 issue.

I got a call in the middle of the night in January, two days before a trip to Xinjiang in far western China. I was surprised to hear the voice of a friendly Wall Street Journal photo editor asking if I'd be able to photograph high-fashion brand MCM's first store in China for a story about the brand's resurgence under new ownership. The billionaire owner would be there, as well as members of Shanghai's rich and famous. Not exactly my scene, but I'm always excited to see something new and different. The shoot was a long day in a single room, but it was an enjoyable challenge. I finally got a chance to see how they used the photos; I so rarely see my photos anywhere but on a computer screen, so it was especially exciting to get a copy of the paper. Big thanks go to the MCM team for being so friendly and helpful, and the editors of the Wall Street Journal for giving my photos some great play and for calling me in the first place.

I had a pleasant call one night while in far western China a few weeks ago. Time Asia was interested in one of my images from Small Concrete Boxes to illustrate a story about tigers in China as the Year of the Tiger got under way. After hearing about it from a few friends, I've gotten the tearsheet in the mail. You can see the story at Time.com.
