media - More photographers than ever per square mile


A pleasant get-together of the Shanghai Foreign Correspondents Club in the Vault bar at Three at the Bund, where for the occassion they had normal size wine glasses. They were famous for having really very tiny ones. At the occassion Dutch photographer Aart Kooij sold his book "Faces of Shanghai", asummery of four years in Shanghai, as he will leave very soon for Europe.
The number of professional foreign photographers working from Shanghai is really amazing, and many of them were there. Both Fritz Hoffmann and Greg Girard, the veterans of Document China were present, but also Dvir Bar-Gal.
A fe photographers I never met before, like Yuko Sato, who has a really cool website. You cannot buy anything there, but very tasteful set-up. More photographers were there, on who only arrived five days ago and was of course out of business cards. And more are on their way, they announced.
