From my last business trip to Shanghai, earlier this month.  All of this stuff was taken while wandering the streets aimlessly one morning when I had a few hours to kill.  Street photography is great, especially when it's someplace far from home.

For those that might be familiar with Shanghai, these were taken in what's known as the old "French Concession" area. right around Huaihai, Maoming and Shanxxi roads.

And from the public park right across from the Fashion Market, a variety of activites, all happening at once:
 Popup Linkfreedom of speech1
Popup Linkfreedom of speech2
Popup Linkwatching the dancers
Popup LinkI don't know why, but this woman's face intrigues me
Popup Linkladies out for a stroll

...not sure if this is the best stuff from my trip, but it happened to be the memory card I grabbed first...

    great post. I love seeing places that I have never seen through other peoples shots. I really like womans face but I think it needs a little more contrast. It is an intriguing shot.

    No wonder the woman's face intrigued you, it is an excellent character study, by far my favorite of the set. Perfect in b&w, and I almost always prefer color.
