Factory Five Night Ride - shots inside

Wed, 15 May 2013 12:45:14 +0800

Yesterday was the first time, I did the Factory Five Night Ride and the commute in one piece, meaning for this old, limb piece of German meat n’ bones, a 40km distance in under 2 hours.

My knees are busted.
I have still a long way ahead to get back up to scratch.
But it was fun!

My biggest respect to the strong man, hauling the whole ride a cart with boom box behind his fixed gear bike, providing the pack with good tunes and some orientation to find back to the lead, once you get left behind.

I took some photographs from my perspective of the ride for you, who couldn’t make it yesterday night - enjoy!

See you next week, and for you guys going to Wuhan this weekend … hit the roads and do the

Alleycat in Wuhan on May 19th 2013!

portrait - Lost Highway by David Lynch

Mon, 13 May 2013 13:32:24 +0800

Everybody has a list of their ten most favorite movies of all times or their top five flicks or their best movies in the last fifty years or so … these lists do exist in our minds and we think in ways often fluently shuffling the things, we like around in our imaginary charts of things we like …

Well, let me state this: “Lost Highway” is not just one of my favorite movies or among my top ten movies of all times, no it is nothing less than THE best movie ever created by one of my favorite and highly respected directors of all times - David Lynch … I just love the man’s vision.

Now what would you think about walking in one of Shanghai’s oldest hutong quarters still in existence, pretty much far away from the west and it’s movie culture, looking for photographs?Naah, particularly not running into a movie nut, liking David Lynch’s master piece so much as to wear it proudly on his T …
