Hong Kong street fashion goes double
Up close and personal with Tianyu, an adorable 20-year-old girl from Hubei province. Three years ago she tried to kill herself after a few months of working in a Foxconn factory in Shenzhen. She is now paralyzed from her waist down. I met her in her village in Hubei a couple weeks ago. Video up on scmp.com/video and on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/64782736
A villager looks back at the destruction of old Tan, one of the few remaining urban villages of Guangzhou. Developers are pressuring the last inhabitants to vacate their homes and have hired “security guards” (thugs).

Leaving in a hurry for an assignment in China. Chaos and confusion ensue but in the end I love it. The excitement and the anticipation before starting shooting/filming, getting to meet new and interesting people and the desire to tell the story as well as I can… Did I ever say that being a journalist was, in my opinion, the best job in the world?
