Photos: Weekend in Chongqing

[Charlie]

I went to Chongqing over the weekend to do a show and had a great time. If you haven’t been to Chongqing and you live in Chengdu, you should really make some time to that. The chaos and majesty of Chongqing is really something.

Here’s a link to check them out: Photos: Weekend in Chongqing

A couple quick previews:

Nice photos! I stayed at hostel near to photo number 6 and some dude was wailing on that bridge with a hammer all night. Drove me nuts.

And those stairs. Stairs everywhere. Last July every nook and cranny was plastered with photos of that armed robber who was on the run. Exciting times.

Will have to check out the hot springs next time.

When I checked in they told me they got me a room on the 安静 (quiet) side. I think there’s construction going on all around that area, still.

Oh definitely. I didn’t know this previously, but Chongqing is apparently famous for hot springs. I found one about 40 minutes outside of the city which was real nice, cost 59 yuan for all-outdoor hot spring. I didn’t take my camera through there really, the only photo I got was of the main pool that was very large. There were many smaller ones, including one pool that was filled with those tiny fish that nibble on you. Good times.

The b&w set knocks it out of the park.

Have to go there sometime!

Great photos! Thank you for sharing! The one with destroyed bridge is awesome.

What’s the camera? Are you using any post processing software?

[Brendan]

Black & White’s are nice.

Yes, you must. I saw a few cyclists there over the weekend although they are few and far between.

Thanks, the camera I use is the Fuji x100 which I briefly reviewed here. I use Lightroom to organize and edit all my photos, it’s great.
