In June 2009 Static Photography had the amazing photographic opportunity to travel to the city of Shanghai in China. Photographer Kris Krüg was shooting photographs of the Shanghai's underground arts and technology scenes for a book he was working on with Christine Lu called Chinameme Volume 1: Shanghai. This trip coincided with the Geeks on a Plane East Asia 2009 tour, which included events such as TEDx Shanghai and Barcamp Shanghai. Geeks on a Plane is heading back to East Asia for a 2010 tour this spring!

So Static Photography has been very busy since we got back from Shanghai, China. We were in Shanghai for two weeks with a schedule booked very full! Kris was shooting photos for his book Chinameme Vol. 1 Shanghai which he is co-authoring with Christine Lu. While in China Kris also spoke at TEDxShanghai and attended BarcampShanghai , which he helped start back in 2006. We also attended Shanghai's and China's first ever Gay Pride Celebration , a Ghostface Killah concert that was promoted by Splitworks Production as well as a few other events. We met new friends, shots hundreds of photos and explored many parts of the 25 million person city, under the burgeoning heat of Shanghai's summer.
