Beautiful photos from a young female student in Shanghai. While her portfolio contains a generous amount of ‘shy girl not looking directly at camera’ polaroids, which I’m getting fairly tired of these days, she also has some really thoughtful, narrative work.

Stumbled across Mike Peters’ excellent Flickr this afternoon while trolling through a Hasselblad pool and I’m digging it, especially the Coney Island sets featured here.
At times the collection may feel a little (just a little) exploitative (see: random fat people shot for being fat and random) but overall this is a great cross section of documentary style photography in NY and Jersey. On film and on a Hasselblad. I liiike. To quote Kristy Martino, “You CANNOT beat a square format, man.”
Matter of fact, I’m gonna dedicate this post to Kristy for a couple reasons: 1. She had a nice Hasselblad that she loved and had to pawn for gas money (buzzkill) and 2. As a recent NYC transplant, I know she’s missing Coney Island and all it’s weirdness, sadness and wonderousness.
Enjoy everyone!
