BACK TO NINGBO

The sights and sounds of Ningbo, China never seize to amaze me...I mean, this place is such a bustling city, yet at times it can come across so primative in nature. I hate to bore you with words when pictures are worth a thousand, So first of all let's put this into perspective. This is where I am talking about...

Now that we got that out of the way, let's take a look at some of my favorite shots from the trip...

HITTING A WALL

So, its been over a month since I've posted anything and I figure I could either let you in on my laundry list of excuses or just push through and start up again. I've come to realize hitting the wall can happen in any creative process and in this day and age with so many creative and social outlets it can be hard to keep up. Two weeks ago I was traveling in Ningbo, China and started noticing these great textures on the walls around me. Ningbo is an up and coming city with construction happening all over the place. This makes for an insane contrast of old and new seen all over in today's China. I am a huge fan of taking something found in it's natural environment and using it in design, so in these everyday walls I saw inspiration. Weather it's for color, layout or a great distress texture, these walls spoke to me.
