The Blue Hotel

Description

Shanghai, October 2005.

Shanghai has more neon than any other city I've seen. I think the people of Shanghai have decided that neon is their Very Own Art Form - with so much of it, some of it inevitably looks good.

This was shot from a taxi window as we raced by. I have a terrible time with night shots; I keep thinking I need a tripod. This picture makes me wonder though, since the restroom sign, if nothing else, is in perfect focus. Meanwhile, the streaks and blurs in this particular picture almost look intentional. (I was going to let you think they were - but I'd rather be known as a non-artist than a bad artist!)

No idea what the hotel's real name is. For anyone who cares, it's on Zhoujiazui Road, about 4-5 km northeast of downtown.

Technical info: ??? The camera is a Kodak digital. I'll have to look up details...if anyone is interested. Minor Photoshopping, mainly to get rid of the edge of the taxi window.
