From IG, saw a photo from a similar spot on Wukang Lu today. Went looking back through the archives to find this. #bryanroos #bryan_roos_imaging #photography #bw #blackandwhite #personalwork #street #streetphotography #wukanglu #china #shanghai #中国 #上海 (at Shanghai, China) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEi0yIml23l/?igshid=1ai5wt51prbue

A friend from dinner one evening. She was deep in the process of ordering. The food was great by the way. #bryanroos #bryan_roos_imaging #photography #bw #softlight #blackandwhite #personalwork #portrait #woman #leica #sony #china #shanghai #中国 #上海 (at Shanghai, China)

This week I am going back to a trip to Kyoto, Japan in October of 2014. Let me know what you think of the images. Honestly, it was a bit overwhelming at first. Walking through the old streets of Gion, and the many shrines about the city was a lot to take in. It was even more amazing than imagined. #bryanroos #bryan_roos_imaging #photography #bw #blackandwhite #street #streetphotography #personalwork #leica #monochrom #summicron #japan #kyoto #Gion #bike #bicycle #night (at Kyoto, Japan)

So sorry for being away for awhile. I hope to get back to posting on a more regular basis again. The image below is from my last trip back to Shanghai. It is a piece of a larger image. You will get to see the full image in a couple days. #bryanroos #bryan_roos_imaging #photography #bw #blackandwhite #street #streetphotography #personalwork #shanghaitower #china #shanghai #中国 #上海 (at Shanghai Tower)

Street photography, in the literal, but not so obvious sense. This is one of those images, you either see it, or you don’t. Dark thick lines in the upper right, contrasted to the light thin lines lower left. Long, narrow sign upper left, contrasted to the block box lower left. Hope you enjoy the image. #bryanroos #bryan_roos_imaging #photography #bw #blackandwhite #personalwork #street #sign #signpost #streetphotography #leica #monochrom #unitedstates #losgatos (at Los Gatos, California)

Continuing the theme this week - recent trip to the USS Hornet, 8th of its name, docked in Alameda CA. Everything is labeled. Showing its age after 70+ years of service, but still 100% functional. Keel laid August 3, 1942. Launched August 30, 1943. Commissioned November 29, 1943. #bryanroos #bryan_roos_imaging #photography #bw #blackandwhite #personalwork #usshoret #uss #navy #usnavy #aircraftcarrier #WWII #WW2 #US #alameda (at USS Hornet - Sea, Air and Space Museum)

Continuing the theme this week - recent trip to the USS Hornet, 8th of its name, docked in Alameda CA. I do think a fair amount of the attraction is the robustness of the construction and the singularity in purpose. The design needs of a warship. Everything is built to take a hit and continue serving it purpose. #bryanroos #bryan_roos_imaging #photography #bw #blackandwhite #personalwork #usshoret #uss #navy #usnavy #aircraftcarrier #WWII #WW2 #US #alameda (at USS Hornet - Sea, Air and Space Museum)

Recent trip to the USS Hornet, 8th of its name, docked in Alameda CA. The detail in the ship is amazing. I could have walked around for days creating images of all the bits of detail. Goes straight to my degree in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering. The USS Hornet played a huge roll in not only WWII, but also the NASA Apollo program. #bryanroos #bryan_roos_imaging #photography #bw #blackandwhite #personalwork #usshoret #uss #navy #usnavy #aircraftcarrier #WWII #WW2 #phone #US #alameda (at USS Hornet - Sea, Air and Space Museum)

You don’t get rainy day photos, unless you go out in the rain. Was pretty happy to get this image while walking across the Suzhou Creek bridge in Shanghai. It was obviously raining, and I had my jacket and hat to keep me dry, but the umbrella remained in my backpack. It is an impossible challenge to manually focus a 50mm f0.95 lens while holding an umbrella. Yes, I saw him coming, but literally only had 3 seconds to bring the camera up and estimate where he was going to be when he reached me at the peak of the bridge. The stitching on his shoulder and some of the rain on his umbrella is sharp. His nose is just a bit soft. Probably shot at f1.4. Have always been amazed at the ability to ride a bike and hold an umbrella at the same time. The grimace on his face is clear as he heads into a cold wind with the spray of rain in his face. The slanted girders on the far side of the bridge frame the rider and the umbrella nicely. Knowing I had this image 5 minutes into my morning walk, made for a pretty happy day. #bryanroos #bryan_roos_imaging #photography #bw #blackandwhite #personalwork #street #streetphotography #portrait #bridge #noctilux #sonyA7RM2 #sonya7rii #suzhoucreek #suzhoucreekbridge #rain #umbrella #china #shanghai #中国 #上海 (at Shanghai, China)
