This weekend Shanghai enjoyed a photo exhibit like none they have had before. Galleries from all over the world featured the work of photographers and had some of their best work on display. There were a few famous photos such as the Afghan girl who was on the cover of National Geographic, and two of David Bowie. This was incredibly well attended, at times you had no choice but to move with the crowd. I tried to be careful when taking pictures, ensuring that if I was getting a close shot, something would block part of it. Not so for most of the visitors. People were snapping shots up close with both cell phones and cameras.
The exhibit hall, I understand built during the Soviet era, was amazing in and of itself. It had an ornate foyer with stained glass and gild decorating it.
