Urban confusionby *DaniBabitz

Photography / Urban & Rural / Urbex

Pudong , Shanghai , China , June 2012

Pudong is an area of Shanghai, China, located along the east side of the Huangpu River, across from the historic city center of Shanghai in Puxi. Formerly a little-developed agricultural area linked only by ferries, Pudong has grown rapidly since the 1990s and emerged as China's financial and commercial hub. It is principally administered as the Pudong New Area, a district of Shanghai.

Pudong is home to the Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone and the Shanghai Stock Exchange and many of Shanghai's best-known buildings, such as the Oriental Pearl Tower, the Jin Mao Building, the Shanghai World Financial Center. It is also the site of the future Shanghai Tower. These modern skyscrapers face directly across from Puxi's historic Bund, the remnant of Shanghai's former concessions.

Urban confusion by *DaniBabitz ( Suggested by *PawelMatys and Featured by `fritsvandersloot )

Critique by ~jigglypowerpuff298 Sep 7, 2012, 1:42:48 PM

The black and white colors give a plain, but creative illustration of Shanghai's most iconic buildings. The depiction intrigues me with a sense of confusion (but awe), as Shanghai is well-known for its vivid, colorful, urban nightlife. The fine line details on the Oriental Pearl TV tower gives an ironic impression of concreteness in the midst of its blurring background. The phantom-like blurs add the thrilling feeling of rapid motion to the picture. Maybe a tourist is riding in a speeding taxi, eagerly trying to absorb his or hers fleeting surroundings--with a focused field of vision. Perhaps when he or she decided to take a photograph, everywhere on the image turned out to be blurry except for that TV Tower. Overall, the photograph depicts feelings of edginess (to foretell exciting adventures to come while in Shanghai) and even feelings of nostalgia for the ephemeral, yet lasting, moment of impression.
