Phantom Shanghai
Phantom Shanghai, with a foreword by William Gibson, is a portrait of Shanghai as the city transformed itself in the first years of the 21st Century.
Under Vancouver 1972-1982 (Book)
“Under Vancouver 1972-1982” is a collection of my earliest photographs, published in 2017 by Magenta Publishing for the Arts.
