1980s Shanghai on film

Writing  ✺  Inspiration

This weekend I've been scanning in some 35mm slides of Shaghai in the early 1980s and there are some absolute corkers. I'm always fascinated not only by how things used to look but the typography, advertisements, colours and tones too.

I love social history and old film photos, they are a constant source of inspiration for me.
