In this ongoing gallery series he will be regularly sharing some of his favorite shots, including this selection from the 2013 Global Mobile Internet Conference (GMIC) that took place this past week in Beijing. Here’s what he had to say about the event:

“The 2013 GMIC in Beijing was the biggest yet. This year saw for the first time a massive influx of models, contests and people dressed up in fuzzy costumes to introduce new mobile apps and services. Although there were some great speakers and competitions, I spent most of my time in the carnival ... er exhibition area.”
