Tri is a sport under development created by Jeremiah Schwarz.
The basics are:
- one ball;
- three teams;
- three goals;
- a round shaped playground divided in... 3.
Different phases in the game and the tactical possibilities involved by the reunion of three teams provide quite a nice gameplay. Let’s hope it will grow and reach the mass!
More informations can be found on the official Tri Federation’s website.
While walking in the small ways that are joining my lane to other streets, I discovered one month ago a small shop which was intriguing me...
It appeared a bit later that Sdodo are making and selling photographs.
I just like this small shop, and the people inside look quite inviting and well... you know... They can speak English too, and being in China when you don’t speak Chinese that much, that is priceless.
Being curious and experimenting with cameras, I’m afraid my salaries to come (let’s all hope for this) are gonna be spent in films, cameras, and maybe other things; they do have really nice cameras.
One other thing that’s been tickling me for years is to maybe use my photographs as a revenue; getting more into some kind of production process where I don’t keep what I do for myself. I’m not too much into mercantile business; I prefer the idea that this shop could develop a network of people around photography and that I could be part of it.
Yeah, I really tend to stay away from all those social network services where you can get billions of friends you actually never see or talk to. I prefer the arts & crafts vision where things have some close relationship to a certain materiality. This is why I guess I prefer some geeks to others: they didn’t lose their interest of touching things.
Anyway... Sdodo Photography Studio opened their shop in ShangHai, and it’s right downstairs of my apartment. Here are a few links about them, if you want to have a look at their productions; everything is still a work in progress I think, but still...
Their address is: 徐汇区永康路142弄52号 (XuHui District, YongKang Road, lane 142, number 52) and you can call them at 0086 21 643 105 27; their English is good.
