Shanghai Daily Photo blog

We don't remember exactly how we came across shanghaidailyphoto.com, but we thought we'd share. It is as it sounds: A single blogger (in this case "Jing") posts a single photo about Shanghai every single day (give or take). She's not a professional photographer, or someone who aspires to be one. But she likes her camera, she likes Shanghai, and she is diligent (although she only just started this in September). "I live and work in this city," she wrote in her first post. "I love this city. :) Hope the photos could record the small footstep of it."

There seem to be a lot of other "daily photo" sites from cities around the world. Jing links to many of them from her blogroll. But they don't seem easy to maintain: Beijing lasted from September to November last year, and Taipei hasn't been updated since November 18. Hong Kong seems pretty steady, though.

Jing, herself, has been AWOL since posting the attached slipper photo on Jan. 3. And commenters — there have been 21 so far on the post — are wondering where she is.
