For the most of us Chongqing has been the city we see form the little pockets of walking streets, shopping centers and bars we cling to so dear. Many a times i have asked and been asked what the real culture in the city i have grown to love and appreciate is? Well i finally found the answer to that question, and found it in the works of Colin Jones a 6 year resident and a good friend who from his teens got into the dirt like Jailing does the Yangtze and came out swimming with his Range Finder in one hand and images in the other. Thus earning him first place in the annual Carl Zeiss awards and leading him to work close with the National Geographic Society within China. nothing can describe the man more than his unofficial soundtrack, a little taste to get you ready to experience the city, his city； Colin Jones （Jay Z） the city is mine A must see show for all and it will be held on the 16th of July in Bridge Book House in Long Hu Jiangbei.
