Good time at CHIPP,Shanghai 2010

I had a great time at the CHIPP 2010 award function at Shanghai where all the Gold award winners were invited.

We had a great time interacting with hundreds of local photojournalists and the exhibition at the Shanghai Art Museum followed by a grand Gala Banquet which was attended by the local photojournalists and also the top officials from the administration.

All in all had a great time.
