snaps | ghetto blasters & picture boxes ::

:: while strolling through the Taikang Rd. gallery / boutique district in Shanghai today, I came across a recently-opened second-hand shop that sells legit old stuff (i.e. what hipsters refer to as “retro”). The shop doesn’t have a proper name yet, nor business cards, but it’s located next to the back door of #2 on alley 274. Check it out, it’s full of fun stuff.

I took some snaps, see below: a circa 1986 Shanghai-made Hong Deng (红灯) brand over-the-shoulder boombox (RMB 1000), and a circa 1980 Suzhou-made Huqiu (虎丘) brand camera, model 121 (RMB 300).  // AjS
