Made in China – Shenzhen

made-in-china.jpg

This slideshow of the city of Shenzhen in China documents how that city is the epitome of the term ‘Made in China’. With tons of factories, cheap labor, plenty of workers, and products upon products lining the shelves of city stores, there’s no wonder why Shenzhen is the capital of gizmos and gadgets.

The photos are certainly amazing. Edward Burtynsky’s work will give you another look at China’s incredible manufacturing abilities. There’s a documentary based on his work called Manufactured Landscapes, which I’ve seen, and I totally don’t recommend unless you want to fall asleep. Otherwise, the photos are worth viewing.
