Long Chin-san (1892-1995) was one of China's early photo-journalists. His photographs incorporated the aesthetics of Chinese traditional ink paintings into Western photographic tecnique. His images are even more amazing as they were from the pre-digital era, some of which were from combining multiple images in the darkroom.A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words.

Hi there Stiletto,
ReplyDeleteyou know what I am going to say about thee images don't you???
just wonderful...
And didn't he live along life...113 years !
Happy Days
Oops! Thanks for pointing out to me. Actually he lived 103 years. I've revised 2005 to 1995. Too bad he didn't reveal the secret of his longevity. This info would have been as sacred as his photographic techniques.
ReplyDeleteThese put my chrysanthemum images to shame! The beauty astounds me.
