Thanks Kristian- great photography site. Here's another great travel photo site. http:billhocker.com/ . I think I might be warming up for a Leica safari to the southwestern U.S. this spring. I'm looking forward to visiting your great country some day also. Thanks for sharing your recent photos, and keep up the good work. Regards

Thanks Ronald. When you do decide to come to Australia let me know. My father works as a travel consultant for Qantas and can sometimes pull a string or two. I live in Melbourne

Yes, awesome photos of china. Good, creative style. Whats your website Kristian?

Thank you for bringing these to our attention. The pictures are visually interesting in themselves, and the captions, while unnecessary, are quite illuminating. True first class photojournalism. It is the kind of photography that the National Geographic should be doing, but doesn't!

Wonderful pictures from China. Yau-Sun is indeed very talented. Thanks for the link.

Yau San Tong's photography was featured in last year's Leica fotografie.

And featured in Canadian Leica distributor Kindermann's website for a while, and was introduced to this forum a year ago:

Mr. Tong used R8 and zoom lenses

You can see the work of an amazing photographer h ere/ I have no idea what camera(s) she uses, but why would I care? I'm interested in photography. If I manufactured the cameras, I might are who used them, but as someone who is a photographer, and wants to see great photography, I could care less what camera someone uses.

These are nice pictures. All the more interesting b/c they are done by an ethnic Han Chinese, who shoots like, well, a westerner- an outsider: mildly anthropological, pointing out about the exotic mysticism of these people. Yet he says nothing about the political situation in Tibet.
