After A Shower

2009 16 07 After A Shower 1962 Exhibited London Salon 1
To gain an acceptance in the London Salon in the sixties was an achievement in photographic art. My record shows that this monochrome print was one of the 3 acceptances out of the 4 monochrome prints that I submitted in 1964 London Salon. After a lapse of 45 years, I still quite like the print. This is also one of the prints that I will exhibit in my coming “Painting With Light and Shadow-A 50 Year Chronicle”. You are welcome to visit the Exhibition.

Motherly Care

While I was cycling through a village in South Vietnam, I stopped by a riverside to capture this image of mother and child sitting on a boat. I like the expression and the body language of the people. I think these are the important elements for a good portrait study. Soft lighting here is aptly light up the subject.
Actually, we were supposed to experience a farm stay. But a squadron of mosquitoes continue to attack us. In the end, we had to abandon the farm stay and gone back to the city instead.
