What About the East?


Often times we seem to discuss more North American and European photography but it's not to be said that the east does not offer it's fair share of photographers, even the more contemporary-based artists. Muge is a fairly young photographer who is based in Chengdu, China and studied at the Sichuan Normal University. But most of his work is freelance currently. Please note his site typically doesn't download fast but it can be worth it for exploratory reasons.

But he does touch on some similar subject matters that I know a few of you are working with in your projects and upcoming capstone ideation. His 'Home' series is a nice reflection of when you go back to your birth-home environment, observing what is still the same, and what is definitely not the same anymore and how jarring that can be to you and the people still there. Thoughtful indeed!
