Dinu Li

Today I came across the website of Dinu Li a Hong Kong born artist whose family emigrated to England when he was a young child. His work from China/Hong Kong is especially remarkable, and strike me as the images of someone both looking for himself and trying to picture a past that doesn't necessarily exist anymore.

I should note I found this work via Asian Photography Blog which is fast becoming one of my favorite daily reads.

Hi,
Came across your website while writing a paper for my photography class and stayed up all night reading the archives! Added your blog to my bookmarks :)
My sister's in New York too, and sent me this set - New York as it looked before all the buildings:

Maybe you'll find it interesting too!
