The first “Taiwan Photo” organizers orchestrated an exhibit hoping to bring together works from Eastern and Western photographers. Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama has a keen intuition, unique, method of using coarse particles, blur, and shaking to be his characteristics. On the other hand, the British photographer Master Michael Kenna uses elegant and beautiful Chinese landscapes giving his work a dense mood. The works of these two photographers are brilliant despite their difference in styles, but with culture still intact it presents the audience a wonderful show.
- Michael Kenna book signing: The organizer of this exhibition made special arrangements with British photographer Michael Kenna for book signing and inviting the public to speak face to face with Michael Kenna. It is a rare opportunity; you might want to take advantage of the weekend to visit with the whole family.
