About Yau-Sun Tong Top of the World Expedition  Kung Fu & Tai Chi Master Yau -Sun Tong and I were able to talk and I learned through his spiritual words about his extensive travel  throughout the world with his camera in tow. The remote area of Southwest and Northwest China have a special spiritual appeal for him. I'm sure you will agree that his artistry  reflects a depth of rapport with his subjects that produces an intriguing cross-section of Tibetan culture and religious life. Yau believes  the spirit is in the place is foremost; taking the photograph is secondary. So take a moment for you,  and listen to this great interview on the perspectives from Yau-Sun Tong.

Seeing the World through  Allen Myers Getting out in Wolfville in November I met Allen Myers who was in town for the Devour Film Festival in Wolfville. Allen’s film Col Di Rocca was shown, made in Vendemmai Italia. Allen was hanging up his outdoor exhibit which immediately caught my attention! Allen Myers is a unique and talented photographer, film maker, writer and humanitarian. On January 15th, 2006, he made a life changing decision to change something in the world. With a backpack of clothes, a camera and a journal he headed to Turino Italy which was the first of many destinations. The artistry and vision of his work takes shape as he weaves himself into the communities in which he discovers. He works with, lives with and feels with the peoples he later captures on film and in stories. Nomadsight is a temporary street art instalment of world photography, it moves from city to city and in the manner grows in its collection. Nomasight.com is a photography travel blog about Allen’s global adventures. Supported by the loving people of the earth, these photographs tell the stories. ~ Allen Myers Allen Web Site Allen National Geographic
