China Portraits
IN 1995 I travelled in western China with a friend. Naturally i took a couple of camera’s with me. I rememeber I had a pentax point and shoot that was fully auto. It was a chunky monkey but it was a beast, everything that came out of it was perfectly exposed and pin sharp. But the other camera was the star of the show. It was a Horizon mechanical panning camera. It took 35mm film and I used it all over china, laos and thailand. I loved how it captured the whole scene. It developed a light leak during the trip but I kept using it, it gave you such amazing story telling potential.
