About the Book
Her love affair with China started in 1998 when she travelled to Beijing with her business-man husband. Then in 2006 she was invited to take part in 'Tibet in the Eyes of 100 Photographers'. The Chinese Photo Association invited guest photographers from 30 countries and this culminated in a book "Focusing on Snow Land'. It was an extraordinary trip.
Since then Lynn has returned six times as a guest of CPA visiting numerous regions and cities. Amongst them Guangzhou, Zibo, Altay, Karamay, Dongguan, Xinjiang, Urumqi, Jinan, Shanghai, Beijing, Guandong, Qingdao, Lhasa, Tibet, Tai'an and Hong Kong.
Highlights included staying in a Yurtz near the border of Mongolia, the rich culture, the variety of amazing foods and the very warm and friendly people of China.
In 2016 Lynn was honoured to be invited as a guest judge at the 16th CIPAF Exhibition in Zhengzhou.
This book is a collection of her favourite images from those years.
About the Creator
I am a retired professional photographer. I have published quite afew travel books - see the links on my website I have an exciting book coming soon called ICE about Greenland & Iceland. www.lynnclaytonphotography.com or search through Blurb.com I personally love the book on Jodphur The Blue City and my recent book on the boat houses on Lake Burton in Georgia is a small gem. I published a book on flower photography called 'Serendipity' I live in New Zealand and travel extensively, camera always close at hand. I have won several major awards and I am passionate about photography which I hope shows in my imagery. Not many words.......the photos tell the stories. My New York book does not do the obvious tourist shots.... it is a personal journey through the streets and subways from Brooklyn to Queens; Poughkeepsie to 5th Avenue and everywhere in between. This is a coffee table book looking at the greatest city in America through the eyes of a photographer!!
