Where did that monster thing come from? Another great blog post, and such fascinating photos. Does he somehow shoot them square or does he crop them? How does he get that interesting color cast? I've never more ... "artistically smitten" with him! By the way, that "big Canadian guy" is an interesting twist on a familiar character, the Anonymous Bad Caucasian Actor In Chinese Movies. That guy must have been one of the first to become one *in his own country.* Haha! Where did that monster thing come from? Another great blog post, and such fascinating photos.
