China was the last place on earth to watch steam action on a big scale. This book is the result of the work from three friends. They went in many Chinese remote areas and brought back some amazing pictures. To do this, they used some middle-format cameras and fuji films. Then they scanned the slides to post-process some of them. This is an interesting mix betwell digital and film.
This gives a wonderful book. Even you’re not crazy about steam, you will like atmospheres, colours and landscapes. Everyday life in small communities is well shown, as the importance of the railroad in their life. This book is very inspiring and its price is not expensive, so why don’t you but it now?
