It’s all like an absurd dream. Reminds of of what film directors come up with, yet this is all just found. And then framed. Really inspiring work.

Sequencing is also superb, and what a closer. Likely people will make comparison to Nadav Kander’s work on the Yangtze but that does nothing to diminish this obviously very personal work for me. Large format doesn’t always translate well onto the computer screen but this certainly does. To see these in large prints would be amazing. Inspired … now dusting off my large format camera …

Macro and micro measures of interest in every corner of the frame: even in the haze and mist, the faint horizons seems to have some message.

就好像一部電影我的英雄,導演和詩人賈樟柯….

從時間光誕生了。空間從嬰兒的膚色誕生。光榮。….

Large format photography just cannot be beat, especially when wielded so well in the hands of a skillful photographer.
Zhang, in the opening shot, is that man fishing with the net or some other activity?

Here is a quote that I like on Zhang’s Yellow River pictures from The New Republic: “Despite referencing the steady environmental destruction that is taking place along the river, there is also something hopeful in the images. The river will continue to run.” And as long as the river runs and, as China begins to deal with its impact on the environment, there is the possibility of reversal and redemption. But this series is a lot more poetic and deeper than that, as it touches on the past as well as the present.

Very eerie and mysterious yet with the human element. Some of them almost looked other worldly. Cormac McCarthy’s “the road” mixed with “Oblivion”. I appreciate this photo essay. Thanks David!

Meaning coupled with artistry and vision. Wait, that’ not right. Meaning in a threesome with artistry and vision. I, too, enjoyed the tone.
