My grandfather was a photographer. Never knew him, never met him. Always wished he was still alive. Check out this link: It's a write up on him.
Kouo Shang Wei
Hmm a pity, i've got none of his talents..HAHA
Some pics he took: (They're all quite faded already, but still have loads at home:))
Check out the one with the aerial view of SG river. According to my dad, he was always famous for tat kinda shots. Don't ask me how he did it...Cause I don't think there were many tall buildings then. My dad said he had a glib tongue:) haha talked his way through security guards, maybe, to get up there! ahaah
And this: "The other contemporary photographers include Lee Lim who gained inspiration for his photography through Chinese painting, and Kouo Shang Wei who was fond of architectural photography and was also interested in the subject of Samsui Women." is qouted from Wikpedia...under some other guys profile.hahahaha
He sure seems pretty interesting to me. Damn, wat i would give to meet him:/
