Welcome to Collection or Photography by Richard Hsu. It is a set of fine-art images printed on the highest calibre optical photographic paper currently available for order. The optical resolution print is approximately 30"x40". I have digitalised few of my film work, but most will be of my current work. I have returned to my original joy of fine art photography in landscape and urban abstract photography. Hanging up my engineering slide-rule and blueprint drawings and traded my legal professional Mont Blanc tools and my Armani ties for the latest fine Germany Rodenstock digital lenses and meet nature at its best for a "shoot out" show down. My choice of brand lens and system is merely a personal specification choice. All brands are good and each has its own specialties, but certain brands are just not lived up to what they should to be. Brands are as good as their support! I remember as a kid, playing with my dad's Yashica view finder camera. Then at the age of 6, I still have my very own Nikon F2A camera with a 50mm f1.2, which I still have with me - and it still WORKS! At that time, since black-n-white was the most economic mode of affordable photography, it laid a solid foundation for my future black-n-white photography building blocks of urban abstracts of buildings and people "chic" journalism, a trademark that I have recreated for myself. Then in the late 1970s, I saw several black-n-white landscape images which captured my soul. I quickly learnt who the photographer was and the secret behind those prints. That photographer was none other than Ansel Adams and his Zone System! I learnt quickly the photographic limitation of my SLR camera system and was quickly converted to the famous 6x6 medium format and large format photography. The latter opened up the hidden treasure and spirit of photography. Ansel Adams inspiration forever changed the way I viewed and captured landscapes black-n-white photography. Thank God for digital evolution. Gone are the days of labour intense darkroom developing and printing, with more time spent in photography.
