EXHIBITION
OF PHOTOS
AT ST
JOHN'S
THE pictorial photographte ex-
hibition of work by Mr Tchan Fou-li opened at St. John's Cathedral Old Hall this morning to the general public.
It will be open daily from 10 am to 7 pm until Saturday.
This exhibition, diverse in style and artistic composition, is a record of beautiful things, the charm of a moment capture, and the loveliness of so many tran- slent things presented with dell- ente precision,
There is the mystery of a mist shrouded Shoun valley, the polse of a bird on the wing dihouetted against infinite space, the human form seen through the finely-veined tracerles of a leaf, frozen moonlight and tiny figures of nuns focussed against a boundless horizon.
These are a few of the delights waiting the viewer.
Mr Tchan must be an out- standing exponent of photo- journalism in a Colony renowned for the excellence of its photo- graphic works.
