Stone and Mist: Chinese Landscape Photography by Micheal Cherney

Enjoy the remarkable photographs of American-born photographer Michael Cherney, who has lived and traveled in China for more than 20 years. Although he uses a camera to capture the images, he prints and mounts them as traditional Chinese scrolls.

These scrolls will take you on a trip to China. Travel down the Yangtze River, visit ancient Buddhist caves and view peaks shrouded in mist. You will also see the changing face of China’s landscape. Megacities are replacing paddy fields and pollution is intensifying. This highlights the clash between China’s ancient traditions and its search for modernity.
