Despite the present unsettled situation the Chinese Photographer of Hong Kong is taking Pictorial Photography very seriously and Mr. Francis Wu, F.R.P.S., F.P.S.A., reports that there have been increased activities during the year.

The Hong Kong Photographic Society has sponsored many new and varied programs. There have been two exchange shows from America and two from India and
The Hong Kong Photographic Society’s Sixth International Salon was a huge success.
Hong Kong photographers have received more Honors in the last year than previously.

Mr. Francis Wu strongly advocates the traditional Chinese Fashion in dealing with pictorial or portraits, and suggests that the Chinese can meet with more success by expressing their own distinctive and oriental characteristics than by imitating Western Art. He has accepted an invitation to attend the Photographic Society of America Convention and will undertake a lecture tour there for 3 months,

In introducing Chinese Art and Photography to the people of the Western World he hopes to assist in some measure a closer relation between East and West, and we with him all success.
