Chien-Chi Chang spotted in Taipei

[arond a.]

I saw Chien-Chi Chang (of Magnum) at an event in Taipei (Taiwan) yesterday. It

was the renaming of a public landmark from Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall to

National Taiwan Democracy Memorial Hall. It's a point of contention, so a lot

of people came to either oppose or celebrate the action. Chang was using two

M6's with motor drives. He had a light meter around his neck that he used to

check the light every few minutes. I noticed he seemed unconcerned with joining

the fray of other photogs to get the more sensational shots of people shouting,

posturing, and manhandling each other. He seemed rather relaxed, taking

deliberate shots and being content just to hang around and watch. He had none

of the desperation and excitability of the tabloid crowd flashing away

frantically. Instead he chatted amiably with two other photogs off and on. You

can see his work at magnumphotos.com, of course.

Sure it was him? The last few weeks he's been in Uganda, Besides, he shoots with a Mamiya 67 these days.
