Thank you for your (Knoctur_nal) response.

I think I saw some of those chinese art works in an exhibition in V&A Gallery, London.

Yeah, I usually look at some Graphic Artists/illustrators' website to get inspire.

Here they are;

I am not really into illustrations... more photography and painting person myself.
Love works by Irving Penn, his imagery is stunning, his pictorial essays in Vogue never fails to awe:

Thank you for the pics , nice to see you guys uploading pics.

Besides being a big name in fashion photography, Does't he (Irving Penn) also take photographs of Jazz artists (I think as a personal interest).

Salad Ingredients

Still Life with Watermelon
http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/penn/penn_watermelon.jpg

The fact that he released a book full of photos of cigarette butts fascinates me:
Street Findings
http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/penn/penn_findings.jpg
Cigarette 17
http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/penn/penn_butts.jpg

And yes, I believe he does take portraits, besides the still lifes he does. I specially like his photo series of Truman Capote and the Ballet Company (I believe it was the NYBC)

PS> Can anyone teach me how to shrink the photos I upload?

[ezai]

I like the photos to be large ,
but if you want to shrink them use photoshop. Just resize the image and presto you have a smaller pics.

- Open your pic in adobe photoshop
- Click on image
- Click on Image size
- type in the size in Pixels/ percent
- Click ok
- Then save as whatever format you prefer.
- Thats it

To learn more go to the this site and go through the forums .
I found it to be very useful.

By the way , I love the cigarette butt photographs.
