In honor of today’s celebration, I thought I might profile just a few of the many past and present talented Chinese photographers. They all blaze a hot trail for future shutterbugs…

– Don Hong-Oai‘s photography follows classic Chinese imagery.

– Quentin features some slick, commercial photography.

– For the fine artist in you, peep the work of Rong Rong. Read a book review on his East Village project.

– NYC based photographer Shen Wei uses natural light to its fullest in his “Almost Naked” project.
