Review:
San Francisco’s Chinatown
Photography: Dick Evans
Text: Kathy Chin Leong

Very well made, high quality product. Ever since I became a realtor, I’ve become obsessed with coffee table photo books. I’ve already amassed a collection of martial arts books, now the two obsessions have crossed over.

When showing a model or staged home to a client, I noticed the various photo books used to help give character to a home. I came to realize that there are tons of photo books related to my personal interests, such as Asian culture and martial arts. I also have books on other topics too.

It’s awesome when you find a culture themed photo book that heavily features martial arts. I have found a few of those. This isn’t one of them though. Some Kung fu related pics are inside, but not much. Still an awesome photo book that displays/previews the unique character of San Francisco Chinatown. If you’re looking for detailed history and historical photos form the past, look elsewhere.

7.9/10

Going to review this awesome photo book soon on San Francisco China town

30/05/2022

Very small example of some of my photography book collection. 90% is based off of martial arts, China, and Asian culture in general. I was thinking of posting/sharing reviews of these. What do you all think?

We discuss the history of Kajukenbo and mainly what happened the night of Joe Emperado's tragic death. This is a sensitive topic understandably, it is not mine nor David's goal to offend anyone. Just wanted to set the record straight regarding Walter Godin's role in what happened.
