The word photography'' is translated as sa-jin in Korean, a name given by a group of Chosun dynasty diplomats who visited Beijing in the 1860s and took pictures at one Russian photographer's studio. Each syllable has a distinct meaning and the two combine to define the term. The first part, sa means precise representation, while the second one, jin means essence or true quality of an object. The meaning of sa-jin thus differs from that of the English term photography,'' which emphasizes the...

Keetman was born on April 27, 1916, in Wuppertal-Elberfeld. His father, an enthusiastic amateur photographer, gave the eight-year-old Keetman a camera. In 1935, the father also sent him to study...

In 1925, China was swept by the May 30th Movement, an anti-imperialist movement in protest against the massacre of the Chinese people by the British police in Shanghai on that date.
