I made this photograph at Kam Wah Chung, a historic Chinese apothecary in eastern Oregon. Chinese medicine doctor (Ing “Doc” Hay) opened KWC in 1888 and served the gold-mining community there for about 50 years. Sometime after his death, it was shuttered and largely forgotten about. When surveyors opened the doors in 1967, they found a remarkable time capsule of herbal medicines. The red paper in the center is a traditional blessing welcoming abundance. It’s pasted on a door, as is customary in China. Each print is unique, with fingerprints added in gold pigment. Click image to enlarge.
