Yamashita, a 30-year professional documentary photographer and filmmaker, specializes in topics in Asia.<\/p>\n<p>Yamashita says that the inspiration for this latest folio started in Jiuzhaigou (the Valley of Nine Villages), where crystal-clear waters cascade from glacial peaks into a progression of emerald lakes, ponds, streams and virulets, punctuated by blue-green waterfalls and luxurious vegetation. Yamashita&#8217;s Chinese photographer friends all cite Jiuzhaigou as the most photogenic place in China.<\/p>\n<h2>About the Organization<\/h2>\n<p>Asia Society is the leading educational organization dedicated to promoting mutual understanding and strengthening partnerships among peoples, leaders and institutions of Asia and the United States in a global context.
