Shih An-ch'uan, from Hsinchu, now 62, and retired last month from the accounting department at the Hsinchu Bus Co., has been taking photographs for more than forty years. His pictures of life in the countryside from the late 1950's are plain and natural and full of rich and honest feeling.
施安全今年六十二歲，新竹市人，月前才由新竹客運會計課退休，拍照已有四十多年歷史了，他在民國四十六年左右所記載的鄉情舊事與街角人物，取景自然而平實，照片中所流露的古拙，敦厚之民間情感，是寫實作品歷久彌醇的基本源由。
