Bill Radke speaks with Stranger art critic Jen Graves about Seattle photographer Dean Wong, a community activist and chronicler of Chinatown life. Wong primarily takes photographs in Seattle, his hometown, but also frequently documents Chinatowns in Portland and in Vancouver, B.C.

Wong recently published a book of his photographs, titled "Seeing the Light: Four Decades in Chinatown." His pictures can also be seen at Jack Straw Cultural Center until September 2.
