365 | Reflection :: San Francisco, USA, 2017
I have to admit this third installment of Project 365 was harder than I anticipated. Yet at the end of it all, it was just as rewarding as the first two. The past few years have been filled with adventures, not only in terms of travel, but in terms of personal growth. I don’t think…

139 | Water :: Inle Lake, Myanmar, 2014
When people think of Inle Lake, the image of the fishermen with their nets basking in the early morning light often comes to mind. I have that photo too, except the fisherman was just an actor, and waits around to pose for tourists like me. I found that rather disappointing, but there’s no way to…

008 | Night :: San Francisco, CA, 2012
While not my best photography work, I love this photo of the Valentine’s Day pillow fight one rainy night in San Francisco.

002 | Reflect :: Jiuzhai Valley, China, 2005
I’m planning a China trip next year to visit friends, take care of some business, and show J where I grew up. He’s never been to Asia before, and I’m looking forward to showing him all the natural beauty and rich culture my native country has to offer. I do have to say that I’m…

001 | Reflect :: Louisville, Kentucky, June 2010
In 2010 I was pulled onto a project in Cincinnati, Ohio. The office was in the Central Business District, and everyday during lunch, my coworker and I would walk across the Purple People Bridge to have lunch in Kentucky. One weekend I decided to stay in town and explore, and ended up in Kentucky instead.…
