A friend once told me that there was a town in Victoria where they planted lots of deciduous European trees that look extra colorful in Autumn. After knowing this region also boasts a few hatted restaurants and some great local seasonal produce, we decided that a foodies weekend was called for! An indulgence of taste […]
It’s been months since I woke up so early to see the sunrise. White Night Melbourne at 5am was devoid of the usual jam-packed crowd. The balmy summer’s night carried an air of mystery and ethereal quality with the many artistic displays and installations. Occasionally we would lie on the grass or beanbags, watching trippy […]
When Dawei Ye, organizer of events for Fotoholics and photoworkshops.org.au first approached me a month ago, asking if I was interested in giving a guest photography seminar presentation at University of Melbourne, I am glad that I accepted the offer. Yesterday, I presented a 2 hour seminar presentation on people photography in front of an audience of approximately 100 photography […]
Cliff top thoughts In the middle of the night, I woke to the sound of howling wind and it took me a few seconds to realize that I was sleeping in a white Grecian style cave on a sheer cliff top facing the Mediterranean Sea. As I laid there listening to nature’s fury, I thought […]
From Paris we travelled to Tours for 2 days. It was an unique experience exploring the 15th-16th century castles of the Loire Valley, home and playgrounds of French Royalties, famous artists and their lavish lifestyles.

Beautiful faces, strange places, Majestic buildings sprawl as far as the eye can see, […]
Life isn’t about how many breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away. I have stopped sleeping inside. A house is too small, too confining. I want the whole world, and the stars, too. (Sue Hubbell, 1986) View from Mt Fuji, 9pm The Mt Fuji Climb It was an easy […]
Here I am in Paris! The 5 days I spent in Paris was probably my favorite time in Europe. It was a time for solo reflection and doing things entirely on my own terms. The bus stopped outside a Parisian terminal at the crack of dawn. Through my groggy state of little sleep from the […]
Fiery colors begin their yearly conquest of the hills, propelled by the autumn winds. Fall is the artist. The following photos were all taken during my favourite season. Some from outings with friends and some from engagement shoots: Credit of this photo goes to Daniel, who saw the beautiful carpet of leaves covering my backyard. […]
Dan gave me challenge before I visited my hometown Fuqin: to photograph everything in black and white with a single lens only. So I did. Behind every photo there is a small story to tell. Here’s a slice of my story… Time has definitely passed on. Every time I returned, there would be a time […]
