I love photography, but I am not a professional photographer; and yet, I consider myself a good photographer. I am a former professor, musician, videographer, photographer, minister, husband and father. I am a Canadian living in Vancouver.

I was born and raised in Hong Kong. In 1982, I came to Toronto as an international student. My goal was to pursue a university degree. At the time, I planned to return to Hong Kong upon graduation and to start high school teaching. I earned my university degree no problem, but I didn't returned to Hong Kong. I settled as a citizen in Canada. Of course, it didn't happened overnight! 

I have a full-time job to keep me alive. Often, I wonder: Should I pursue a career in photography? If I ask this question earlier in my life, I most likely say I will. But I am not a guy who have good skills in handling the business side of things. I am happy to be a committed hobbyist.

I shot with film when I was a teenager using my father's Rolleiflex SLR camera. But the true  journey began in the year 2000 when I went and pursued a doctorate at Columbia University, New York City.  As a young professor soon after that, I felt the need to do something else in my spare time that was different from academic life. I re-picked up photography.

To me, photography is an art form that inspires imagination, provokes justice, and it invites us to fall in love with the world. It is a spiritual practice, an interpretative art. It has no fixed boundaries. It is about ways of interpreting the world and the art of telling stories. 

The photographs in this website represent over 10 years of learning and experimenting with different genre of photography. They were taken with Nikon D90, D800, D850; Fuji XT20, XT3, XT4, XH1, 100V and GFX50R.
