I am a new member of the Cathay Camera Club and a novice at the art of photography. I became interested in photography as a way to record my travels in order to share them with friends and family. As I take more photos I find that I no longer have shots that make sense only within the context of my experiences but pictures that tell a story on their own.

Full of enthusiasm on photography. Constantly go out for photo taking with my wife during weekend, and have accumulated more than seventy thousand photos in my iPhoto library. Landscape, trees, birds, insects, village, people are all my interested subjects. I chose trees here for display because I do find trees fascinated. From the top to the root, the trees display their particularly attractive forms in their own way. No tree replicates the other. They are in the wild to be discovered.

I made the jump from film to digital photography in 2002 after using B/W and colour film + slides. Digital and especially RAW mode gives me almost full control of the picture taking and processing workflow. (Very few of my images are ever printed) My profession as an architect and my passion for travel led to architectural and landscape photography. Portraits and macro (flowers) are also my favorites. I joined the Club recently with the hope of improving my skills from mere recording to expression through images.

Many of my close friends are photographers. I think it's important to engage with others who have common goals and dedication for photography. By having conversations about project ideas, getting feedback on work or simply supporting each other's, you learn from different perspectives. These interactions have been crucial in developing as a photographer for me. I am interested in the power of street photography which bears witness to memory, the passage of time and the ideas of changes and coming back to see them. My work is very personal. I try to produce images to get in a dialogue with the viewer. Portrait and fashion is another side I am interested in. I tend to challenge myself with different light situations - natural or artificial, trying to make the best of everything and putting my spin on it.

Photography is the tool, not the camera.

I like photo made which is desire practice as metonymy and metaphor. Conceptual visual image and ideas produced always originate from my mind and inspiration , and then, I work out a way to illustrate that in my photo. “The photographic image is a message without a code” quote by Roland Barthes 1980.

When digital photography came along, I think I’m a little bit fond of post-production of my pictures. I don’t care if they are heavily manipulated. Everyone has his / her own taste. Photography is an art & art is artificial.
