Hello There
I’m not sure if anyone still visits personal websites in 2025.
And I’m not sure if a website is still useful anymore.
I no longer update my exhibitions or awards here.
I used to, but not anymore.
To me, that’s just a list without much warmth.
It’s like printing your CV and hanging it on the wall.
Nobody really does that.
But since you clicked “about” and arrived here, thank you.
I’m glad we’ve met.
Formally
MFA in Photography and Related Media, Rochester Institute of Technology
BA in Studio Arts, Cleveland State University
Informally
I like looking at lakes and the sea, so I take photos and make books.
I like listening to waves and trees, so I shoot videos and field recordings,
often collaborating with orchestra musicians.
I like observing and exploring, so I also work with 3D.
My day job is teaching photography and 3D modeling, lighting, and rendering in college.
It doesn’t pay much, so I also work in commercial and editorial photography.
If you ever need a photographer, feel free to reach out.
I’m bald, so I often wear hats. (It’s not meant to be impolite.)
Before photography, I was a Cantonese dim sum chef.
Yes, I still cook very well.
One thing I can tell you:
I already have plenty of exhibitions, grants, and awards.
If you’d like the long version of my CV, just email me.
Thank you for visiting my website.
If you happen to be in Cleveland or Columbus, let me know.
I will buy you a coffee.
