Bill Liao - View my most interesting photos on Flickriver

Welcome! :-)

As a photographic artist I have had photography as a passion for over 30 years since I caught the shutter bug off of dad who is Chinese and also a photographer by passion.

I am a philanthropist investing in both www.neo.org and www.thp.org and I am an investor in people. For business I am also the Co-Founder of an international business network www.xing.com

The Hunger Project
Has led me on several investor trips and you can see my photos from those trips here;
www.flickr.com/photos/transformation/
And read of my experiences liaonet.blogspot.com

Please find my favourite photos Here; www.flickr.com/photos/liao/sets/72057594093847603/

Capturing the "atmo" of a moment is my passion so available light is my friend thus I have a Leica M8 digital rangefinder and the following lenses. (I also have a Sony 24 meg Alpha 900 with some Zeiss Prime 150mm f1.4 and zoom 16-70mm f3.5 glass)

    "Bill

    I am not aware that he is a member of our common group Open BC or Xing social networking, until I browse his profile here.

    Bill is a man with the charity heart, he not only sharing his work with us here, he also contribute his great work to the help of those less fortunate people.

    That is a kind of great attitude we all can learn from.

    On his exhibits here, I must say that he have his own style & unique feature!!

    You are great Bill.

    I appreciate your everything......"

    "Visit Bill Liao's flickr page to see "The World Through Bill's Eyes and Leica Lens." You will find interesting scenes from around the world and wonderful scenes from the country side around Bill's home in Appenzell, Switzerland. A look through the his sets "Best Work :-)", "Worth a browse", and "Your Favorites" reveals that Bill is an excellent photographer with a keen eye for spotting a good photo opportunity. It is an honor and privilege to know Bill because he is a concerned and involved citizen of the world who takes action to help those less fortunate than himself."
