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;

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)

I have several favorites lenses among them my Leica Noctilux 50mm and my Older 35mm summilux which is really small and discrete yet offers f1.4 for lots of light and a narrow depth of field.
I upload full resolution photos to Flickr if you use them please provide correct attribution and please include the URL for the photo where possible.
You are welcome to print and hang any of my images with the intention of bringing a little lift to your life.

"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......"31st May, 2007

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.
