First of all, my personal favorite photography quotes:

"This is a colorful world, and my photography reflects it."

"To me, photography means being in the right place at the right time!"

"Buying a better camera doesn't buy you a better picture!"

My passion, or most interested field, of photography is on landscape/seascape/cityscape. I enjoy the feeling of being alone all by myself in the middle of nowhere before sunrise or sunset, searching for the best composition, and the perfect light, and patiently wait for a long exposure shot to emerge. Besides landscape photography, I also like to play with the depth of field in macro photos, or make some funny, wimpy photos out of my little Danbo character. However, there is always one thing in common in my photos regardless the subjects. That is they are mostly a very colorful images. I guess that is my “style” as I always said, “This is a colorful world, and I want my photography reflects it.” But lately, I begin shooting some B&W photos too as I believe they could also deliver a very bold, and powerful message.

I consider myself a photographer, not a Photoshop master. I tried to achieve my vision in-camera instead of relying on post-processing. My belief is you just cannot replace real clouds or water movement during long exposure, or a shallow DoF & beautiful bokeh using wide open aperture, or a real Grad ND filter to balance the sky and the foreground in a digital darkroom.

BTW, I thank you for all the views, comments, and faves! I really really do appreciated!! =)

And I also thank you for adding me to your contact too! It means a lot to me as it probably means you like my photography! I'll stop by and check out your profile & photostream. However, please don't be offended if I don't add you back as my contact right away! I try to keep up with all my contact's upload, and due to the limitation of my time, I try to keep my contact list in a manageable size. Therefore, unless you have a very decent photostream or a very frequent commentator of mine, chances are I might not be able to add you back as my contact.

My photos have been featured on many web sites, blogs, and magazines. If you are interested in purchasing commercial licenses, prints, or canvas, please send me an email/flickrmail for a quote. All of my prints are professionally printed, and I only use Kodak professional photo paper in size up to 24"x36" poster size.

Below is an example of a 24"x36" poster size printed on Kodak Metallic paper.
