Mike Chong's photostream  

I grew up in the small(ish) town of Miri, Malaysia. At 15 years of age we moved to Christchurch, New Zealand where I finished high-school and my undergraduate degree. I then moved to Sydney, Australia where I pursued and recently completed my postgraduate studies.

My love of photography perhaps began while admiring the countless stunning images in the National Geographic mags that my Dad subscribed to when I was a kid. While I did not take up photography seriously, I remember secretly playing with my Dad's old Canon EOS650. My interest in photography was revived when I bought a Canon G3 in 2002. I have since moved up to a Canon 350D, then a Canon 40D, and now my new baby, a Canon 5D Mark II ;).

I still have a lot to learn about photography and I hope I can improve by sharing my work with all the good people on flickr. Enjoy, and feel free to comment!

Some of my previous work can be found at my deviantart page. I may one day get around to adding some of my old photos to flickr :P

You can purchase prints of my work on RedBubble. I'm slowly adding photos, so if there is a photo you'd like, but it's not yet up on RedBubble, let me know and I'll put it up ASAP :)
