the first time i held a camera was as a wee kid of 6. i wanted to snap some shots off the telly when Lassie was showing. i can still remember how disappointed i was when i borrowed my dad's 2 1/4 box camera to see all i got was a large blob of white on the TV screen. i had used flash to shoot it.
lucky for me, when i went to a local chinese studio photographer in my neighbourhood to pose for my identity card, he showed me the "secret how to take TV photos".
after that, i sort of lost interest in photography.
i was more enchanted with girls and football (soccer to those of you in North Am).
it wasn't until the late 80's when i was trying to quit my boring accountancy job that i found an ad to NYI. after graduating, i moved to the capital of canada to freelance in every form of photography.
working as assistant to the top photographers there. i even got to meet the great Yousouf Karsh who is till this day my continuous inspiration to be a great photographer of humanity, which Mr Karsh was so consistently emphasizing, "the greatest works of photography is to capture the essence of humanity".

The only thing i have not done in my career is stock photography. 2 years ago, i was shooting a painter for a photo essay, and she introduced me to stock photography. she used to be an art director.
So here am I.

The story is just beginning for me,
as I still need to make history in becoming a top selling stock photographer. And you, the buyer, is responsible to helping me achieve that.

Thank you in anticipation.

Have a good life .
