Click-Worthy Spaces


Jack's Blog One of the best students I have ever taught, a fellow photographer, and friend.

Jessie's Space A girl with the same name as me and a great eye for beautiful photography.

Sorry, I really don't update this site enough!

For the past two months I have been working as the photographer for the Shenzhen Daily.

For the most part, it has been a good experience. I've been able to travel around the city, taking pictures of interesting (and sometimes not so interesting) things. Although primarily a photographer, I have also been writing for the Travel and Culture pages, which is a new and challenging task.

Here are some of the stories and pictures I am happy with:

Pro skate team tours Shenzhen

Photos bridge the gap between artists

Travel story about Chaozhou

Travel story about Meizhou

Surfing in Xichong

Stay tuned for more!

A Few Favorites

Here are just a few of my favorite shots from this past summer in America. The first is downtown Cape Charles, the small town where I grew up. The natural lighting was perfect. The second one is a picture of my friend's dog looking at my Mac with a "vase" in front of him. The third is a panorama of the beach in Cape Charles. It was made by stitching many vertical images together. The fourth is my good friend Tina (and also my first girlfriend when I was 10! haha) It was a great summer, but I am glad to be back in Shenzhen again, my "home away from home".

Shenzhen Smiles

I've been back in Shenzhen for about a month now, and one thing I have noticed is the sheer number of smiles in this city. It really makes living here a joy for me, and makes each day that much better. I don't know if its because of my big crazy hair, or the fact that I try my best to speak Chinese, but its not hard to find a smile, or get a smile out of people on the streets and in public. This is just one of the many reasons that I love Shenzhen.

Independence Day

Hello!

Xanga is blocked in China so I may start using Spaces more often.

The 4th of July holiday has just passed. It was great - I spent the day selling my photographs of China at the festival on the beach-front in my hometown and then I took pictures of the fireworks for the local newspaper. There are a few below, and here is a gallery of images from the day.

Home Sweet Home

Right now I am living on the Eastern Shore of Virginia - the place where I grew up as a kid. It is beautiful - and so much different from my other home in China. Its quiet and peaceful. There are beaches, farms, and forests. The people are friendly and few. Click here to take a look at life in my true home. I only have a few more weeks to enjoy it before I return to China for a third year...
