Photography

I started capturing what I see and feel through photography as a teenager. Over the years, there have been a few photos that consistently transport me back in time, allowing me to reconnect with the people and landscapes they depict.

  • Chengdu East Railway Station, the beginning point of many journeys for me
  • A biker along the coast of Hong Kong
  • Ancient Tibetan Watch Towers in Danba, Sichuan, China
  • A guarding dog in the Annapurna Region, Nepal
  • The Karst landscape in Lijiang, Guangxi, China
