黑与白

A series of B&W series of photo when I wandering on the street of Dalian@China.

Make a turn at the famous tourist spot and there is a small street, the one that hide under the shadow of concrete wall, left-out from the trend of economic growth.

Celebrating KY & XN

Another wedding trip to China, as a friend and as a Uncle Bob kind of photographer.

I played my role well, get out of the real photographer & videographer way, when they are in business. I put my camera down and observed - how the pros run their show.

I definitely missed out a lot of important scene, but what more important than being there and gave them my best wishes?

I would say, this was a very touching ceremony, I myself was trying hard to prevent my tear from dropping too. And this is the moment I think value the most in a wedding.

A big congratulation to KY & XN again. Thanks for having me there and all the best for the brand new journey as husband & wife.

Anticipation

We anticipate a lot of things in our life.

A better career, a great relationship, a caring friend, and the list go on.

And there is a time, you know, when you step out of the doorstep, your entire life will be changing.

This is the moment, I think most of the groom shared. The anticipation mixed with anxiety, a women you love is soon be your loving wife.

Congratulation, my friend!

A Trip to China - months ago

Tired and worn out. Nothing but only writing essay about myself and why the "company" should hire me bla bla bla. I guess "me" is the hardest thing to understand, despite spending every 24/7/365 of 25 years with. The war to make up my mind, and to impress the people in HR will still last for months...

Put away the trouble, I again dive into my own photography world. This is another travel log of me, a research trip to China last year. A visit to a field project run in China to reinstall forestland with Eucommia. Research has been carried to use the tree as raw material for industrial purpose, and how to create a healthy zero emission eco-system with it. Field data are collected to assess the potential amount of CO2 reduction and other co-benefits of this project.

Beside works, there also time for travelling. The most exciting part is that we were able to make a brief stop at Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang in Xi'an, Shaanxi province. Looking at the sea of armies, you can't denied that it is really a big piece of art, and how amazing human creation can be. On the other hand, it was also hard to imagine how much effort had been put into building an underground empier. How many life it cost, and how many forest had been burned down.

Some images to share here. Hope you enjoy and more thanks.

I was snowing heavily a day before we took the flight, it was pretty looking down high above the sky.

Typical lunch prepared by the kitchen of the rubber factory we visited. And the villages are set to go to harvest the seed of Eucommia.
