I on the other hand am a great fan of your photography. I do wish you posted to your blog more often – but that’s just a wishlist item. It looks like your most recent blog entry is July 2012.

You’re one of my inspiration after I watched National Geographic : Adventure photography (Through the lens) while I was doing my research career project for school. Thank you for sharing your expression through the lens. I hope one day I can achieve my goal to be a professional photographer like you are.

Nevada,
I read a one page write-up of yours in a book I gave away on photography. Your advice (in my words) was to engage strangers first in conversation and then take their photograph. Your advice is working.
Thank you so much.

All I really have to say it that your photos just, suck… I mean, take pictures that aren’t just little Asian people. Really… I know your creative, so show it.
Thanks.
