Capturing moments from moving cities.

Photography to me is like keeping a diary, I take only the parts worth keeping.

About Me

I grew up in China and have called Vancouver home for over a decade now, long enough that I'm not sure which city taught me to see things the way I do. Before photography, I studied Philosophy and Sociology at UBC, which mostly taught me to ask questions I still don't have answers to. The camera turned out to be a better way of answering them than any essay was.

I take pictures of streets, faces, and cities I've passed through or called home; shot mostly on film, sometimes on digital when the moment moved too fast to wait.

Me and Hooloo, who has opinions about my film choices and no patience for long exposures.
