My whole life, I dreamed of becoming a novelist but somehow ended up as a photographer. I was born in Boston, Massachusetts to Korean immigrants who tell me that Boston was quite possibly the most racist place for an Asian immigrant to land in the 70's. We left Boston when I was hardly 1 and I lived in and around New York City (Queens, Manhattan, Long Island, Brooklyn, New Jersey) ever since. I'll always refer to New York as "home" no matter where I end up.

In the fall of 2005, I packed up my camera (and some clothes) and moved to Hong Kong. Really, just like that. I had never been to Asia before and I figured moving there would be the best way to experience it completely. That experiment turned into a 2 year stay. I hate planes and hotels but have spent the better portion of 2007 on planes and in hotels.

People tend to look at my client list more than they look at my actual work sometimes. If it were up to me, my portfolio and website would consist of vacation pictures and my personal photo album. I think it's my better work and far more engaging.
