What People Say "Like everyone else, I simply am deeply impressed by your most splendid artistic and poetic cross-cultural imageries." - Dr Ming Chan \| Hoover Fellow \| Stanford University "Really impressed. The images are crisp with bold compositional elements and saturated colors that jump off the page..." - Jeffery Luhn \| Professional Photographer \| San Francisco Bay Area "Your photos made me skip a heartbeat... They're gorgeous!" - Stella Chow \| Investment Banker \| Hong Kong More on What People Say A Selection of Photos on Display Caravan The rolling gait of the camels is hypnotic. At daybreak, one caravan casts long shadows over the sand, painted orange by the sun, while another treads slowly across the distant dunes. The Sahara, steeped in myths and legends, is the dream destination of many a romantic adventurer. I was mesmerized by the powdery fine sand dunes with their ever-changing color and shape while painted by the sun and sculpted by the wind.
