A photography artist with a Ph.D. in computer science specialized in computer graphics and geometric modeling. I worked for IBM Research and other high-tech companies in my early career, then moved to management consulting, as a chief architect in enterprise architecture. Photography is my new endeavor in recent years, which could be a natural extension from my hobby and talent in painting at younger age. My dancing experience may serve as another artistic spin. I like to catch the essence and soul of the objects that interest me and talk back in my language and expression. Photography is a way of communication between me and the world around me.
