The other day, while looking through some old family photo scans, i came across with this childhood memory of my first contact point in photography, i was holding this film roll case, I dont quite remember what was in it at that time.
During my childhood my parents liked to take family pictures just like any other families, but when i look at our family pictures the images show more of a story than just snapshots. There is a feeling, an emotion while at the same time they show conflicting identity times. In those times my family was living in a totally alienated environment, being the first Chinese family in Cancun we together faced all the elements and barriers such as language, cultural and social difference in order to make a living and a prosperous family.
Being born and raised in Cancun was a strange but yet exquisite mix for me, it provided the means for me to interface between the Mexican and Chinese culture. Ever since i left my native home to Hong Kong and explore the world i have become more of a observer, of cultures, landscapes, traditions, and most importantly people. These observations have provided me with a unique eye on photography allowing me to produce unique perspectives.
Over time, during my studies i have struggled to identify myself in a field where best fitted me. With no specific interest or reason, i started photography as a means to share to the world my views and perspectives. Later on photography transformed into a passion. The more i captured the more i became entangled with. For now, all i can say is that only my imagination, my eyes and time will tell my future in this passionate field.
