I've never set out to be a “photographer.”
I simply use my camera and phone to capture the moments that make me pause.
Photography, to me, is a quiet conversation with the world—
a gentle language for telling everyday stories.
There’s no grand technique here—
Just honest glimpses of the everyday,
the light caught in passing and the softness of ordinary things.
If any of these images bring you a sense of peace or joy,
then that’s more than enough.

Simply put, my life has been a journey of growth and transformation through constant change.
Over twenty-six years, the paths I’ve taken—and the thoughts I’ve held—have shifted repeatedly.
I was born in Taichung, Taiwan, a city I call home,
but much of my life has also been rooted in the mountains of Qingjing.
Between the rhythm of the city and the stillness of the hills,
I’ve learned to move between worlds, finding balance in contrast.
At some point, my path crossed with New Zealand—
a place that quietly made its way into my life and stayed.
Its light, its pace, and its quiet freedom felt like a reflection of the life I had long envisioned.
Now, I’ve returned—ready to continue shaping that vision.
