ABOUT ME
As a Chinese citizen and Australian permanent resident, I primarily live in Melbourne with my family. After graduation, I worked as an assistant engineer for five years at a state-owned machinery factory in China. I then held technical and quality management positions at foreign-owned electronics factories (from the United States and Hong Kong). After that, I ran a small business in China selling computers and related accessories for 16 years. Since 2010, I have run a retail store in Melbourne for 15 years, which has now closed. My personal interests include computer programming, photography, and playing chess and Go.
Photography is my hobby. I don't care much about the sheer quality of a photo; I prefer a documentary quality. I value the meaning of a photo more than the quality of the image. I don't need high-end equipment. While I've spent a lot of money on a number of lenses, most of them are secondhand and quite ordinary. Technique is more important than equipment.
This website is for storing and displaying my photos. I wrote all the code myself, using only Notepad for HTML, without any frameworks or tools.
