In May 2018, Chiayi city of Taiwan was holding disabled athlete sports games, which is like Paralympics on a small scale. These sports games aim to encourage people with disabilities to go outdoors and have a healthier life. Disabled people need to work out to prevent their bodies from degenerating faster. People with disabilities have a very hard time physically, mentally and emotionally to adjust themselves to daily life. When I photographed those disabled athletes, I caught some vulnerable eyes. Wish this kind of sports games could be held more often worldwide.

I consider myself visual and multicultural. Currently, I live in Taipei, Taiwan, I have lived in the US for about 25 years in the past. My years living in or traveling to different countries gave me multicultural perspectives, experienced numerous aesthetics, and helped me explore the world with an open mind. My interest in photography is broad, ranging from sports, drones, landscapes, events, portraits, wildlife photography, astrophotography, etc. to photo post-processing.
