- As tourist numbers in Ecuador increase, access improves to isolated regions such as Laguna Quilitoa, perched in the Andes at nearly 4,000m above sea level. The influx of humans allows another species access to these once-remote regions – wild and stray dogs.

- These performers can be found all over Hong Kong. Dangling thirty floors up, straddled between bamboo poles without a safety line or inspiring music. What they lack in lavish costumes, they make up for in pure guts.

- When we finished kayaking and diving, the beauty scenery was coming. The light was so warm, but I feel cool at the time. Cause I didn't wear my clothes, just finished excited diving.

- "Sound of Silence"
- field_caption
- Silence... nothing was audible except for the wind, the breathing, the space and the echo of silence. Infinitude... only the boat was audible, which was leaving traces of past time by reminding me of the last tear that dropped that day, through the cheek of the beautiful face of the man whom I loved and still love. The sound of the boat was audible, the echo of which was minimized by the grandiosity of that mute and deaf beauty... the fog, gray, breathing space, one could feel that everything was being dissolved, like a candle, into the calm of the noise of silence.

- Matterhorn: Afternoon Clouds
- field_caption
- I have been around Zermatt countless times, the village nestled at the foot of the Matterhorn (4,478 m) in the Pennine Alps, looking toward the mountains and trying to capture exquisiteness of this magical peak and its endless state of change. I'd like my images to compress the passing of time – the beauty of the wind and the clouds dancing around the mountain. I feel the privilege of being there.
