Daily thoughts... What happened to the world I was once familiar with? Bushfires, flood and virus all seem too real and too close.. We seek posession for our insecurity, deep down we live in fear. We talk about helping others, when things go bad, we show a lack of compassion... P.S. Thoughts from watching people actually fought for toilet papers in a supermarket... Sigh!!! 😣 😣 #dailythoughts #toiletpapers #compassion #coronavirus #challengetime #sigh #greenery #greengrass #scenery #frenchcountry #weekend #日有所思 #感言 #周末 #法國鄉村

Way back when I was 9 years old, I started location scouting after school. I'd organise anyone I knew; from family members to school friends to collaborate on self-styled self portraits with me. I became a published author in my early 20's in Taiwan, but that didn't mean I stopped making my self portraits. I guess I took it to the next level by getting photographers to shoot my self-styled portrait - at the locations I chose. I wrote for young adults, the main publishers I worked for were Morning Star Publishing Inc. and The Theater Publisher Inc. I was also a guest writer and travel journalist for Taiwan's Travel Trend Magazine. Moving back to Sydney in year 2000, I worked as a translator including translated British author Anna Maxted's 'How To Seduce Your Dream Man' ( by Harper Collins Publishers Ltd. )from English to Chinese. My Chinese translation was published by Morning Star Publishing Inc. in 2002. Before I discovered the blog, I could not imagine combining ALL my passions on one platform: self-styling; self portrait; location shoot and writing stories. I have finally found a stage for them all! No matter if I'm writing for one reader or one hundred readers; my dream is fulfilled. Right here, right now!
