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!
