What Is the Objective of this Site?
In my leisure time, I enjoy photography, cooking, and art. I’ve always wanted to keep up a personal site that I can enjoy as a pet project. Inspired by some of my friends who shared the same passion, I decided to try committing to this. It is the combination of my technology, photography, and cooking passion that brings this site together. I hope you enjoy my site as much as I like putting it together.
A LITTLE BACKGROUND
Photography
My love for photography started when digital cameras became affordable and popular. I started with a 2.1-mega pixel Canon Powershot S110, upgraded it to a 6-mega pixel Canon Powershot SD630 with the 3″ LCD screen, and now, I have a Nikon D90 DSLR. Even though photography is not my career, I love everything about it and dream that one day I can capture beautiful pictures for others as well.
Cooking Background
My love for cooking started when I was in college. During my childhood years, I hardly cooked. My family was in the restaurant business and I grew up eating chinese take outs. When I was in college, I asked my mom to teach me how to cook. My mom and dad were great cooks. My mom taught me how to cook Shrimp in Lobster Sauce (one of my favorite dish) at my mom’s restaurant. Since then, I’ve learned a number of dishes from my parents and have been fascinated by the art and science of cooking. I’ve always created dishes in my head or guess how certain dishes are cooked. Now, that I’m in my 30s, I’ve journey into healthy cooking and healthy living. I’ve joined Weight Watchers to help lose some weight. It not only helped me do that but I’ve fell in love with cooking again. This time, the challenge is to create great tasting food with a healthy twist.
