About Me
Hi, I'm Leslie. I graduated in Computer Science at UBC in Vancouver, Canada a few years ago, and since then I've been living and traveling in Asia. I backpacked around SE Asia for 5 months in 2003, and then I taught English in Yuanlin, Taiwan for two years after that. Now I am currently backpacking through China until around Christmas time, when I will return back to reality in Canada. For now, I love living outside of North America.

Welcome to my site. Currently, I have a daily photoblog with 426 photos, as well as galleries from travels around Asia. I also have a journal about my outings and life in Asia. Thanks so much for looking.

Photography and I
My quest in photography is to show different aspects of culture.
People photography is my favorite, but I also enjoy trying to capture unique shots of temples, landscapes, and everyday life.
That said, I don't know what I'm going to do once I return to North America, the land of bland culture and uptight people.
I enjoy going out for the day and taking hundreds of photos, then coming home and diving into them with Photoshop.
I'm not ashamed to admit that I often use Photoshop, as I feel it's almost as fun as taking the photo itself.
If you have any questions about an image, just leave a comment or email me.
