My trip to Galapagos has given me not only an unique birding
experience in a very remote destination but also unexpected
opportunities afterward. I had chances of presenting my experience
there in different media and letting people understand my passion in
bird photography. With my photos shown here, I become known to
some people living in another corner of the World.
It is quite hard
to believe, almost 5 years after the trip, that my photos taken in
Galapagos can still attract people visiting my album and Sora is one
of them. What makes me surprised is her message sent from
Galapagos asking for permission of using my photos. I am lucky
and it is not uncommon for me to have others' appreciation of my
photography work as well as my passion. However, it may be the first
time that my photos are used as a reference for painting and, at the
same time, advanced permission is requested. I highly
appreciate Sora for her selection of my photos from her artistic
eyes but also her respect to me & my photography work, which I think
is rare in the internet world nowadays. Upon her completion, I
am honour to have her permission, in return, of showing her
beautiful watercolour paintings in my album, which highly enrich the colour
of my album. Her paintings with her passion of connecting to the
Nature can be seen from
here.
