Promised my colleague Cathy to take pictures of her daughter months ago. The day finally came when Liana was already a 15-month old adorable little girl. My first time taking pictures of baby. Tough assignment, still a lot to learn, but definitely great fun! Pictures took on March 17, 2012 in Hong Kong.

This photo album is dedicated to Bujima, mother of this three-year old little Mongolian monster. All pictures were taken during 2011 summer, when we spent a week with Amina, mainly at her home in Ulaanbaatar, and a short expedition to Tereji.

In early April, Cherry trees blossomed in Tokyo, signaling the arrival of spring. I found this year's cherry blossom festival particularly meaningful to me and to the country that is still struggling to recover from its worst earthquake in history and a nuclear crisis. All pictures were taken between April 9-11, 2011, one month after the quake.

It takes time to build the trust with Tibetan people. They were cheated, harmed and trained to be suspicious. But once you opened a dialogue with them, usually by a smile or a beer, you can feel how sincere and simple they actually are. Taken in various random locations in Tibet, May 2010.

In this highly touristic Chinese province, I was very lucky to have met these genuine faces that informed, inspired and intrigued me in many ways. Taken in Chengdu, Leshan and Emei in May 2010.

Ella Fitzgerald & Duke Ellington's version of "It don't mean a thing" is one of my all-time favorites, so as this small Jazz bar, Ned Kelly's Last Stands, in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. Taken in 2009.

Hong Kong is said to be "a city that never sleeps". And Dai Pai Dong, or street restaurant, is a perfect illustration of how vibrant the small town is even during midnight. Taken in 2009 at Sing Kee, Stanley Street, Central, Hong Kong.
