The Los Angeles-Chinese Photographic Festival this year is more exciting than ever. First, there are three venues: the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, the China Press in Alhambra, and the Tri-Community Photography Center in Covina. Secondly, there are over 800 pieces of fantastic images by Chinese and American photographers, professional and recreational. They showcase daily lives, cultural values, nature, and many other photojournalistic as well as fine art subjects in China, US and around the world.

I was very honored to have been invited to and joined local and overseas guests at the opening at the Nixon Library today. More exciting was to find my photo "My Baby Brother" being accepted and on display!
