We decided to take a walk in our very own Seattle Chinatown International District, with the intention of exploring important sites and figures, researching historical impacts, and synthesizing our findings. We have been to Chinatown many times before with friends and family, but even so, this trip was eye-opening, concerning, and inspiring in many ways.

Recollections from a profound conversation we happened upon unintentionally. Read on to hear the history of SunMay Co. and the inspiring story of Donnie Chin. We wish more people knew of his story and hope to share it with you :)

I know they have amazing chemistry together as a couple, but these pictures really captured that.

This is actually a homework assignment for a class in pharmacy school, but I was really feeling my inner art connoisseur writing this piece, so I thought it fitting to share. Enjoy~

Cool sunsets in exchange for sweating our butts off every day we were out in New York. Every sunset was different and I never got bored of taking pictures of them. It’s cool to see how different New York sunsets are from Seattle sunsets!

This set is called “Love in New York” because I was fascinated by the human connections around me that we call love. Yeah, it’s not different in New York than in Seattle, but I wanted to capture love in New York specifically because I was getting tired of taking all the tourist-y pictures of bagels, statues, and buildings.

Reflections about the moment I took this picture.

One of my favorite memories with my friends was when we went to the dunes for a photography event with Viewfinders Seattle. I have never seen dunes in person, and it felt like we were on a whole different planet. But we were in our element. I felt my soul breathing. The dunes did smell like horse poop at night though- I never figured out why. Anyways, here are some pictures.
