I am an Australian Male who is married and lives in Beijing. I speak fairly good Mandarin and of course English.
I am an entrepreneur who started an IT business here with friends a few years ago. I have now been living in China for just on 8 years.
I started with an Instamatic 133 camera as a kid and after a long break (13 years!) just got back into my hobby. I keep to Tri-X and film for my Black and White street stalking - which I do almost all the time.

| | You've got amazing street photos, I only wish that I some day can learn to produce like this. Amazing. |
| | Hi richard. First of all congrats on your pics. They are wonderful! Infact I would like to add a couple of them to my favorites, but i don't manage to do so. Sorry but it is my first day and I still need to learn a couple of things. |
 | Thank you Richard for adding my first picture to favorites. I was so impressed of your work that I bought TMAX 400 film and set it to 800. Now I can't wait to shoot it! |

I love the way you capture the essence of a city by seemingly random shot. pictures taken in hongkong and beijing are particularly familiar to me. really appreciate your excellent work |
| | wrote at 19:39 on September 27th, 2008 Richard, thanks for inviting me to be an OE friend. I find you work interesting and your visual perspectives unique. I'll enjoy following your work. I also need to mention that the tonality of your pieces suit my tastes very well. |
