I came to America in 1950 and lived in New York's Chinatown for twelve years. It was sort of like my second home town. My third home town is the Poughkeepsie area in the MId-Hudson Valley where I worked at IBM as an electrical engineer for 29 years until retiring in 1993. I enjoyed photography and got my first 35mm SLR in 1960. My main themes are Chinatown, the Hudson Valley and travels.
