For An, photography was the beginning of her entry into the art. She carries her camera with her everywhere in every day, in subways, up avenues, down freeways and all around. On her personal blog, she regularly posts photo essays with her most recent photography and digital art projects, alongside personal life updates and general thoughts about the emerging 21st century culture. Many of the photos from her blog eventually make it into formal series, while many serve as personal notes for future art and design projects. Click to view her blog or just the photo essays.
