    Hi, everyone. It's been awhile since I blogged. There are new direction in my life happened. I waited when all dust settled before sharing with you.

    Last year, I quitted my art director job in the broadcast/motion graphics design world (12 years) to pursuit a career change as fashion photographer. I packed my luggage and headed to HK, Shanghai, Bangkok, etc. Shooting for fashion mags, directing commercials and corp videos. After 9 months of non-stop jetsetting between HK and NY. I finally come back to the lovely NY in the late summer where I always feel I truly belong. Fast forward a couple of months with many options and career paths presented in front of me. I got offered a position as an art director for a high-end fashion photography post house. Ideally, I am more suited for freelance lifestyle and also desire working as a photographer. But this job is simply too good not to consider seriously. They called me on Friday (before Thanksgiving), interviewed on Friday end of day, got woken up on monday morning phonecall to make me an offer. The company is called Impact Digital (www.impactdigital.com). It's the number one retouch house in this country and number one in the world in digital capturing facilities. I am currently overseeing retouch department and starting a CG team. Responsibilty is expanding as days go by. Located in the old AT&T building in Tribeca. 360 degree view of NY (it's ridiculous!!!!). Clients are Victoria's Secret, Armani, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Numero, V magazine, Estee Lauder...We have studios in Miami, LA and Brooklyn. Working on all these V's Secret new campaign and in-store display are seriously good for my health!!! :-P

    So this is why I have been MIA for awhile.

    Quinn, you back in HK now for good? I don't think I will be back in HK anytime soon even I miss my friends deeply! This job is almost tailor-made for me. Too good to describe in words.

    Thanks, Ivy, Chris, Pat, Bam, Chung, Thomas, Marie, Jayson.

    Wouldn't V's Secret lower your life expectancy by raising your average heartbeats-per-day?

    You sound very excited about this job.  I think you made the right choice.  When it is time to move on/change, you'll know.  But for right now, you sound like you're right where you're supposed to be.
