About cc Koh: Walking down the city, I
see life, through the lens. As an engineer, I work among numbers and formulas.
Only through photography, I could share my passion of life with audience. Though
it¨s only a thousand more days I live with photography, it is to be sure, a part
of my life. Even if I am still far away to be called professional, it has been
already a bound between reality and dream; a tie, between the audience and I.
Living in topsy-turvy world, I am glad my camera is still in my hand.
