David Lai Blog bio picture

hi

it's pretty awkward when you meet people the first time, right?

when we're surrounded by privatization of society, i hope that this blog will do the opposite with who i am.

i am a brother

i am a son

i am a friend

i am a photographer

i am someone who simply wants to share. be it simply my photography, to my life, to my soul.


i hope to see you on the day you choose to say "I DO" staring into the eyes of someone you're committing to love forever. someone you've shared you're darkest days, and greatest moments with. someone who has made you cry the hardest and laugh the loudest.

your wedding day will be the worst day of your marriage... because everyday after, you'll grow closer, learning to love each other more and more.

love is not merely a feeling, but an action, that of the will.

I’m shooting as discretely as possible inside these morning dim sum places as the culture of this older generation of Chinese folks are relaxed and talking story.  In the process of working on this documentary project involving Chinatown, I figured to document some things that happen while shooting. So in the midst of...

Words. Reality.

I haven’t been feeling this ‘want,’ persay, to post up any images. It’s been a time to just reevaluate, and rethink the philosophies of which one works. Being a believer of Christ or not, we all believe in something. We all live by some philosophy. Many of which I’ve found are created by the social...
