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.

comfort

“In religion, as in war and everything else, comfort is the one thing you cannot get by looking for it. If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end: if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth – only soft soap and wishful thinking to being with...

communication

(i finished typing this and thought of James Cho. studying communication. be gentle
I don’t think I’ve ever fully comprehended how much is lost in translation from language to language till I started shooting my documentary project in Chinatown. I tried translating some of the conversations to des, only to find that there were...
