Quidi Vidi Plantation is a Newfoundland art studio set up for craft artists. I took this photo at night when a leather craft artist, Stephen, was still working in his studio. I showed this photo to hard-working Stephen later, and he liked it a lot.

I left my home in Asia and came to Newfoundland Canada three years ago as an international student. During the past three years, I have not only found my new home in Newfoundland, but also my muse. Newfoundland is the inspiration for my photography. Robert Tilley, a -73-year-old true and born Newfoundlander, is the first friend I made when I come to Newfoundland, and now he has become my best friend. Robert and I have traveled most parts of Newfoundland, and he appears in many of my photos as a model.
