In fact, Mother Earth was best role model for guiding us to stay healthy, with daily exercise, and to avoid falling into victim of another statistic.

▌John Hsu
After taking pictures for many years. I have realized that the ideal photo-art picture is water image.
To differentiate from most other water image photos, my photos are comprised entirely of water image, in absence of real object. While this provides a vast water image of sky as outstanding background for desired composition, and creation of painting-like photo. Because water wave is like unique stroke of painter's brush.
John holds B.S. in Agricultural Chemistry and M.S. in Food Science. He had worked 32 years for the Nestle Co. as a food technologist and obtained 24 patents. He has two life-long hobbies.
One is watching baseball and the other is photography. He has published 8 baseball books in Taiwan and 1 baseball article in The New York Times.
Two of his baseball books are kept in Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown in New York. He has published 8 photo books, 7 of them are water image photos. One of his photos (“Labyrinth – Goodspeed Opera House”) won the Best Photography Award at New Britain Museum of American Art. He had 23 solo exhibitions in Connecticut.
