With Immigrants

Two of many rallies in NYC today. The first one took place in front of the Home Land Security office in an effort to safe a 23-year old "dreamer" from deportation.  The second act was owners closed their restaurants for a day to show solidarity with their workers.

The popular Pure Thai (Hell's Kitchen) went dark tonight to show its support for A Day without Immigrants.

《竇》 同意與否,父母在有生之年、走每一段路,都認為自己有責任「抱」著孩子走的。

這照片是攝影展中最後一幅。感謝每一位為這計劃付出過的家人及朋友。

Fatherhood: Appreciate it or not, our parents are carrying us as long as they are alive. At least, this is how they think.

This is the last image of the photography exhibition. Thanks to everyone who has lent me a hand to make this project happen.

Up: This is a sequel of Faith.  Contrasting to its underlying meaning, viewers can now see that there is a wall on top of the staircase.  Does it mean that we don’t go up? Or, should we at least get up there and try to knock down that wall?
