Hi, I'm Christine. Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. My dad was a mechanic and handy-man, and my mom is a stay-at-home mom. My parents were Vietnam War refugees and I have 7 siblings.

I love to travel and hike. I've lived in the Netherlands, Colorado, and Los Angeles.

This is my personal blog. I don't write for SEO or to go viral. I chose Bear Blog because it seems like a casual place where I can share and connect, without feeling like everyone's trying to impress each other.

Work

I’ve worked remotely since 2015 and currently do business operations for a shipping and logistics SaaS/API company.

Photography

I’ve been photographing for a long time, but I don't share my photos online. Maybe I'll share them here.

I started in the darkroom with black and white film where I learned everything about manual photography, including patience and focus. I tried DSLRs for a while but those were too heavy to carry around. I switched to a mirrorless camera and have used one ever since.

My photography is inspired by nature, cultures, and fleeting moments.
