For most of you who know me, I am a physician and medical researcher. However, besides the disciplined professional life, I also have a wilder side. I am a birder and an amateur photographer. I enjoy being outdoors and spent time doing wildlife/nature photography. In fact, it has been an important part of my spiritual life. While I have published some of my photography work in magazines, newspaper and national park guidebooks, I have never had a truly my own publication. This personal project is an attempt to link my birder life to my professional life. I want to use the proceeds from selling this table calendar to support the Stanford Blood and Marrow Transplantation program and Stanford Cancer Institute.

The calendar (6” x 8.5”) was printed on Light Coated paper using concentric screening technology with 400 lpi resolution.

A Birder and Photographer

There was no turning back after I learned about bird watching in college. I have been an avid birder and an amateur photographer for many years. Being able to witness the beauties of nature has always been an important part of my spiritual life. The unique challenge of bird photography is what engaged me the most. While some of my old photos have been published in different national park guides and magazines in Taiwan, this is the first time I have put together my artwork for a personal project.

I decided to make this calendar a project linking my two lives – that of a cancer physician-scientist, and that of a birder and photographer. I want to share the images that have given me so much joy and raise money to support what I care about the most, furthering novel cancer research and improving patient care.

All of the proceeds generated from this project will be donated to the Stanford BMT Program and the Stanford Cancer Institute. You can find more information about our program at http://bmt.stanford.edu
