Las fotografías de este Chino-Americano-Inglés criado en México recorren el mundo y nos lo muestran en tonos suaves. Sugieren más que enseñan, evocan mundos brumosos a los que a uno le gustaría poder evadirse de vez en cuando.
Algunas de las imágenes de su anterior trabajo History Images (2004) parecían insinuar las líneas de su trabajo posterior.
The photographs in History Images are of histories, in the form of cities in China, either being destroyed or created at this juncture in time. They are of past histories, in the form of traditional buildings and neighborhoods, urban fabrics, and natural landscapes, in the process of being erased. They are of the absence of histories, in the form of construction sites, built upon an erasure of the past so complete that one would never know a past had ever existed. And they are of the anticipation of future histories, yet to unfold, in the form of newly built cities.

Horizons (2008), su exposición más reciente, tiene que ser fabulosa:
Horizons is an ongoing series of photographs, begun in 2001, that depict expansive views of a broad spectrum of environments throughout the world. The locations of the images may be distant in geography and diverse in subject matter, yet the photographs are linked by a horizon which continues in the same position from image to image. When placed side by side, the images form an extended landscape composed of an accumulation of varied continents, cities, terrains, situations, textures, and colors.
