Hope you can make it to the opening of a new exhibit, From Fields to Family, at the Wing. It’s going to be a sensational exhibit on Asian Pacific Americans and food and they’ll be featuring five of my prints in the exhibit!

Silent Auction photo curator Corky Lee has collected less than 20 prints. We usually have on display about 60 images. We can’t make much scholarship money with only 20 prints.

This is my second call for your donation of an auction photo(s). Corky Lee needs your donation by the end of June. 100 per cent of the money from auction go directly into the pocket of AAJA photo scholarships. Your donation is also tax deductible.

Through the generous support of the Ford Foundation, the Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) is pleased to announce the Professional Training Fellowship & Chapter Initiative.
