Why so series on my brief artist intro? I hate writing those boring artist intro as nobody would really care about how great you wrote those stereotypical paragraph. Simply to say that, Mike does everything he's interested in. He carries his camera every single day and captures the screen he's been attracted to. So on, you will see his works in different aspects. Mike loves travelling. You'll see bunch of shots he took during his trips from Asia to America, from Japan to Canada, from Kyoto to Montreal. Briefly I'll introduce myself as a photo artist and documentary photography, as I've mentioned above.
