something to read

I just came back from a wedding in long beach and it was fantastic. I'll put up pictures later (probably by monday). I'm super tired but I came online to check my email but a story caught my eye, and it was so touching that I had to share it. 

Baojun Yuan is a member of China Senior Photographers Association. He is highly respected by Chinese people. Why? In the past nine years, Mr. Yuan has repaired more than 2000 old photos for residents for free. Course it is not surprising enough if you have no idea about this great man. Mr. Yuan is 76 years old now. He didn’t know Photoshop until his was 60 years old. Mr. Yuan learned repairing skills from a teacher and was soon skilled in it. Considering that repairing old photos is too expensive for most of the residents to afford, Mr. Yuan himself bought a computer and a scanner and began service people without any charge. In his words “my teacher just taught me how to repair the photos, but he forgot to tell me how to charge”.

What a cool guy, I hope i'm that cool when I get older. Here is a link to some of his work, it's really amazing
