How I did it: This was a great goal. I bought a Canon DSLR three years ago and took it out every chance I could.

I also started a blog for photographers in Taiwan and encouraged them to post their photos, thoughts, and comments. Within a year, we were holding regular photography meet-ups with photographers of all calibers and interests in attendance. I learned a lot from this experience.

It took me two years to get my photos published. These days, I find work as an editorial photographer in Asia. I've been published in Travel + Leisure Asia, Unearthing Asia, and Hip Compass Escapes travel magazine.
