Christopher Francis Chong Song Chye

Actually, I won't tell you everything about me. Only my mother, wife and God know everything. But I can give you a brief summery...

• I was born and raised a Catholic in the tropical country of Singapore. (no it's not somewhere in China. Please check your atlas.)
• That wonderful day was August 13th 1975.
• Did a whold bunch of stuff until Summer of 89. (like meeting my future wife in sunday school)
• When I arrived in Beautiful British Columbia, Canada.
• Did more stuff like going to high school and being a good kid. (generally speaking :)
• Later went back to Spore to spend 3 years in the Singapore Armed Forces.
• Married my lovely wife Fiona in 95.
• Help her give birth to Xavier, our son. ("breath...breath...breath..." for 10 and a half hours is pretty exhausting:)
• Currently halfway through my studies towards a Batchlors of Fine Arts.
• Hoping to do professional photography. (did you checkout my on-line gallery?)
• But will gladly do newspaper routes for extra cash...

I know that's not much of a story, but I'm happy and that's all that really matters!

Here are some other things you might or might not want to know...

• I drive an 89 Ford F-150, with a gas guzzling V8 in it.
• I'm racially Chinese.
• But mainly Canadian.
• I like black and white photography, the Macintosh computer, Japanese animation, retro music and chicken rice.
• I really love my wife and bestest friend Fiona.
• I would like a bank account with at least a constast 4 digits in it. (not including the decimal places)
• I'm left handed.
• My parents live in the next town.
• I also enjoy reading the adventures of Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot.
• I would like my prints to be as technically superiour as those of Ansel Adams.
• I own a Power Macintosh 200MHz.
• I had a Mac LC running at 16MHz.
• I think art in general is too complicated, and we should stick to the aesthetics of form and material instead of over-rated socal comments.
• I dislike Bill Gates and his way of doing business. SMACK!

That's all I can think of right now. I add to it as I go along I guess. Cheerio!
