| Friends: Section 039: (PPS version) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2013 based on outstanding photography by my friend Dan Yuan, who became a professional photographer when he retired from a distinguished career in engineering |
| Dan Yuan is primarily a natural landscape photographer based in Orange County, California, USA. He was born and raised in Taiwan, and came to the United States to acquire an advanced degree in engineering. Throughout his studies and working career, photography was a constant passion. After working for many years as an engineer and learning about and practicing fine art photography in his spare time, he decided to retire and pursue photography full time. Most nature photographers are drawn to the art of photography because they are intrigued by the elements of the world that awe and inspire them. Dan has always been drawn to the beauty of nature, and he thinks of his photographs as expressions of the visual feast of the outdoor wilderness. For him, photography is simply a means to capture the natural landscape at its best. He works with 4x5 inch large-format film camera and a digital camera. He hopes that when you view his photographs, they will evoke the same feeling of appreciation for the beauty in nature that he feels.
