TIZ featured on The Other Asians


[The Other Asians] is an online magazine, established in February 2011, which centers on the diverse and multi-generational Asian American community. They aim to showcase current and up-and-coming Asian Americans in careers outside of the traditional, cultural, and conventional realms.

Melly, one of the core members of OA, contacted me via email a just a few weeks ago to arrange an interview. Here’s what went down:

↑ The conversation took place at a Vietnamese restaurant recommended by Benny down at South San Francisco area. 

After a good 7 hour drive from Irvine (they took off at 5 in the morning), we met to get things rolling. They had a jam packed schedule and I was the first of their many meetings. Pressure’s on me.

 [Melly’s] a super talented photographer and [Benny’s] a marketing guru. It’s motivating to see different creatives coming together to dedicate their time on meaningful projects like the OA.


Time flew by really quickly. [Here’s what summed up the 2 hour convo]

Picture time.

Melly only shoots with prime lenses. Here’s the 85mm, I believe. She’s also got a 100mm on the go.

Byron, Benny’s brother, and Adrienne came to help out, too!
