Born in Singapore, living in London. Simon Wheatley began to take photography seriously while living in Budapest in the mid-1990s. In recent years he has focussed on marginalized urban areas, with a particular interest in the issues around regeneration and youth.He has also spent considerable time in Amsterdam where he has photographed the 'liberal' era drawing to an end.
In 2005 he became a nominee member of the renown photo agency Magnum Photos.

"Maybe the most important thing I ever did was get away from England and that idea of having a career as a photojournalist. It's very competitive of course and I don't think that's a healthy environment in which to learn." - Simon Wheatley

PHOTOSHOP PRACTICE: CELL PHONE

It was a homework about practicing using the software again. I think those days we had too much project to do and I didn't sleep well, so I didn't pay much attention to do this work. I drew the cell phone that I am using now, but I drew it too small.
It will be another homework of computer drawing two weeks later, I am really tired of doing these works but I hope I will pay more attention of it.

PHOTOSHOP PRACTICE: MP3

We had a homework on computer drawing class that we have to draw a mp3 by "Photoshop" . Actually I don't know a lot about how to use this software. During doing this homework, I know much about this software, but I still can't use it well. Teacher said that his mp3 I drew was "OK", but I think I didn't do well on this homework. I still have to do many many practices!

PARADISE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY SCHOOL

Happy birthday, Chang Gung University! The big title "CGU 20" on the building cought every body's eyes. Chang Gung University is 20 years now, it is a young school! Actually the anniversary of our school is on April 21st. But I put the photos into my computer yesterday, so I write this article now.

In the morning, Many grandmas and grandpas came to visit our school from the Chang Gung health and culture village. We have to to take care of them, accompany them, and introduce our school for them. The grandpa and grandma I was responsible for are very nice. At first, I am a little nervous because that I didn't know if I can do this job well. But I tried to talk to them and then I found that they are easygoing. We talked about their jobs before, their families, and our interests. I think I was so lucky to have a acquaintanceship with them. and we had a good time.

In the afternoon, it was a singing competition. Our classmates, Howhow and Lyattomn, joined this competition. So we went back in front of the stage. They sang well. Though they didn't get any place, but they are still the best to us.
