As a retiree, Dr. Sing H. Lin find joy in his hobbies of traveling, sightseeing, wildlife watching and photography.
He builds this Travelogue website for the purpose of sharing such joy with his friends and other people all over
the world.

Another reason for this Travelogue website came from a lunch conversation with several retiree friends. An
older guy in this retiree group said that in his recent 2-week sightseeing trip, by the end of the second week, he
had already forgotten a lot of details of what he saw and did in the first week. So, he said that we should take
a lot of pictures in our sightseeing trips so that we do not forget those beautiful scenery and joy so fast.

A more detailed explanation of his motivation for building this Travelogue website is at the following web page:

The Annual Photography Conference sponsored by the New England Camera Club usually takes place in July
on the campus of the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, Massachusetts, USA. I attended such Annual
Photography Conference 3 times in 3 previous years. The website of this Photography Conference is at:

It is a two-and-half day conference attended by several hundred people with common strong interest in
photography. There are several presentation sessions going on simultaneously in several different conference
rooms in several different buildings on the campus throughout the 2.5 days of conference. Most speakers are
world famous expert professional photographers presenting various photography techniques or their life-long
collection of superb photos accompanied by very nice music. The climax of the Conference is the special
multimedia presentation by a world famous photographer in a huge auditorium with huge screen and wonderful
sound system on the Saturday evening where several hundred audience all come together. Many photo
manufacturers also have their booths outside of the conference rooms to show and sell many interesting and
useful photography products.

It is a wonderful and inspirational photography conference where you can meet and learn from many experts
about photography. Attending this annual Photography Conference 3 times provides a very strong inspiration
for my interest in photography and in the creation of my Travelogue website.
