My name is Oliver Lu. I was born in Vancouver but raised in southern China. I have chosen the cover art of Radiohead’s In Rainbows as the background of my profile photo because music has been the center of my life—both as art and as a sign of my personality. In that album, much of the album reveals the beauty of anarchy: despite the frenzied, sometimes chaotic, arrangements, there is a persistent undertow of hope that lead vocalist Thom Yorke brings to the table.
The remainder of my photos show who I am and what I love. A photo on the beach shows how much I love photography; I believe photography lets me capture moments of fleetingness of the world’s natural beauty. I’ve also put a photo of Shibuya Sky from the top of a trip to Japan. Travel always lifts me up when I am down or numb because it lets me see the world in a whole view again.
