抽象水影照片的構圖比畫傢畫齣的抽象畫更自然與奇特，因為它是水的波動畫齣的，又因為它是照片，所以也比抽象畫更精細，這是現代新奇美妙的藝術作品。

　　Because my abstract water image photographs are based on water waves, I believe each photograph is more unique and natural than any painting art. More precise and delicate than a painting too because it is a photograph. I hope readers can enjoy this new, amazing contemporary art from this book.

　　John Hsu is a naturalized U.S. citizen from Taiwan. He had worked 32 years for The Nestle Co. as a food technologist and obtained 24 patents. He holds a B.S. degree in Agricultural Chemistry from National Taiwan University and a M.S. Degree in Food Science from the University of Wisconsin.

　　John has published 8 photography books and co-author 1 English book of poetry and pictures in Taiwan; 7 are of water image photos. He had 26 solo exhibitions in Connecticut. His work “Labyrinth – Goodspeed Opera House” won the Best Photography Award in 2011 New Britain Museum of American Juried Members’ Exhibition. That picture is a water image of that famous opera house.

　　John has realized the ideal photo-art picture is water image. To differentiate from most other water image photos, his photos are composed entirely of water image, in absence of real object. This provides a vast water image of sky as outstanding background for desired composition like having a blank canvas, and creation of painting-like photos. Because water wave is like unique stroke of painter’s brush and the water image photo can looks like abstract painting.

　　John also feel the creation of digital photography now make it possible to take good water image photos because it allows photographer to take un-limited number of photos to select good water image pictures and open the new world for photographer to see the new images that they can’t find on the ground.
