About

My name is Holly Chu, if that couldn't be more obvious, haha. I probably have more nicknames than you would in a lifetime.

I'm just a 17 year old Dallas girl trying to get through the curveballs life throws at you.

Good music, good films, good books, good company, good times.

I have been webdesigning since 2002, starting off with my own little geocities site. Shortly following that, I got hosted by the amazing Wendy at fove.net. After a year or two, I wanted my own domain, so I bought one-day.org, which started out as a personal blog site but turned into a photoblog that I still update regularly.

Photography has always been an interest of mine. I have experimented with it since 2004, but I am still relatively new to it. I don't have a wicked SLR camera or anything like that, but I do own a very nice Canon point and shoot camera (PowerShot A620) that I love dearly.

I find inspiration in all of life's amazingly contradictory mess.
