WERE Hello, Hello, kids, this is risk.

The show where people tell true stories they never thought they

dare to share. I'm Kevin Allison, and this is bad, bad, not good behind me now. That's all one word.

Now, we're calling today's episode What I'm Made of. These are two remarkable stories from two remarkable men who found themselves at a

juncture in their lives where they suddenly perceived things a little bit differently in terms of

where they'd come from, what they'd been through, and how that had affected what they'd become.

We're going to start with the remarkable artist, Shen Wei,

whose photographs you really must check out at shenphoto.com.

His photographs have been included in the Museum of Modern Art here in New York,

the Library of Congress, many museums throughout the world.

He's been in the New Yorker.

Shen wanted to work on how he communicates about his art.

So he came and took a workshop with us at the Story Studio, and he told this story in class,

and I thought, oh my gosh, I have to have him sit down and record this one with me.

So without further ado, here is Shen Wei, with a story we call, But Now I See.
