Hi! I’m Vivian.
I’m a New York City-based writer and photographer. I moonlight as a music documentarian and daylight as an environmental & public health advocate.
My work has appeared in print in Rolling Stone (Germany), SPIN, Q Magazine, American Songwriter, and No Depression, and online in The New York Times, RollingStone.com, Slate, Pitchfork, and Billboard. Artist interviews and live music reviews are on Un-Titled Project, Blurred Culture, Pancakes & Whiskey, and LADYGUNN.

Lithophytes are plants, including orchids, that grow on rocks. One of the characters in my Chinese name is a type of orchid. I subsist on rock 'n roll. And there you have it: the origin story of the photography handle.
