# Reasons

Why pictures and videos are not updated so fast?

Joshua is working full time as a public accountant.
Teaching Chinese brush painting and calligraphy classes
Booking and preparing for next demonstration
Selling calligraphy & painting works online worldwide
Organizing pictures and videos between several computers, cell phones, and hard drives for storage and editing.
Serving as the President of Dallas Chinese Calligraphy & Painting Association from January 2015 and January 2018. (Hopefully someone else can be the next president in 2018.)
Administrator of 3 WeChat groups of CalligraPainting (One for the Association; one for my classes; another one for auction.)
Administrator of Pu Xinyu CalligraPainting Facebook Group to preserve my teacher's teacher's historical contribution to calligraphy and painting.
Periodically updating other areas of this Website
Various local requests, business activities, and art investment projects
Other local cultural activities - Dallas is getting even more culturally diversified than ever, especially for the innumerous activities in the Chinese community. I really hope to stay home for more personal practice and more time in painting instead of attending social events during weekends.

I try to keep everything organized and balanced in life and arts. Usually I add a few most important pictures right after the event, and then eventually come back to add more pictures and videos when I have time.
