Accomplishments in Photography/Videography
1993 El Toro Jet Crash broadcast on CNN
B Yen's rise to international repute as a photographer/videographer started with this seminal event. Subsequently, Gamma Liaison/Getty Images of New York picked him up as a client photographer. His photography is marketed/seen all over the world in an international demographic. It even includes Vogue magazine.

B Yen gained additional international repute with his lead-photo for Newsweek Magazine's March '97 cover story on Comet Hale-Bopp. B Yen's astrophotography is marketed/seen all over the world, especially in Baja/Mexico because of his familiarity with 4x4'ing & OffRoad Racing travels. (for the May '94 annular-eclipse, he setup his expedition site in Bahia Las Animas, just south of Bahia de Los Angeles) Another one of his favorite sites is the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, where he photographed Comet Hyakutake from Organ Pipe National Monument (Astronomy Magazine full-page photo) in SouthEast Arizona (on the US/Mexico border)

B Yen's efforts in OffRoad Racing (specializing in detailed pre-running of OffRoad race courses), paid off when his photos were used in all THREE major OffRoad magazines: OffRoad, Four-Wheeler, Petersen's 4Wheel&Offroad. In fact, he scored article+photos in all 3 magazines, as well. Unfortunately, the infringement on OffRoad Nation's rights in the SouthWest deserts, forced him to resign from further OffRoad Racing coverage in 1992!? Because, detailed pre-running/reconaissance of the race-courses were no longer possible. It's a real tragedy, that U.S. citizens can no longer roam the deserts -- given the upsurge in SUV popularity.
