Photos from Taiwan

William, an avid photographer and nice guy to boot, will be having a photography show at Hud La Voos in Tainan on the 28th of June. I have personally met him and enjoyed chatting and hearing what he is up to. He has had several pieces on his works done [...]

This years Peace Festival had an unexpected twist to things. Due to the heavy rainfall leading up to the event, there was a lot of mud and grass just ready to be churned and turned by the party goers. By Saturday night, what once was the nice grassy yard in front [...]

The Basic Aid festival was held in Puli this year. I had never been there, and as such only recently learned of the geographic center of Taiwan monument. As nerdy as it may be, I was excited to go there and see it. It isn’t as cool as straddling the equator, [...]

Here are some great photos from this years Spring Scream. I didn’t want to wait any longer, as some stories have been trickling in and I have to decide how to arrange them. In the mean time, here are some sweet visuals for you to ponder. Just to let you know, [...]

Had a mission to go see the flowers that are growing in Mei Nong today. It never materialized though. We ended up going near the flower fields however, and seeing some interesting places, we just didn’t get as far as the flower fields. The weather was iffy, with intermittent showers and [...]

After going to check out the awesome cosplay event yesterday at Cheng Kung University in Tainan, I couldn’t resist going back for more today. The costumes, colors, and personalities make for such great photos. I originally planned on making a short video collage with some interviews, but after I started I realized that [...]

I was very lucky today. I was able to meet up with Lief and William today, as well as many other Taiwanese photographers at Lief’s restaurant Hud La Noom. I didn’t know it, but William was going to be interviewed and by a TTV reporter, a response to an article done on him [...]

I stumbled upon a new site created by Taiwan bloggers David and Mark. I personally think it is great. I always enjoy checking gout the older pictures and thinking about the way things might have been. Good job guys.

I had the pleasure of taking two vacationers out for the day today. They wanted to see the country, so we hopped in the car and cruised to a place in Tainan County called the 曾文水庫 Tseng (Zun) Wen Reservoir.
Joe and Jason

Election time is here once again in Taiwan and we are in the throws of the carnival like atmosphere that is Taiwanese politics. Political rallies can be heard far and wide (literally, as I am currently being blasted in my 10th floor apartment with information about upcoming rallies from trucks that cruise slowly down [...]

Here is a photo I couldn’t resist taking while I was at the Taiwan Lantern Festival. The festival was a totally wholesome event with scores of children and families out to enjoy the sunshine, lanterns, and events set up for their enjoyment. I was walking around and saw this guy and was at [...]

It was a busy Saturday, but it was worth it in the end. I made it down to The Rolling Stone in Tainan to see local band Divebomb

Ilan band The Deadly Vibes

and from parts unknown the Lust Sluts Burlesque art/performance show

Steven Vigar was on hand with some friends to help take photographs [...]

Taking photos is so easy these days with the dropping costs of digital cameras and memory cards it is possible for so many people to take thousands of photos and pick out their jewels for display. I am personally enjoying this side of photography myself, but the further I delve into it, the harder [...]

I have seen this many times before, and I was finally able to capture it on pixel. Now, you can think of this shot as perverted, but the truth of the matter is you can see this fashion all over Taiwan. It became popular a while back and still can be seen (as evidence [...]

It’s been a busy month, and I’ve got photos from the Taiwan Lantern Festival - 台灣燈會 2008 in Tainan County （It was held at a place called Solar City in the Southern Taiwan Science Park). I have to say, it was a really cool event. There were so many lanterns and things to [...]
