To an extent, all photographs are a self-portrait. One is drawn to a scene because it contains something of one’s view of the world. But only to an extent. This was taken 15 years before I even noticed it. I imagine I was moved to take out the camera because of the interesting geometry of […]

白沙屯2023
I was hoping the pandemic would not be affecting the Baishatun pilgrimage this year, but I was wrong. I had anticipated being allowed into the temple behind the waiting palanquin on the night of its departure, but again the inner hall was closed to the public. The “deal” is this: the night of departure is […]

hassel
It has been pointed out to me that I like doing things the hard way. It’s been like that right from the beginning with my photography. I didn’t want things to look like they should. I carried around a Hasselblad studio camera instead of a 35mm. I loaded custom-rolled, specially imported Kodak HIE-infrared stock 120 […]
昨日世界
My understanding is that this area is a group of traditional buildings renovated for the 2010 Taipei Flora Expo. It’s actually a very relaxing spot that we discovered not far from the amusement park. We were caught in a storm, but foul weather is no excuse for not taking a photo where you see one. […]
bric-a-brac
A bric-a-brac shop in Hastings. First I saw the dog, then the jacket; I was tickled by the juxtaposition. This was during the 2017 Jack in the Green festival; you can see the poster in the window. The slightly old feel is due to the lens: a 1950s Leica 35mm summaron 2.8. It was used […]
東南亞
A selection of photos from SE Asia during my period of traveling from 2002 through 2008. Since I’m no longer really taking photos, but can’t let go of the blog, I thought I’d use this from now on as more of a record of past experiences. The pictures from Thailand are from Ayutthaya, a former […]
Amusement Park
In north Taipei, not far from the Taipei Fine Arts Museum, there is an old amusement park. There are still old rides there, including a carousel. I was there with a Konica IIIa that had travelled the world when I couldn’t. This was a test roll, my first with the camera. The lens is certainly […]
Staying negative
Covid, what metamorphoses you bring; but you have ended this for me. When I started taking photos, I used to say I was collecting negatives; there was no plan. Now I look back through the boxes of negs, I don’t see a life measured in pictures, I see an insatiable, pointless brick of a thing. […]
