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.

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 […]

One aesthetic I really love is colorized glass negative prints from late 19th/ early 20th Century Asia. Fooling around with various filters and layers gave this effect. I quite like it.
東港
On Oct. 28, over 200 troupes — including zhentou battle arrays and palanquins representing temples from all over Taiwan — descended upon Donggang Township in Pingtung County. They had come to participate in a ceremony to “invite the Wangye Royal Lords” down to Earth to bless the local area and rid it of disease, bad […]
