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 […]
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 […]

It only took me six years to process this photo. A friend offering his afternoon and advice.
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 […]

This was simply supposed to be a test shot for accuracy of the rangefinder on my Bronica RF645. We were at the National Palace Museum in Taipei and went to the small park to the side of the path leading to the museum. It was just after 5pm, and the sun was setting. The slanting […]

Yes, it’s a picture of the dogs. To be more exact, it is a very basic scan of a negative taken from a Minolta Autocord TLR from the 1960s. This was a test of a newly repaired and CLA’d camera, to make sure everything was working properly. I’m pleased to say the repairman has done […]

After a break of several years, I’m returning to the darkroom to learn toning techniques. The photo was taken with a Minolta Autocord, printed on Ilford Art, first skin and table sepia toned, dress and pot coloured using Fotospeed palette toner blue without intensifier and then covered in resist while the print was submerged […]
new noir
There’s something that fascinates me about a person concentrating upon a view of their reflection in a mirror. Compositionally it presents a challenge, and yet is quite simple. It’s the eye, stupid. It is the eye that is looking, the eye that it the center of attention, and the eye that may well be the […]
