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 […]

The Ricoh GXR system with the Leica A12 module was the first digital camera I ever bought, and I bought it reluctantly. It was not a good seller, and the company discontinued it pretty quickly. I told myself I would not enter a cycle of upgrading and buying new digital cameras, and would wait a […]

Two pictures from Taipei’s Daan Park in Oct. 2020; the first owes much to a 35mm colour photo by Vivian Maier: I was referencing it as I took it. I have problems with the X-pro 1; I think the trick is not to overexpose. The sensor falls apart when you do that.

It only took me six years to process this photo. A friend offering his afternoon and advice.
松山靈隱寺羅漢
Lining the stairs leading to the Songshan Ling Yin Si on Xiangshan in western Taipei are a set of idiosyncratic — and to my mind beautifully conceived — depictions of luohan/arhats 羅漢. Walking in the opposite direction to the intended approach, we reached these before we met the algal-camouflaged lion at the entrance, and I […]

On Sept. 25 we visited Kinmen for a second time. Last year we came here as tourists, and were fascinated by the architecture and decoration of the buildings in small isolated communities. This time we came as journalists to do a report on training tradesmen to restore/ renovate historic and heritage buildings. The sense that […]
