The first post of the new year, using photos all (with one exception) taken from a single roll of film that sat in one camera for most of 2020. The idea was to use that camera in a specific way. Not to take photos with anything in mind, no project, just to snap something when […]
東埔
I first went to Tungpu in 1999, when it was still deemed helpful to parade Aborigines dancing in cheaply manufactured “traditional” clothes. I remember the empty campsite we arrived at, I remember how it filled up by evening, I remember coming back to the tent after a walk around town to find somebody parked backed […]
clocking 50, and where the hell is sinfeng?
My fiftieth birthday, Year-of-Covid “road trip to Changhua” didn’t go to plan, in a year in which plans have had to be largely abandoned across the board anyway. This was no glorious return to the Bayon; it was a trip to the middle of nowhere for a business room in a second-rate love hotel. It […]
costume
Saturday Oct. 31 was going to be a busy day, and it delivered on the promise. Two events were happening in Taipei, and I wanted to cover both, not just for the photography, but also to use in dialogue pages for the newspaper. In downtown Taipei there was an LGBT Pride march; in the north […]
萬福宮
These two gentlemen were acting as the guards for a temporary temple set up to the side of a shed constructed outside the Wanfu Temple in Kaohsiung’s Cieding District. Inside the shed, craftsmen were hard at work building a 王船 “King Boat” that is scheduled to be ceremonially burnt in January. The temporary temple bears […]
金門二
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 […]
大安公園二
An afternoon in Taipei’s Daan Forest Park on a Sunday stolen from work, after waking up exhausted for no good reason. These were my favorite shots. The original 大安公園 is here.
gods on the streets
I had in mind two old photos. The one in yesterday’s post on 屏東墓地 and the above one, from a series I named Gods on the Streets for the benefit of filing the negs. My filing system is hardly well organized. I was amazed at how quickly I found them both. I always liked the […]
屏東墓園
Circa 2002, my partner’s father passed away just before Chinese New Year. I remember we ate simple food for that week, out of respect. It was not considered auspicious to have a burial at the new year, so it was not until several days after lunar new year day that the funeral could be held. […]
白沙屯
This year’s Baishatun pilgrimage was originally set to take place in late March/ early April. I had planned it carefully, and delayed the planning of my trip to the UK to make sure that I could attend all three main days. These plans, of course, had to be put on hold, as the trip to […]
