This series of photos was from a weekend away to celebrate a birthday, choosing the old Taisugar factory complex of renovated Japanese colonial-era officials’ residences. My selfish reason for posting these is that they all come from a single 12-frame roll taken on the Autocord, demonstrating how it is really hard to get an image […]
九份
Jiufen in New Taipei City is a town on a hill, old houses raggedly set into the rise overlooking the sea on the north coast of the island. Space is a priority. In the periphery residential areas, time can seem to have stood still. The basketball court pressing right against old graves climbing a hill, […]
高士神社
The Gaoshi Shrine, and more specifically its Torii gate, was to be the end of the trip. It was also the beginning. Two months prior, we had tried to drive to the shrine but had run out of time. When I planned the bike trip for October, I remembered the image of the landscape through […]

RIP The Lady Blunt
We had Lady for over 6 years. A difficult dog to look after, our mantra with her was “Lady doesn’t give a shit,” but it turns out that Lady was profoundly deaf, and increasingly confused towards the end. She had a way of sitting back and looking at you as if she were leaning on […]

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

舊好茶
Different people live similar experiences in vastly different ways. From what I had been led to believe about the trip to the Aboriginal village of Jiuhaocha in the mountains of Pingtung, I was expecting a moderately difficult trek up to an abandoned settlement of ancestral tradition inhabited only by a hunter and his wife, on […]
love & the new year
From the park at the end of the road it is possible to walk into the hills and go for miles. The entrance, essentially a rise to a river flood buffer zone, is popular with visitors and family day trippers. The local warden head has arranged for installations to be placed here, owls, bears, an […]
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 […]
