Two of my favorite places in town to shoot are ChienKuo Market-the main wet and produce market in town and by the train station. There is one reason: The people. Both of those places offer a limitless supply of real people going through life. No pretense or artifice. Just buying...

Juolan is a nice mountain town in central Taiwan. I visited there the day after Christmas with my friend Mr. Shao. He owns a nice little farm up in the hills where he grows persimmons and raises nice free range chickens. We always stop at the market to pick up...

We were very fortunate on this day to capture the best of the spotty weather on this day to visit Nantou and the 2010 Sand Sculpture Festival. Nantou is a nice area mostly in the foothills and mountains and offers some great places to travel, hike, cycle, mountain climb etc. In...

Amelia

Joni Mitchell has an amazing voice and she is a gifted musician as well. The thing I love about her the most is how she takes risks and continually experiments challenging herself and developing her art. Amelia is a song that she did with Jaco Pastorious one of the greatest musicians and...

Flower head-ever get all preened and looking great but get the sense you're still missing something? Swinging-sometimes it's nice to get lost in the shadows or drift between shadow and light. Cow vs. Cat-who's side are you on? Don't believe Gaylord Focker-you can't milk cats... Overworked-here's a bonus for when you are working hard (for your ears). Roxy Music was...
