Finally, the reason for the trip to Taiwan: to save the black-faced spoonbill!

A mai tai remixed: Equal parts Big Sur and Taiwan with a splash of Polynesia and a Hawaiian float = East Coast of Taiwan.
taiwan.iii.drop.dead.gorges
Subduction of the Phillippine Sea plate beneath the Eurasian plate paints a jaw dropping landscape in eastern Taiwan. Impossibly vertical terrain rises an average of 10-20cm annually; all gains negated with and equal amount of weathering. This means lots of landslides, bedload, and river gorges, including the easily accessible Taroko National Park (that is, until the tour buses arrive in the...
taiwan.ii.penghu
A visit to the Penghu (pong-hoo) Archipelago, a cluster of islands in the wind funnel that is the Taiwan Strait. Just a 2-hour vomit-inducing ferry ride from Taiwan proper, the many bridges connecting the islands promoted exploration via scooter. So scoot we did.

taiwan.i.templetime
Fresh off a trip to Taiwan for a conference. Our hosts put us up in the pilgrims hostel at Nankunshen temple in the southern region of the island. Firecrackers were our alarm clocks.

rapa nui
Nothing fresh to offer, just some photos from before I knew anything about taking photos. I visited a tiny remote volcanic island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with some friends during my studies in Chile. Upon request, I brought horse medicine from the mainland for a local. He lived by himself on the opposite side of the island, so Mikey & I borrowed bikes and rode through a lava...

farewell leggy blonde
I’m downsizing my holdings due to an impending move, and today I sold my ‘74 Schwinn tandem. Many memories on this fly lady, such nice lines…a sad day indeed.

drifts
After getting bombarded by podlets of sleet on a strangely hued day, I am reminded of how special winter is…especially a late winter while we are saving our daylight. I finally got my film back (and some severe sticker shock…$28 for 36 exposures!…definitely time to find a darkroom.).
sad lunch
Not much to share in the wake of my sputtering virality (I made that word up)…except what I feasted on for lunch the other day. Waiting on a few rolls of film from the lab, but just found out my local lab will no longer be developing black and white film any longer, as of April Fools Day. In fact, the only commercial black&white labs left are in SF & LA. Anyone have a darkroom I...

tsunami surge
An a-frame rolls through amid the tsunami surge at an extremely crowded rivermouth. Ghetto birds hovering, waves firing, harbor destruction ensuing. Turned out to be a pretty exciting Friday. Here’s a video I shot around 11:30am in the upper harbor. The lady standing next to me was extremely annoying at the time, but upon further review she has some pretty classic quotes. YouTube viewers...
