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 or selling food or getting to or from where they want to go.
Roxy Music is a band that impacted me both aurally and visually from the instant I discovered them. Art, glam and cool music really made this band for me. Street Life is one of many of their good songs.

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 some supplies before we hit his cabin. Here are some of the good folks of Juolan working their trade.
This is a killer live version of Zep's Misty Mountain Hop-enjoy!

Eclectic set starting at the Taichung High Speed Rail station which runs same trains as the Japanese Shinkansen. Great ride. A blue door observed on morning photo walk. I do these Am photowalks several times a week usually starting at 6:30 AM. Ditto for race car on lift. The god structure includes a hall at it's base. It is on the end of a long pier at Kaohsiung's Lotus Lake.
Brian Eno was always so prescient and his early albums with lyrics are so much fun. Perfect songs for English as a second language peeps. China My China is one such ditty. Enjoy.
