Through the lens

Lately I have been shooting a variety of different subjects in and around town on errands and photo walks. Hope you like some of them.

One of the buildings at Taichung’s China Medical Center. Shot while waiting for my appointment for a check up there. This is one of the largest teaching hospitals in Taiwan and they have gotten really good at bilingual signage throughout facility with many bilingual staff as well. A welcome element when you are in a hospital and already have other things on your mind.

The thing I like about this shot is the representative quality of it-Taiwan is a busy, colorful and vibrant place.

Breakfast is over 

The scooter-the preferred means of transport in crowded and certainly urban Taiwan. Rubber thongs optional :D

Stretching 

Just really loved the silhouette of this tree and the rising sun from behind.

Twins 

When these towers come into view on my regular morning walks-it is a sign that I have entered the back stretch of my walking. Also like the template they make.

Biking 

School kid pedalling along to junior high-I know because it is my son’s school.

Ronnie chilling 

Yes, even in Taiwan we can’t escape multi-national corporate clowns :D

Geometric 

Very geometrically-themed kitchen store.

Reflections 

Like this pond in front of this restaurant. They have fragrant plumeria blossoms in there and it smells great going past it.

Aboriginal spaghetti 

Haven’t a clue of what the aboriginal motif and pasta have to do with one another. I love these craxy, eclectic mashups of cultural icons that are visible in Taiwan’s fusion pop culture.

Crayola steps 

Made me think of Crayola-that’s right the big 64 piece box.

FTW! 

My favorite of the set. This kid was so engaged in his gaming that he nearly walked right into me. I lucked out and got this great shot as a result.
