Here are some images I've shot recently:
Toy sellers working busy Lukang New Year holiday crowd. No carnival barkers out that day so these 2 had to do. No that guy didn't offer any cigarettes to children that I know of...
Come on you must get that joke?
Hey look I'm____
I love how Taiwanese kids are dressing and wearing hairstyles like we did back in the late 70's. Keeping the spirit of punk and the Ramones alive. We're a happy family, we're a happy family:me, mom and daddy!
This "B-boy" looking hotdog vendor very much ready for the youthful crowds of the YiZhong St market. This market lies between to local colleges so a big hangout for students and young people.
Now it wouldn't be proper unless our shopping scene had these fashionistas in tow. Are they slamming what they see or gushing about how the simply must have "that outfit" ?
Youth is sought after by the masses
Stay young and stay strong
Stay healthy and you’ll stay long
I’ve felt my youth wither
My age only seems petite by the elders around
Who will soon be six feet down
Exercise brings a mental strain
And physical drain
Pills will kill
And life still will be plain
Youth is achieved in a special way
A heart that flutters when one person is away
Only a small moment in time makes you realize
That youth is only an uneasy crush
When a feeling twinges your soul
Knots up your stomach it makes you feel whole
When passion ruins deep for a person who’s new
Grown is my heart and my intentions are true
That a feeling this strong I never will lose
For even if we fail my youth you have proved
