Messing With the Kid

04.19.2010 by Mark Forman

Had a nice experience recently while visiting ZhongXing XinCun in Nantou. I was standing under the shade of big trees, sipping a nice coffee made from freshly ground beans. The coffee man claimed that he was a photographer back in the day. A Nikon man like my friend Todd who I was visiting. Then we [...]

Surfing the Rabbit Hole

04.16.2010 by Mark Forman

What has that silly Mad Hatter done now? Shrunken the building down to fit the coffee cup or? Perspective-how do we come by it? Maintain it? Change it? Jefferson Airplane chose to go down the rabbit hole way before the Matrix did. Here is White Rabbit, a song about their journey.

HeartBeat

04.12.2010 by Mark Forman

Some times we can be too sterile in our thinking. It might be time to go out and get out of your bubble and touch something or someone to remember what it means to "feel" again. Go smell the coffee, sniff the flowers or get on a cold marble slab. Find the contact point that [...]

Green Onions

04.06.2010 by Mark Forman

While my image is not derived from the onion family, nor is it caramelized somehow it makes me think of chlorophyll I guess do to it's pastel-green palette. Originally when I was shooting this off of a big stainless steel sculpture I wasn't thinking of going abstract like this as much as minimal. Booker T. and the MG's are [...]

Oh Lady Be Good

04.02.2010 by Mark Forman

This young lady was good to my eye and caught my attention. Herb Ellis who is a guitarists guitarist was very good to my ear and eyes when I saw him and Barney Kessel (included in the video) performing at a small club in NYC. One of their big things while performing was to do a classic [...]

The Sorter

03.31.2010 by Mark Forman

At times our tasks in life can be very daunting. All we see is garbage mess and ruin. We can't make the adjustment and shift perspective to see the potential or the permutation of the near future. Music: Wishbone Ash is a guitar lover's treasure. Surprisingly under-known band with 2 goo lead guitarists that compliment each other [...]

Black Market

03.23.2010 by Mark Forman

Many people don't have a grasp for markets: stocks, bonds, futures, etc. Food markets are a good common denominator. They always have people around buying selling and looking. Black Market is a good upbeat song(can it be a song without lyrics?), by Weather Report. The leadership in the band came from 2 former Miles Davis sidemen: Wayne Shorter on [...]

Utopia

03.20.2010 by Mark Forman

An eclectic mix of images shot around my walking tour of my city: Taichung, Taiwan. I hope you liek the different colors offered in this mix. Utopia is probably my favorite flavor of Todd Rundgren a very talented musician and producer. This is their theme song.

A world within a world. There is so much going on around us. Some we see,some we glance at and some we really see.I've been having about a week of down time due to some camera issues. Hopefully this will be resolved quickly especially since I have a new vintage German manual lens I want [...]

Street Life

03.08.2010 by Mark Forman

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 [...]
