Nothing wrong with either of these questions I guess but they make me feel that people have too [...]

Finding the Right Destination

02.12.2013 by Mark Forman

I dropped my wife off at the bus station yesterday. She and her sister had about a 7 hour bus ride to get to north eastern Taiwan from out west central location. Oh joy! Many people were there and across the street at the train station to begin their journey or complete it. Here is [...]

Words of Gold

02.05.2013 by Mark Forman

Went walking around one of my favorite markets in town: Shui Nan Market. This are was mainly inhabited by mainland Chinese inhabitants and mostly military families since there is an air force base right next door. On this cool but sunny afternoon(turned to cool and not so sunny right as I was leaving) there were [...]

Cluttered

01.11.2013 by Mark Forman

I guess candid street photography appeals to me most because of the totally unknown variable-what will be there when you turn this corner or maybe even go right where you usually go left, or walk down some alley you've never been down before. They don't always reward but when you do it is a great [...]

Choir Practice

12.28.2012 by Mark Forman

Where do I begin...at the end of course. Here it is almost 2013. I remember as a kid when 2001: A Space Odyssey came out it seemed like a million miles away. That year is already in the rear view mirror and we are at '13. I've been enjoying the discovery of the worlds around [...]

Thanks…

This is one of my many shots that took in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This one in their Chinatown-since my hotel was right next door to Chinatown and short walk from the site for the conference I attended. I know that feeling, that look in the man's eyes. Sometimes it's easy to be focused on what [...]

Sanford & Son

I often get asked about do I ask permission...,etc. about my street shots. So from time to time I run down my street ninja ethic for those that have not heard it from me before. So here goes... What I hope to capture is a frozen moment of reality in a bubble-in this case through [...]

Panda Looming

10.25.2012 by Mark Forman

Last night I was having a discussion with some local friends. The subject of imagination came up. One friend said she has difficulty using her imagination. I knew immediately what she was referring too. The traditional Confucian education system emphasizes rote memorization and favors classics and awareness and acceptance of them over exploring and considering [...]

Something Strange

10.18.2012 by Mark Forman

Definitely not the Energizer Bunny...I guess I'll proceed at my own risk. Wire-Strange There's something strange going on tonight, something going on that's not quite right, Joey's nervous and the lights are bright, there's something going on that's not quite right. There's something going down that wasn't here before, keep your eyes glues to the floor, no-one's [...]

Chit Chit

10.17.2012 by Mark Forman

Don't you just love those guys(usually men, probably exclusively men) that make the guns with their fingers and make that "chit, chit" sound like they're pulling the triggers in their playful smarmy way? I've been experiencing a new level of understanding and satisfaction of adjusted ISO and aperture settings for those of you that care [...]
