It's great meting other people from all over the world who enjoy and/or produce photos. Some really talented creative people there. Always being challenged [...]

Photographically speaking…

03.10.2009 by Mark Forman

Haven't posted photo essay in a bit. I've been getting more and more involved in PP(post processing) of my images. Why? 1) Because I can, 2) Because I like it. I feel that tools like Photoshop allow a photographer to better reproduce his feelings and vision. I also feel certain photographs(many for that matter) speak [...]

Faces talk

02.15.2009 by Mark Forman

I've been realizing more and more that people's faces tell the best stories in the best way possible. So much is conveyed in a glance, a smirk, a frown... One tiny gesture contains much more complexity than all of the Grand Canyon IMHO. Anyway enough babbling let's have a look. This man got what he needed and begins [...]

Just another point of you…

01.08.2009 by Mark Forman

I've been getting back into the photo rhythm: the dance of light, color, texture and shadow. Great noodle factory in the traditional market near my house. Traditional markets open in the morning usually have live poultry, sometimes live fish, and fresh produce for the day's needs. My favorite is "MianGeDa" a chunky, chewy, noodle bit. [...]

Some recent photos

11.03.2008 by Mark Forman

Yesterday I took my family into town for some shopping. We decided to get a little fresh air and exercise in the Taichung Ampitheater park. This little guy looked like he was having some fun and caught my eye. A worker on the park construction project. Kevin and Anne about to cross the bridge. [...]

Taichung Jazz Festival

10.23.2008 by Mark Forman

At some point the city fathers decided they wanted Taichung to be the "cultural center" of Taiwan as well as the geographic center. Part of this resulted in the now annual Jazz Festival that takes place here in October. I attended the first night at People's Square with my son Kevin. We stayed for the [...]

What I’ve been looking at…

10.13.2008 by Mark Forman

Here are some of the images I've taken recently on walks and jaunts around Taichung-central Taiwan. Just loved this "buddha" outing. Several on the truck in the beautiful morning light. Diligently tidying up for 10/10 Taiwan national hioliday. Fishing on the holiday-good way to chill and pass time. Lanterns in a row-the temple was visibkle from [...]

Through the lens

09.24.2008 by Mark Forman

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 [...]

This is the largest market in Taichung, Taiwan (Taiwan's 3rd largest city). It's insane-totally vibrant and busy and fun.

Light, shadow and color

08.12.2008 by Mark Forman

Got a bug in me to go and shoot some photos in some new spots or ones that I haven't covered that well. I was still within my favorite light/time band:early morning or late afternoon. Here are a few images that were fun to shoot and I feel came out fairly well. Hope you agree. I've [...]
