[ 風吹的寧靜, 暴風前的平靜 ]
On the Hujing Island, we strolled along the peaceful streets of this small fishing village. This island is only peaceful today. It was not quiet at another time of history. Some claimed the Pearl Harbour attack was planned and executed by the Japanese army stationed on this island. Others believed the stories of a sunken city. Anyway, maybe because the typhoon was approaching, there wasn't a lot of visitors around. When I saw the curtains, I knew...(Continue reading...)


我們在虎井碼頭旁的"最熱鬧"的街逛著. 也許是因為颱風將近, 上島的訪客不多. 當我看到那被風吹起的帆布時, 就感覺好像到了另一個國度 (香格里拉?), 有點不真實.  虎井嶼, 一個軍事重地, 據說是日軍偷襲珍珠港的主要基地,  虎井, 也是個有著沉城故事的....

[ 早了颱風一步 ]  - 才能看到這麼藍的海.


The day before we set off to the Penghu Islands off the shore of Taiwan (in between Taiwan and China on the Taiwan Strait), we knew a typhoon was approaching but the travel agency didn't cancel the trip. So we flew from the Songshan Airport in Taipei City to... (Continue Reading...)


雖然颱風確定會來, 但我們還是踏上了遠征澎湖的年度旅途. 第一天本來是要做水上七合一的活動, 但怕颱風來了離島都別想去了, 所以我們一下飛機就被拉去坐快艇去七美.到望安中途站開了 1 個多小時. 越靠近時越像在坐雲霄飛車. 要到七美...

"我就是要有創意的攝影, 其餘免談!"
We all went back to 2046 Retro Shanghai style... to explore the bright and dark side of the older days in photos and films at a old mansion built in 1940 for the mayor of the city. The mansion was abandoned...(Continue reading...)


我們就在陰雨綿綿的星期天下午在舊市長官邸辦了一場回到 2046 復古上海灘的攝影聚會. 其實沒有什麼特別的 occassion, 只是一群好友覺得人生可以多一些不同的顏色, 多一些不一樣的角度, 從...

[ 復古之旅前的準備 ]  Alice in Wonderland... except. this is a very different kind of "wonderland".
Preparing for our journey to the oldER epoch. Actually we had a pretty crazy event planned for the next day and we still haven't finalized our outfit. We ate, we got buried in a costume shop, we walked around in rain, we... (Continue Reading...)


其實隔天我們有個很瘋狂的活動, 但到前一天我們還在找尋我們的戲服. 晚上還在餐廳盪著鞦韆吃義大利麵聊 event. 真不知這篇該放在哪個 category 裡. 有吃, 有喝, 有 スぺーショ 的. 很期待我們所說的瘋狂 event 吧? 那可要等大家的 photo 都 ok la~! 搞不好再來個聯展!  Video 的部分可能要找人協助修啦! 還有我們的旁白... :p  先賣...

Here, we all became quiet. You wouldn't expect to find one of the last remaining Japanese Buddhist temples in Taiwan here, in ... (Continue reading...)

好比說動作照.. 發現新大陸.. 新朋友照.. 下次再來些 movie still shots 好啦!  這次除了上次去的景點外, 也有....

[ 從新聞人的角度, 看攝影的另一個意義 ]
Viewing the world from news reporters' perspective; exploring another meaning of photography.


The first time I encountered the World Press Photos Exhibition was back in 2005 when I was traveling in Amsterdam. The exhibition as held in the oldest church in the Red Light District (ironic I know).  (Continue reading...)


記得第一次遇到 World Press Photos Exhibition (世界新聞攝影展) 是在 2005 年的阿姆斯特丹, 展出的地點是在紅燈區中間的最古老的教堂, 門票還不便宜. 那時想到 Press Photo 一定都是一些很驚悚.. 很 shocking.. 很血淋淋地把殘酷現實世界呈現出來的畫面, 所以在...

[ 水草文化館 ]  Seaweed Gallery
有時候人生就是要來一個 "去他的 XYZ". 這樣才能退一步-海闊天空一下.  
總算暫時解脫考試的夢饜. 親愛的夏天我來啦! (雖然 technically 我已經沒有 "暑假" 這種東西了 *sigh*)


I managed to escape to the other side of the Central Mountain Range (中央山脈) of Taiwan to experience what we would call the "country-style" of living. Thanks to the ladies and gentlemen that made this trip enjoyable! :)  Although I pretty much have to travel to I-Lan (宜蘭) at least once in a week,  I hardly get a chance to see the places in that area. So this time, we are off to I-Lan to the most-talked about Whisky Distillery (金車威士忌酒莊) and....

最近一個月在 intense 閉關中, 所以一直沒有什麼 outing plans or exciting things. 
不過這可怕的日子的終わり (end) 已經進入倒數 10 天).
I just want to get it over with! June, July and August are full of exciting things and I can't wait!


Had our special day dinner at the Mitsui Mingshui Japanese Restaurant the other day. I think among...

[ 誰來了??   校長耶!!!  ]
UBC President Professr Stephen Toope 看起來夠年輕 夠帥吧!
好久不見的校長 和更多好久不見的 Tomodachi!


Last time our president of UBC visited Taipei was in the later half of 2007. Can't believe it has already been almost two years since he visited. It felt like it just happened last year!  We had a pre-event lunch before the official event in the evening with VP of Development & Alumni Management & Executive Director of UBC Alumni Association. It was so exciting meeting them and we even...

[ CMEF Spring 2009 in Shenzhen ]  第61屆 中國國際醫療器械博覽會
One of the largest medical device trade show/exhibition in Asia. Probably ranking second largest in the world after the "Mecca" in Dusseldof, Germany.


有人說去參展像是去拜拜... 一年可能要拜個好幾次.
Some say going to exhibitions is like pilgrimage: costs quite a fortune & might not necesssarily get what you want. But I guess that'll depend mostly on your strategy and plannng.  Thousands and thousands of people like us from around the world make the trip to "pray" for what they hope to receive materially, "intellectually" or....

[ Beitou Green Sulfur Hotspring - 所謂的人間仙境]
有黃石公園的調調, 日本溫泉鄉的溫馨, 和台灣人的熱情.


Beitou is a northern and more "rural" district that's still a part of Taipei City. It's quite famous for its hotspring and during the Japanese occupation era, the business in this small area bloomed as a result of that. When you're on your way to the place shown in the photo from the MRT Xinbeitou station, if you'd be to a hotspring town in Japan, you'd think you were in Japan! The...
