Appreciation
Thanks for visiting. Thanks again to everyone who gave this first-year photoblog their endorsement in the annual Taiwanderful awards. And special thanks again to the models, designers, makeup artists, managers and impresarios whose expertise I have so much appreciated.
Art has a way of making us mindful, of calling us from the chatter and spilkus that often runs inside our heads to notice something now. If you find something of that experience here, though modest in magnitude, I'm glad. And if in any way you find your experience of Taiwan enhanced, I'm delighted.

The Cosplay’s the Thing
Watch this post for a discussion, revised from an earlier feature, about cosplay and photography. Here is an excellent opportunity for new photographers to build portrait-making skills and for photographers of every kind to develop a style. We’ll get a sense of the culture, then talk about the pictures we can make.
See you soon.
