Google Plus

My signboard is up at Google+. I don't use the site as a professional gallery but, as it says right on the box, for hanging out. For now, any photos you see posted are likely to be blurry snapshots of bubble tea or rice noodles that I captured with a phone.

My main photography page is still here:

altonsimages.tw

It links to this blog and to the gallery. You can also find photography news at Twitter:

Cork Pops, Exhibit Opens!

Gaze

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the exhibit opening party last night at Le Rouge in New Taipei. We enjoyed a big, fun, energetic crowd. Great times!

The images of Les Rencontres remain on display through June 30. A few new pieces will be added to the exhibit over the coming days.

Many thanks to my colleagues Keisha Chiu and Wendy Hung for showing work as guests. Their compelling images bring intriguing new perspectives to the show.

Thanks to Francis Beauvais and Phoebe Chen of Le Rouge for helping the exhibit go together and for keeping all involved comfortable, welcomed, and well-supplied.

Keisha, Wendy and I thank as well all the collaborators--models, designers, translators and makeup artists--who have made our work possible.
